    Happy Hump Day kids. Gam3rguy, hope PT continues to go smoothly. My program today was back squats, speed squats, reverse lunges, the sled (my favorite) and glute ham raises. The dogs and I are now headed for the woods.

    Have a great day kids.

    Sunday will end the first week. feels pretty good so far. sore, but good. I'm slowly increasing my calories to rebuild that arm (hence why I started logging again...and yes ice cream, LOL!). still at a deficit but will increase until doc clears me for no restrictions...then go into surplus and heavier training for the winter. belly fat may happen, but I don't expect much. I lost it before, so no worries. :p

    Normally I like to workout 5 days / week and rest 2. Lately I have been working out 2 days / week and doing F-ALL the other 5! Really need to get back on track. Not cool.

    Hey cool kids - can I jump in? Started tracking again yesterday.
    I had lost 20 pounds two years ago with CICO and then stopped doing what worked and gained it back plus some.
    Now I'm looking to lose about 30 pounds by my birthday in April (turning 47. when did that happen???)
    I'm sitting at 207 right now at 5'7", which is only a few pounds off from my 9 months pregnancy weight.
    At least I didn't lose my gym obsession. I'm there 3-6 times a week. I'd go every day if I had the time. It's my stress reliever and my sanctuary!!

    Hey cool kids, please bear with me as I'm learning this group. It looks like exercise is a thing, which is great because like Jayemes, workout time is my way of relieving stress and it's my sanctuary, too!

    I haven't done anything today or yesterday, I have a cold. Maybe tonight if the fog lifts, so to speak. But tomorrow it's Tabata.

    Wednesday I practiced (dancing, my love!) for just 30 minutes - I knew I wasn't feeling so good.
    Tuesday is usually HIIT class, and last Tuesday was no exception. I love that class.

    So today I might just walk because I'm still under the weather.

    I'm trying to adjust my outlook on food and my diet to looking forward to eating more vegetables and having more of a low carb diet - my gut is always happier when I go that route. So weight loss will probably follow. It's just hard because I've had a sweet tooth forever. I just gave up chocolate - it was like a small death. But I'm trying to focus on what I can eat and enjoy, and hope that these changes can heal me, or just get used to the new normal.

    Happy Monday kids, hope all of you had a great weekend.

    Gam3rguy, You know you rock in my book. Awesome job on the trail. You'll be good as new in no time. Can't wait to see what you will be up to next. Kiss the princess for me.

    Yesterday, my coach decided to have me try lower back squats and that did the trick with me going lower in depth. I was excited for that progress. Apparently this is the squat that powerlifters use in competition. The flip side to the lower back squat is the over usage of the shoulder resulting in tenderness. I did not feel shoulder pain, I actually felt wrist pain which I will tape my wrist.

    Today's workout was deadlifts, slamballs, overhead press, and HLR's.

    My NSV was buying jeans and a top from the junior section at TJ MAXX.

    Welcome newbies.

    Have a great day ahead.
