"TLFC" exercise and accountability support!

Happy Monday!

Cardio: sea swimming 30 minutes.

Strength: the strength to keep walking out to sea to get to swimming depth, when all I wanted to do was walk back out and get a coffee!

Food: was ravenous straight after the swim but managed to stay within reasonable calorie range.

Assessment: - a pretty good day I would say; playing PF: Dark Side of the Moon on the way back along winding country roads to complete my afternoon's work - with a coffee!

edit: funny how this accountability thing works - soon after typing here I was hitting the floor doing some push-ups! By far the best thread on MFP.

additional strength: 3 x 10 chaturanga style push-ups (forearms vertical on way down; elbows in);
3 x 8 each side - box assisted pistols (18 inch high box);
6 x 10 second L-sits (with heels still on the floor - I'm working on this one);
and finally - 5 x 5 breaths in V-sit (Boat pose).
- wasn't even going to do any strength work, so I have TLFC to thank for this - thank you!

Happy Tuesday!!

Football practice, 2 hours. Work as defensive end. Bruised up my shoulders on a drill. We have an important playoff game this Saturday in Kansas!

Food: on target

i think i want in on this.
my goal is a 30 lb loss by november. i reassess at that point to see where i am. strength train 3x/week conditioning 2x/week. sometimes that conditioning is mixed in so it's more like 5x a week with lifting.

Cardio: none

Strength: deadlifts to 80%x3x5, bench pyramid to 90x1x2 with 16 sets total, and then deficit deadlifts from 3.5" for 5x5@65%

Assessment: day 3 of low carb phase. staying on track.

Happy Thursday!!

Football practice: 2 hours. Practiced as defensive end and tackle.

May not get a chance to post over the weekend, as headed to Kansas for playoff game.

best wishes for your friend's son.

Cardio: none

Strength: bench to 120x3x5, squat to 160 for 1-3 reps x5, and then bench with 80 lbs chain for 30 reps in sets of 3-5

Assessment: after five days of low carb, i was feeling a bit nuts. gave up and drank a cider with st germain and a glass of wine. delicious, but now i am focusing on just eating whole foods today to get back to a decent frame of mind.

Hey gang,

Now if I could only trim down my time to your time for the same distance! BTW, did you realize that this is one of the longest lasting current threads on MFP?:drinker: :drinker:

You can definitely trim your time down. Best advice is to do a little less walking and more jogging each time until you're running the entire distance. You'll adapt to it and be faster.

Pretty impressive about the thread length! It's interesting to see how my exercise has changed over the years. I've gotten a lot more active!:drinker: :drinker: :bigsmile:
