    Congrats to your Giants, niner!

    Forum update...definitely needs some work. Figured out how to bookmark this thread, at least. They need to fix the size/resolution/font. Way too narrow on a desktop monitor.

    Wednesday:

    Worked late, so no exercise. Argh.

    Food: a little over.

    There's a "star" near the top of the page on the right. That should bookmark it for you.

    Hi again! I reached my goal weight in August and suddenly realized what I thought was a good goal weight (and it was, for needing to lose 75lbs) is 15-20lbs off from what I really want for the new fitness level in my life. I hope this forum is a new tool for me to play with to reach my new goal.

    Here's today. And it hurt. In a good way. :p

    Strength - Barbell Squats, 4 sets of 12 reps @ 95-155lbs, 5 super sets of walking lunges, 20 each leg w/leg press @ 180-270lbs(PR!), 5 super super set of barbell sumo squats @ 60lbs, body weight pulse squat 30 rep, curtsy lunges 10 each leg, stiff leg dead lift @ 110lbs.

    Cardio - 20 min on Stairmaster switching between minutes for 10 min at level 6, 10 minutes at level 8 doing double steps

    Nutrition - Hit over 200g on the proteins again :D and fair on carbs. Coulda left the mayo out of the tuna, but, eh.

    I wish I knew about this forum before. The last couple of week or more, have been bad with the nutrition. I could have used a finger wag to get me on my way earlier.

    Night everyone!

    Cardio - none

    Strength - none, Yay for rest day!

    Assessment - none -Ha! It is too early, but probably won't be around the rest of the day to say. However, I did have an fairly good week overall. Best week in a long time, actually. So I'll keep it up.

    Hope everyone's weekend is going well.

    Happy Monday!

    Cardio: Walked laps between sets.

    Strength: Bench Volume day (969 calories). Squats, Bench Press, Deadlifts, Weighted Dips, Pull-ups. Logged at: http://www.jefit.com/members/user-logs/log/?xid=1655018&dd=2014-10-13

    Assessment: Behaved this weekend in the nutrition area. The scale rewarded me yesterday with 170 lbs. I haven't seen a number like that since April 2014. Not sure how long this cut will continue. The scale claims that I am 23.7% body fat. Not sure I believe it, that seems high.

    My scale is wacked too. I am staying away from the scale and trying to go more on what I look like, so it has been a bit since I was on it so that I could give you an example, but I know it was way off for BF%, although weight seemed fairly accurate. Good job on the 170 though! Especially after a weekend. :)

    Hi! I'd like to join in on the fun.

    Cardio: 30 minute intervals on stationary bike

    Strength: Back and triceps. Lat Pull, Face Pull, Cable pullover, Y Raise, Tricep kickbacks, Cable Diagonal Raise, Chin-ups. Trunk: Leg raises from bench, planks

    Assessment: Really working on my calories right now. Last week I upped them probably too quickly to maintenance (though MFP estimates maintenance lower than some sites suggest my TDEE to be). Today I ate pasta and veggies with ground turkey for dinner and felt really proud about it. Not guilty, because I truly needed it. I also ate a whole pint of chocolate frozen yogurt and am proud of that too.

    Every now and then I would use my home stairs for cardio. Helps for me that I can see the TV from them.

    Morning!

    I guess I need to report for previous day because I am online in the morning and work out in afterrnoon/evening. Throws me off. Well, here's yesterday:

    Cardio - Jump rope 3min, HIITS on stepper and treadmill 20 min each, elliptical 20 min

    Strength - Barbell press 5x8-10 @ 45-75lbs, incline dumb bell press 3x8 @ 60lbs, cable fly 4x10 @ 35-40lbs, fly machine 3x10 @ 100lbs, press machine 3x10 @ 55lbs.
    3 Supersets of mountain climbers 1 min, knee to elbow plank x20, opposite toe touches lying on bosu x20

    Assesment - Pretty good. Hit the protein goal and calories under control, which was better that the weekend or Monday with a cake in the house (had said cake removed).

    The good day yesterday has me encouraged about today. Heck, the rest of the week!

    I used to use the stairs before I took up running. Still do them on occasion, if I want some type of "hill" work when i can't run outside. Can't see my TV, though. :'(

    I did Jim Stoppani's Shortcut to Shred (bodybuilder.com) back in the summer. The program has you perform plyo's for one minute in between sets. He gives you a fairly good list of options. Makes a workout anything but boring and gets pretty brutal, but the results were great. Finally saw abs between the workout and meal plan. Take a peek a that for rest period cardio ideas.
