    Cardio: none

    Strength: Legs & Abs - Front Squats 8x8, DB Deadlift 4x20, Leg Curl & Extension Circuit 4x15, Sitting & Standing Toe Raises 3x28, 50 Leg Raises, & 50 Crunches

    Assessment: Pretty sore throughout the day from the workout and Monday's cardio, but should be all good in the long-run. Stuck with the planned meals and cardio goals for the day so my energy levels have been stable. Hitting my protein goals of approx. 1g of protein per lb. Still playing around with the the fat and carb goals. Lots of sodium but nearly a gallon of water throughout the day to help flush that out.

    may need to stretch before bed.

    Hey all! Everyone looks like they are doing great! It's motivating me. :D

    Cardio: 1000m row for warm up. 20 min HIITs on stepper, 20 min walking 3.5mph 10% grade. 400+ calories

    Strength: Overhead press 45-70lbs 4x10, assisted pull up 3x10 (suck at this), single arm overhead cable press 35-40lbs 4x10, cable row 80-100lbs 3x12, low lateral cable side pull 15lb 3x8, single arm cable lat pull down 40lbs 3x15, delt raises front, side, behind 7.5lbs 3x30, back extension 3x20


    Assessment:     I love when a week is going good. It make me feel excited to be on a roll, which keeps me rolling! However, a cup of hot chocolate snuck in before bed last night after I was done logging. I am really hoping to keep upping the weight by gaining strength. Hoping to report higher numbers in the next couple of weeks. Ultimate goal is to lose 7-10% body fat though.

    Cardio: went for a jog in the rain, for aprox 35min (wasn't keeping track of distance and time...just went running without a goal)

    Strength: a quick 7min workout before dinner (push ups, crunch, leg lift, plank, mountain climber, lunge, high knee running)

    Assessment: doing well diet wise, water is excellent, need to work on eating more protein.

    Cardio: none, may try to do some tomorrow

    Strength: Chest and Back - Barbell Bench & DB T-Rows 5x12, Barbell Incline Bench & Chin-Ups 5x12, DB Pullovers & Cable Crossover 5x12. Was suppose to hit up the abs but ran out of time.

    Assessment: Stretching last night and this morning def. help with the soreness from yesterday.
    Rearranged my planned meals for the day to fit in Chick-fil-a catered breakfast. I knew it was coming so I planned to only have the chicken bagel in order to stay on track. Will power was strong...this time.
    Up the calories and protein a lil since I got kickball to night, which I doubt burns that many calories but good to be outside moving.
    Sodium is still high but staying consistent on nearly a gallon of water throughout a day

    May not post tomorrow, so everyone have a great weekend

    Good job all of you. Consistency is how people succeed. The more consistent one is, the easier it is to keep up the lifestyle.

    Cardio:
    1) Walked 75 minutes on treadmill, jogged 30 minutes on treadmill. Burned 713 calories. 2) Pedaled for 65 minutes on the elliptical, burned 790 calories.

    Strength: I did no strength exercises today. I am planning on returning to the gym to do day 2 of StrongLifts 5x5, but I'm really not feeling it right now. I will maybe try to do some push-ups, crunches, and squats later.

    Assessment: I did OK on my food and water. I am trying to increase my protein intake because I'm worried about losing muscle. I feel like I could do more cardio, but my feet disagree with me.

    Nice on the leg press. So many females think that 100lbs is too heavy.

    Good evening all!
    Was out for the weekend. Saturday was rest day, Sunday attended a boot camp in the AM.
    But today...

    Cardio: Walk 5 min warm up, Stairmaster 10 min hitting every other step, walking 15% incline @ 3mph 20 min 300+ calories

    Strength: Squats 5x10 @ 95-135lbs (sore knee from boot camp made these hard). Stationary lunges @ 60lbs, leg extensions @ 30lbs, leg curl @ 35lbs - all single leg done 3x28 per leg

    Assessment: Damn football, martinis and popcorn messed with my macros this weekend. Or was that my fault? :p Hitting my protein and calorie goal today is making me feel better though. Feels like it will be a good week.

    And, thanks @ninerbuff !! That's a pr for me! Now I need to work on the squats.
