    Cold will not be anywhere near Houston for at least 6 months. :) Was a hot day, so was kind of nice to get soaked off and on. They didn't ice the water or anything, so it was just standard temps. Local firemen hosed us off afterwards and that water was a little cold.

    Managed a nice workout this morning but came home with my hip killing me again. I'm going to try taking two days off in a row and see how I feel after that. I really hate being injured..............it pisses me off........

    Exercise: 15 min calisthenics warmup including 2X 10 standard pushups, 2X 10 situps w/10 lb ball, 2X 20 crunch twists w/10 lb ball, 2 X 12 each side hand plank w/rotation, 2X 15 swissball crunch w/25 lb plate, 60 sec reverse plank. 15 min bike @ 12 mph and 10 resistance. 50 min strength training including bench press 2 X 5 @ 65 lbs > 2X 5 @ 75 lbs > 1X 5 @ 80 lbs, 3X 8 single arm bent over row w/35 lbs, 3X 8 seated OHP w/20/20 DB's, 2X 20 red/green band row, 2X 15 each side red band twist, 2X 15 cable kneeling lat pull down w/30/30, 2X 12 red/green band chest press, 2X 15 red band deltoid fly, 40 steps OH walk w/20 lb KB, 40 step OH walk w/25 lb KB.

    Happy Sunday!!

    Cardio: 10 mile run. first 4 miles at HM pace, last 6 miles at recovery pace ( aka dragging my *kitten* cause it was hot/muggy). Always amazed at how much the higher temps drag down my energy. Glad I pushed threw it.


    Food: on target!

    @Luluinca: Hope your hip heals up. Can't imagine how much that sucks right now. Definitely give it some rest.

    I like myself unconditionally!

    Happy Monday! This past weekend was my last at LifestyleRx. It's been fun there, but I've already began to apply to other facilities in the area. Shouldn't take long, but I'm going take advantage of the time off by doing more home projects

    Cardio: run/jog 2 miles (300 calories)

    Strength: quads- leg press, squat, leg extension 12,10,8,6 x 4

    Assessment: No parties this weekend, so I was pretty good.

    I'm forcing myself to take two rest days in a row.......although tomorrow I'm going to our twin nephew's college graduation in the morning so I imagine I'll be walking pretty far. My hip feels much better today and I'm hoping by the time I see my trainer on Wed, he'll help me figure out what I can work on while it's still healing. I guess arms, but I can't do that everyday. I can swim though...... B)

    Food both days will be under or close to 1600, I feel like such a bum when I don't work out. LOL

    Have a great week and I'll check back in on Wed.

    Rest is good. Remember that's when you get stronger.

    @ Niner.............good luck on the applications.

    I had a good session with my trainer. He really got to the bottom of my hip injury and determined it's muscular and not skeletal...............good news. It's gotten a little better but the hip flexor is still slightly swollen so I'm icing it and discontinuing any stretching or painful use of my hip for another week at least. Which means my arms are going to be so strong.................LOL I"ll be swimming, doing some calisthenics, walking and working core and arms until it's really healed. We're guessing two weeks or so.

    Exercise: 10 min calisthenics warmup including pushups, situps, crunches. 50 min strength training w/Brent including 4X 10 cable row w/30/30, 4X 10 rev deltoid cable w/7.5/7.5, 4X 10 cable I fly w/12/12, 4X 10 cable chest press w/20/20, 1X 10 single arm press w/20 lbs>1X8 w/ 25 lbs> 1X 6 w/30 lbs.

    Food: Right around 1700 today with good macros......I can always feel when I'm getting ready to lose again and that's the way I feel right now. It's kind of weird actually...... B)

    Happy Hump Day................

    Cardio: Walked for about 2.85 miles in 70 minutes on the treadmill.... Burned 225 calories.

    Strength: Squats: 5x5x125; Overhead press: 5x5x75; Deadlift: 1x5x165; hip abductors: 3x8x145; hip adductors: 3x8x145.

    Assessment: I stayed within maintenance calories [but I still have 100 lbs to lose]. I need to increase my water intake, but we have a bacteria scare here now, so I need to buy some water. I still feel drained. I've been eating at or above maintenance, but I still feel so out of it. I don't know if it's because I just started lifting or what. I will try to stick with this SL 5x5 program.

    @ Niner..............sorry about the loss to your MIL...........cancer is really awful.... :'(

    I couldn't get in the pool today because it was too crowded so I hopped on the treadmill for 15 minutes instead. I'm not very fond of the treadmill but I did it. Also used the stair master during my circuit training. Not a ton of cardio but enough I think. Hip feels pretty good afterwards but my arms are sore from yesterday, and then I worked them a little this morning because I needed to put a little more time in while I was there. Tomorrow is a rest day.

    Exercise: 30 min circuit training including 3X8 extended inch worms, 3X 8 standard pushups, 3X 10 situps w/12 lb ball, 3X 20 crunch twists w/12 lb ball, 60 sec forearm plank, 60 sec basic plank, 60 sec reverse plank, 3X 10 renegade rows w/20 lbs, 2X 3 min stairmaster level 5. 15 min treadmill 3.5 mph/10% incline. 15 min strength training including 3X 10 lat pulldowns w/60 lbs, 3X 10 underhand pulldowns w/60 lbs, 3X 10 tricep extensions w/40 lbs, 3X 10 tricep curls w/40 lbs.

    Food: About 1725 so I should be good. Macros are good but a little heavy on the fat......yummmm

    Thanks everyone for the condolences. He was a good guy. I wasn't as close to him as my MIL and FIL, but he treated my family well every time we went and visited my MIL.
