"TLFC" exercise and accountability support!

I decided to give myself a gym break but got the dog out for a quick walk on Monday. We're working very hard here at work getting back orders out that we've been holding since Christmas so I'm doing that instead of gymming it. Taking off today for a quick overnight beach trip to treat ourselves and then back to the gym on Friday.

I lowered my calories a bit this week since I'm virtually not working out at all. Sometimes it just feels good to take a break.

Happy Hump Day!!!!

Chair yoga = cardio? Well anyway, I did 40 minutes of chair yoga yesterday. Didn't get my steps in, for various nonsense reasons. No excuses. Wasn't hungry enough to get to 1000 calories. Today's a new day!

So far today, I've gone for a 1.5 mile walk and worked up an appetite. Going to make something yummy for breakfast, then go to the market to restock the fridge and freezer.

Happy almost Friday!

Cardio: step class.

Hello, this is my first post here. Need some accountability to keep going
I am a 36 yo F, currently working through 'Strong' and C25k simultaneously.

Strength
Today I did Phase 1, Stage 3, Workout A, #5
Valislide push aways - 2x12 - did with paper plates, not sure if it's the same but it's hard!
Single arm deadlifts - 3x8 @47.5 lbs
DB bench press - 2x8@20 in each arm, 1x6@25
Rear foot elevated split squat - 3x8@20 each leg, having trouble with balance when try to go higher on weight here
Lat pull downs - using exercise bands, don't have a good idea of the weight

Cardio
10 min HIIT on treadmill, 60s@6.2 mph/1.5 incline, then HR recovery walking@3.0 mph/1.5 incline, supposed to be to 119. HR comes back down nicely after first rep in about 2 minutes, have trouble getting it back down after the second rep, so usually throw in the third rep around 7 or 7.5 min even though HR is still in 130s. Not sure if that's what I'm supposed to do or not.

Overall, fitbit says I burned 207 calories

Assessment: Had corned beef and cabbage last night. Underestimated how many calories were in parsnips. Tonight is our take-out night, have to be careful!

Welcome to the group @AigreDoux!

Cardio: Got in a 55 min walk/run with the dog this morning in the fog! Will probably repeat that tomorrow and Monday but get to the gym on Sunday for some strength training and circuits.

Assessment: I've actually lost about 5 lbs in the last few weeks but I think it's just mostly water weight as I haven't been logging and naturally eat less carbs when I don't log. My diet has just been off lately. I wouldn't mind if it sticks but I doubt it will.....lol

Next week is my last week of therapy and I have an ortho appt Tues so we'll see what doc says. Still really fighting pain with certain movements but my therapist says it's much improved. I hope he's right!

Have a great weekend everyone!
