so weigh in day

I'm down 3 pounds this week which is awesome I haven't had that large of a loss in a week in a while. 25 pounds till christmas leaves 19.something now yay!

it's 530 and I'm leaving for a walk ps the stars are still out...I can't believe I got out of bed lol.

how is everyone doing? this thread was exactly what I needed!

hope everyone has a great day!

Congratulations that's a great loss!

Workout:

10min eliptical (switching between level 1-3 every minute)

10min treadmill (switching between fast walking and jogging every minute, on nr 4 incline)

7min rowing.

15x3 abdominal crunches
15x3 p/side side abdominal crunches
15x3 reverse crunches
3x45sec planks.

Nutrition - err, well I have no accurate info. Because I quick added some calories. Fine. It was chocolate and ice cream. Blah. But at least I stayed in my cal limit.

My right calf hurts today. On Friday last week I cut my knee open accidentally. Now everytime that knee bends or straightens, the skin pulls and it's sore. I think I've been subconsciously taking some of that knee's work on my other leg. So I think my workouts have been doing a number on my healthy leg.

Also. Since starting my bulk program on Monday, I've been taking 5 teaspoons of Glucose Powder in my coffee pre-workout. Which is about 24g of carbs. Or 22, can't remember. And every day since, everytime I get home, I am EXHAUSTED.

Note that, I work out in the mornings, first thing after waking up, getting dressed ect. It's the first thing I do for the day. And everyday since Monday, I've been so tired after, that I have to take a nap when I get home. Because I just want to fall asleep.

I suppose it's a good sign, meaning that I burn off most of the glucose, but jeez it sucks currently. I suppose my body is still getting used to it.

Well I did upper body today as a workout. The usuals, tricep dips, seated rows, bicep curls, all the machines ect. And also some ab work.

Nutrition was pretty good. Stayed (mostly) within my limits, had a small amount of unplanned peanut butter, but walked it off.

I've been slacking with my sodium intake. I'm going to up it back to 3000mg a day and monitor it again. When I started keto, sodium seemed to decrease my cravings a lot. Hopefully it works just as well this time around.

I like the idea of another challenge, taking us into the holiday season. My ultimate goal is to be below 200 for the Christmas season, and maintain there for the holidays. In the past I have gained around 10 pounds every December binging on all that is yummy and plentiful! I hope to be more mindful this year of what I'm putting in my mouth.

My weight this a.m. is 205.8 lbs

Has anyone tried an assault bike at their gym? Holy *kitten* kicker!! So far I'm up to 5 intervals on it, the most anyone has gotten to so far. Some people even barfed afterwards. I think its common in cross fit gyms, but new to the small gym that I go to for personal training.
