Thursday #138 - food was right on target...no wine tonight <sad tiffy>...and lots and lots of exercise thanks to Hogwarts challenges...walking, plus beast bulk back, plus 2 darebee exercises which were both awesome and challenging...almost 3 hours of workouts...yippee!!!

M-Th HP=921

Saturday #140 - headed to the beach for lots of manual labor, food was good, exercise was none other than mudding and taping the room.

Sunday #141 - finished up the work (mudding, taping, and some painting), then headed home, food was actually good because I only had a few of the leftovers from the night before for lunch, then chili at the superbowl party...I didn't log anything, but I didn't make the chili, so it wouldn't have been more than guessing anyway.

Wednesday #144 - beast chest to kick off the morning, skipped the last 10 minutes because my shoulders were giving out...walking...food mostly on point...I wanted to be like 500 calories under goal today, but I ended up getting hungry and only being slightly under goal...then finished beast shoulders in the evening, plus did beast legs...now I'm all caught up on the strength training I missed over the weekend, just missing a bit of cardio and that's not as important to me this month...plus, my arms are looking super buff...so all the weights are paying off and I'm hoping to look super sexy this summer!!!

Stats so far:

Hogwarts:
3 fruit/veg per day - 2 days
1 serving of green - spinach/kale salad

Zombies:
Cardio (walk) 22/15
Combat (woodchop) 100/100
Agility (dotdrill) 120/120
Food - all
Water - all

Saturday #147 - Crazy busy day...got in some walking during ballet, then dashed over to my parents for dad's birthday party...then off to bowling with friends...

Sunday #148 - busy but not quite as crazy...actually got to sleep in a bit...then off to D&D fully loaded with snacks and sweets...then Beast Arms and Beast Shoulders...I'm all caught up on my strength workouts again!!!

I didn't really track my food over the weekend, but Saturday I only ate at the party (chicken and salad) with just a tiny bowl of chili after bowling...then Sunday I only at at D&D (cheese dip and one cookie)...so I'm confident that my calories are under even though I didn't actually log anything.

Monday #149 - Food was totally naughty...they didn't have the sashimi I wanted, so I ended up with a phily roll, which was delicious, then I had carrot cake when I got home...I haven't even keyed it yet to see where the calories were...got extra walking in, so that's good, but no weights and I didn't do abs because I was crazy tired last night...today my throat is scratchy off and on, so hope I'm not getting sick!!!

Tuesday #150 - Totally a planned out day...got walking done, weights done, had an awesome time at happy hour and played Jenga plus made a new friend...and my husband came, so it was even like a date night!!! Awesomesauce!!!

Thursday #152 - exercise was amazing, lots of walking, plus beast legs and beast back...totally made up for missing weights on valentine's day...also, I just wasn't very hungry, so I ended the day over 1,000 calories under goal...which will offset the almost 900 calories I was over on valentine's day, so that is a nice balance to achieve...now I just need to keep today on target and stay on target over the weekend...I'm planning to hit the beach house for some sanding and mudding on the room, and usually it's easy for me to stay under when I'm busy, so here's hoping for a good weekend...on the down side, that will probably mean I miss workouts, which sucks for making them up, but if I'm really good and do them tonight, plus get up early to do weights before hitting the road, plus get home Sunday in time to do cardio, then maybe, just maybe, I won't have to get any extra workout days in next week...<sigh>...staying on the path is not easy.

I have literally been working out out half my life. I started when I was 21, I'm now 42. I don't know why this is a shocking revelation for me, or maybe this is just my version of a mid-life crisis. Was it really worth it? Do I really want to keep doing this? That means I will soon be working out MORE than half my life? What the heck? Is there ever a point where enough working out is enough and I can be done? Is there ever a point where there aren't more goals to achieve? Could I even stop if I wanted? It's as much habit as anything now, what would I do with my time if I wasn't working out? Do I ever really want to lose the mobility that I have gained and preserved?

I bet I can do more today at 42 than the average 21 year old. For right now, I guess that's enough. I still want to be stronger. I haven't gotten to where I can curl 35# per arm yet. That's still a goal. I'm still on this journey.

Friday #153 - food was good and workouts were done...yay me...

Saturday #154 - walking, plus good food, plus driving to the beach and lots of upper body work sanding the room...

Sunday #155 - lots of work on the house, plus driving home and a nice healthy dinner...minimal workouts...

Wednesday #158 - It was a totally hungry day, which was super annoying because it was an eat less day...got my walking done...had a huge salad for lunch...pizza for dinner with friends...plus haircuts, so no evening weights...we didn't get home until 11pm, and then I was too hungry to sleep, so I had a yogurt and some trail mix and logged them under today...<sigh>...totally need to reign in the hungry monster!!!

Thursday #159 - eat more day, which was nice, and I totally did all morning and at lunch...then I cut it off and reigned it in...no snacking between lunch and dinner...took the girl to ballet and it was raining so I couldn't walk, but I also didn't go have a beer or any food at the brewery...got home about 9 pm and had dinner...after dinner I showered and went to bed...so, now I'm 2 strength workouts behind, but I feel better rested and the appetite seems to be sated for the moment!!!

And the very best part is that tonight I don't have to go anywhere or do anything away from home...so it's actually possible that I could get my workouts caught up...though 3 in one day might be a bit much...could I do legs, back, and arms...in theory, yes, they are not shared muscle groups...in reality, we will see how I feel...I think I'll try back and arms first because I can do legs with body weight or a single pair of dumbells fairly easily at the beach this weekend as a catch up while the others would require me to lug multiple pairs of weights around.

Friday #160 - on target for food, no exercise except walking.

Saturday #161 - didn't track food, but didn't have time to eat much with the taxi business and heading to the beach, lunch at Freddy's, I was good and did NOT have a shake or fries, chicken alfredo for dinner...I'm an amazing cook, if I do say so myself!

Sunday #162 - didn't track food, but didn't have time to eat much, Jersey Mike's for lunch, chicken cordon bleu for dinner...no exercise except working on the room and several hours of yard work.
