Above is part of a quote I read on another thread. I wasn't aware of this fact, whether it is true or not, and how long it has been in effect.

The most important thing, to me, is for you to know if you get a FR from me, I never take a declined FR personally. I'm more active on my wall. I am getting more active here as well. It is the "interwebs" after all😁!!

Monday's... Erg!

Got my phone, left it right here by the home computer. 😋

So right to business. For the last month or 2 I noticed some discomfort in my outer left elbow. I believe this is referred to as Golfers Elbow. (tennis elbow would be the inside part of the elbow closer to the body). It makes it painful to pick things up and raise my arm laterally. Even light things. It usually went back to normal in a day or 2 and always in time for my next bicep workout. UNTIL TODAY!

I know what the culprit is, or at least the major culprit. It's Hammer curls. I probably should have skipped them today, but I didn't and boy did it hurt (it even made a noise and something moved around in there.. DOH!). Thankfully though, Preacher curls and Ez bar curls don't hurt and in fact I moved up and still got every single darn rep. SO both will move up again. (seems nutty almost). 💪

Anyway, no more hammer curls for the foreseeable future... instead, I'll have to sub in Concentration curls. There may be some other movement that aggravate it, like heavy DB rows and anything that I have to GRIP really hard. But for now, we will just monitor and stay away from Hammer Curls. 😜

And in the meantime, I'll start interesting to see if there is anything I can wear on my arm or elbow to help alleviate "Golfers Elbow". I have a feeling tomorrow isn't going to be pretty where my elbow is concerned. 😆

So other than painful hammer curls, it was a great workout...

On the topic of food today.... I was a sore MOFO today, yesterday... And I can still feel my quads from Saturday's workout and my knees aren't feeling too peachy (Definitely got old man syndrome. lol). So, I thought it was important that I stuff as much food into me, and particularly Protein in an effort to help my body get over it and rebuild. 2400 calories of food sure seems like a lot. But a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do? 😎😁

Okay... I'm done. Whew!

Good night everyone... We got just enough time to catch an episode of Ted Lasso! PEACE! 🥰🤗😁

Under calories and hit my minimum protein level. I have a bit of a migraine and it’s 106*F (41.1*C) at 6pm, so, I will not be hitting my steps today. Water is close and I will be sure to get my 80oz.

Plan for tomorrow:
B: leftover half of egg white omelette
L: grilled chicken or other protein in cafeteria & veggie
D : shrimp fra diavolo
Water: 80oz
Steps: 5K

@Megan_smartiepants1970 - keep me out of the challenge. I need to get tracking/ calories under control before I commit to that

I weigh mine dry but I am usually cooking for myself. My family does not eat what I eat. One thought, weigh one serving dry, cook it, drain it and then wait to see what it weighs after cooking one serving. Let’s us know the difference because now, I am curious.

I’m jealous of your tomatoes. I used to make my own tomato sauce and salsa from my garden all the time but I no longer have a garden 😞

I read this and then realised I forgot to weigh it cooked before I put it in the sauce and ate it, oops! I'll try remember next time I have pasta like that.

Do you have any outside space? If you do, you could get some determinate tomatoes, they seem not to grow massive. Could do some stuff indoors I had chilli plant in kitchen for months.. Granted I had to take it outside as wasn't getting as far as others, but still remained alive before doing so 🙈

Steps 18,857

Got a 3.25 mile walk in with a friend. Pretty quiet day and tracked all food. Feeling so gross lately and need to get it back under control

Daily Check-in For Monday 9/13:

Calories: Under
Water: 90+ Oz
IF 16/8: Fasted 16 hours
Exercise: 2 Mile Run
Sleep: 5.5 Hours (Sunday night)

Overall good day yesterday, but the scale is up from last week's weigh-in. There is really no reason for a weight-gain. I had 2 days where my calories were "over" the range where I try to stay, but were still at a deficit for losing weight. A little frustrating, but all is good, the scale will drop when the scale will drop.
