Swim 800 laps: 708/800
Yesterday’s swim was hard. I think my body is telling me to rest. I just have to get through today and I will be taking 2 days off to go to Niagara Falls. I think I will make my lap goal if nothing stops me from getting in the pool on Saturday. Now I have to pick a fitness goal for March. Any ideas? Today I am swimming laps, doing cardio, arms and abs.5 -

Yes and I am sore from lifting! Of course I expect the scale to soar up! Scale shenanigans always happen when I lift.4 -

No exercise
02/23
50 min. Strength training moderate
13 min. Stationary bike 1.2 mi
Developed a leg cramp that wasn’t easing up so called it a day. Am working on squat form while adding sets. I am not built to squat as there is a lot more of me from the waist down. Deadlifts are easier. Thinking of changing to a zero drop shoe to see if that improves stability.
Next Tuesday am doing a body composition scan to see if at healthy levels. Last year, despite having a high percentage of functional muscle and a normal bmi still had an obese body fat percentage. Hoping to have a normal bodyfat level this time because getting tired of calorie deficit.6 -
It’s great you can go to the gym again. What do you do there besides spin class?
@lindamtuck2018 I go to spin and body pump (weight lifting with music) typically. I'd like to add some heavier weight lifting.

Happy hump day everyone.
Check in for 2/23:
Steps - 6756 plus 20 minutes bike moderate.
Calories - 1878
Exercise - gym this afternoon. 13 machines - 10 in a circuit and 20 minutes bike. The circuit beat me up pretty well. I suffered on the bike because of it.
Went grocery shopping in the morning. 4 stores.

@Beautyofdreams Your strength work is incredible. I'm really interested in the body composition scan that you are doing. How do you get that done?2 -
Happy Thursday, Downsizers! Here's my check-in:

Calories: 1,173
Exercise: 60 minutes elliptical and a 15-minute stretching class
Steps: 12,832
I hope you all have a great day!!7 -
@Beautyofdreams
I am impressed. I don’t think I ever tried a deadlift in my life. I have always been intrigued by a body composition scan. Let us know how you make out.
@Jpedno
Years ago I did the Les Mills Body Pump classes at a gym I used to go to. I wonder if it is the same as you are doing.
@rwood566
Awesome gym session! I would go crazy grocery shopping at 4 different stores. I go to one store and I am in and out as fast as I can. We can price match at our grocery store so I get the sales from all the major stores.
@Bluetail6
Enjoy your vacation!
@peng123
Back to killing those workouts! I am glad physio helped your knees.2 -

Weighing in early as I have no access to a scale tomorrow. Not much of a loss this week but I finished the month with an overall loss. I won’t be logging my food for today and tomorrow. I am going to be mindful of what I eat in the restaurants (only 3 or 4 meals). I am excited to go to Niagara Falls in winter as it is beautiful. I am going to the casino so wish me luck. 🍀5 -
