Rex's daily fitness journal - warning: out of shape shirtless dude pics

Found some quotes that I like from years ago.

Week 4 Day 5 weigh-in: 209.8lbs.

@MaggieGirl135 - Thanks! Hope your workouts are going well.

Week 4 Day 5: Back was not feeling great and I was hunched over most of the morning. Decided to give it one more day of recovery before getting back on the horse. No workout today. Back tomorrow.

Week 4 Day 6: Back was still not feeling great and decided to give it one more day of recovery before getting back to the workout. Back tomorrow (I hope).

Week 4 Day 6 weigh-in: 209.6lbs.

@dralicephd Thank you for your cheers. It really helps me get it in gear with your good vibes.

Week 4 Day 7: Felt good going into my run after a lot of rest. Ankles and calves were stiff briefly and had to relax until the stiffness went away. Run was easy as I was cautious about making my back worse and dialed down the pace a little. Ran 3.93 miles in 67 minutes. Lat pull downs 2x10 @190lbs, 4x8 @200lbs. Felt strong on the pulls and felt I was killing it again today.

Week 5 Day 1 morning weigh-in: 209.6 lbs.

Week 5 Day 2 morning weigh-in: 207.0 lbs.

First 30 day recap:
Ran 82.72 miles over 23 training sessions.
Did 12 days of lat pulldowns and 11 days of barbell shoulder press.
Weight dropped 10.8 lbs over 30 days.
Kept largely within caloric parameters except for 6/1/22 when I had a huge steak dinner. Today I walked an extra 2.2 miles for an errand where I elected to walk instead of drive. It was hot today - if I had to do it over again I would drive. Not sure if the comparison pictures show much difference, but I sure feel much better. Looking to move onward with the plan after a few setbacks that allowed me to recover properly.

Week 5 Day 3: Spent all day officiating an athletic meet for my children. After being on my feet all day I decided to skip tonight's workout. Back tomorrow.

Week 5 Day 4: Felt well-rested and was not stiff during my run. Ran gingerly because I was nervous about aggravating my back but the run was easy today although I pushed the pace a little. I actually wanted to run faster but reined it in to keep at my planned pace. Don't want to burn out hot and ruin the rest of the week's workouts. Passed the 4 mile mark again today. 4.05 miles in 67 minutes. Cumulative run since 5/27/22 (32 days): 86.77 miles. Barbell shoulder press 4x5 @115lbs, 2x4 @125lbs.

A new pair of Cumulus 24 daily trainers.

Week 5 Day 6 morning weigh-in: 206.8 lbs.

Thanks for your support @Fit_Happens_2021.

Week 5 Day 5: Went a little hard yesterday and felt stiff as a board all day. Will give my body some more rest and recovery and will pick it up again tomorrow.

Week 5 Day 7: Got a little over my skis on Tuesday and spent yesterday walking like a mummy. Today was better but felt tentative going into my run. Ran 4.31 miles in 67 minutes. Cumulative run since 5/27/22 (35 days): 95.27 miles. Barbell shoulder press 2x5 @115lbs, 2x5 @125lbs, 2x4 @135lbs.
