    Hey gang,

    I like myself unconditionally!

    Happy weekend! Got a client and kickbox class this morning. Later going to go get a new video camera since the last one we had is obsolete now. Ah to keep up with technology.

    Cardio: kickboxing- 60 min (500 calories)

    Strength: NONE

    Assessment: Well I did okay yesterday. Sodium was up, but always is since I eat Vietnamese every Friday.

    :laugh: It's an EXCELLENT finger strengthening exercise. Calorie burn is a bit low, though. :wink:

    Hey gang,

    I like myself unconditionally!

    Happy weekend! TKO at 10:00 this morning, but since today is the 1st of April, I'm starting my month off hard! Will be getting in an extra back workout since I feel it's still one of my lagging parts.
    New month, new aspirations, and dammit I'm ready to start cutting up for summer now, so here's to starting my 3 month cut cycle now!

    Cardio: NONE

    Strength:back- pulldowns, bent over rows, seated cable rows, pullovers. 12,10,8,6 increasing weight each set.

    Assessment: I'll be honest and say I ate like crap yesterday.

    Tennis with the kids yesterday. Not exactly a workout, but good quality family time.

    Today: total body strength training, "heavy" day.

    9 reps per set this week, two warmup sets and two working sets per exercise. Also a slight change in the routine - regular deadlifts instead of stiff-leg, and the bicep/tricep superset at the end (dropping the calf raises.)

    Deadlifts @ 185 lbs
    Bench Press @ 185
    Squats @ 165
    Barbell Rows @ 135
    Overhead Press @ 95
    Superset of bicep curls and tricep extensions @ 65 lbs (EZ bar)

    Plus: Ab Ripper X.

    I need to check my deadlift form as I got an exertion headache during the working sets. Coulda been diet as I hadn't had much to eat prior to working out today. Will pay close attention next time.

    Nice workout, spartacus!

    Sunday: Softball games. 2 games. I played catcher in 1.5. So, about 70-90 minutes of play for me. Not too much base running today (crappy hitting), but had a nice tag at home to deny a run.

    Food: too much junk, but still okay on calories.

    Breathing being off can do it too.

    Hey gang,

    I like myself unconditionally!

    Happy Monday! Alright pretty much start to the new month! I usually weigh in on Tuesdays on a cut cycle so I'll start tomorrow, but here is my starting weight as of yesterday:

    191.2lbs

    So my goal is 7.5lbs this month and following months to hit my goal.
    Have a couple of clients this morning and later on this evening another as well as TKO class. It's Easter vacation week for my DD, so she'll be home all week trying to help me out in the house and looking for ways to kill some time and not be bored.
    I'm ready to rock this though!

    Cardio:Arc trainer- 30 min (275 calories)

    Strength:quads- squats, leg press, leg extensions. 12,10,8,6 increasing weight each set.

    Assessment: I ate over yesterday by 1000 calories, but weight stayed pretty stable.

    Everyone here is killing it! Awesome to see. I don't have much to report. I kind of fell off the bandwagon all last week and ate whatever I wanted. But I got disgusted with myself again [whew, that didn't take long!] So I officially kicked today's goal in the *kitten* - I only ate 755 cals thanks to low-cal food options and ballroom class helped me shed off 148 cals! Now THIS is the way to get back on track. [And no, this isn't how every day looks, I do eat enough.]

    That is all.

    Did you win?

    We did. Both games; beat both teams by a lot. We're just a D team, but a good one in our league. Was fun.

    Monday: Was supposed to have batting practice. Rained out. Took it as a rest day so I could get some other errands done.

    Food: On target.

    Down for the count with a nasty nasty head cold. I can't focus on anything right now. Managed to make it through work. I can't sleep hardly and my chest feels so heavy, it's hard to breathe. However, a bunch of that mucus came out today which is a good sign that hopefully I'll be over it in the next couple days. Still, I walked to dog but today I don't even feel like getting out of this chair. MY head hurts so bad lol. I don't really have a desire to eat either, so at least my calories have been really low. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to get back in the gym, but right now it's just not happening.
