@simoneshofner Wow! Kudos to you for all your hard work! 👏👏👏

@mkksemail Wow! What great results! Staying off statins is a big win in my books. Isn't is amazing how we can chart our own destiny just by diet choice. Congratulations on such wonderful progress!

No crust pizza. It is a terrible food choice, regardless of nutritional goals. Just the amount of processed poisons in one slice alone will completely wreck any of your hard work with eating healthy during the week, not to mention the 300 plus empty calories per slice. If trying to maintain a healthy lifestyle, with so…

At one point I upped my sets during HIIT strength workouts to three from two in the hope of achieving quicker results. I too experienced fatigue and soreness, and in a strength test after about 2 weeks of the routine change, I found that I actually was losing ground. I returned to my two set routine, and within another two…

Went for a massage tonight, it was well overdue, I think I’m going to go back next week again.

My celebration is next month!

@walkintofit Congrats on the scale going down. Happy Birthday and Happy Mother's Day as well.

Well it's the end of the week and my weight has now stayed within my goal weight of 185 for over a month now and today I was at 183.9. My morning workout was a struggle, but I got through it. I have been using lighter lower body weight all week, and plan to up the weight starting Monday. Tomorrow I'm hoping to get a slower…

@77tes Hang in there Tess, one day at a time, one hour at a time, one minute at a time!

@mkksemail Wow, it sounds like you are in good hands with your PT. I too have been plagued with intermittent plantar fasciitis and often get frustrated with the length of time it takes to properly rehab. Good luck with your rehab!

First day on the bike since my injury yesterday, I took a leisurely 10 mile loop on our local trails. My quad was a little stiff and sore this morning, but no pain. Second day at the gym this morning post injury, I bumped my weight up a bit, the workout went well, hope to be back to baseline by the end of next week.

@77tes Dark chocolate eaten in moderation is a great snack! I am still a bit tentative on making changes to my diet plan, but now that I have been able to maintain my weight over the past month, I may try to add in some comfort foods. One of the issues I’ve had in the past is to stop myself from overeating treats when they…

@mkksemail Ouch, looks sore, I hope heal up quickly. I went to the gym today for the first time in a week and worked my upper body, and stretching and light weights on my lower body. It went well, I'm going to slowly up the weight during the next two weeks, and hope to be back to baseline after that. As I age, I find it…

@mkksemail Yes, my wife is always reminding me that I'm not a kid anymore, but I don't want to act my age either, lol! It was the same with me, everybody was concerned about my superficial abrasions, but it was the muscle pulls that were the real issue. I hope you heal up soon!

Last Saturday, playing Kickball, of all things, I wiped out pulled muscles in both my left quad and right hamstring. I bruised up and I couldn't hardly walk for a couple of days and have been off the bike all week. I started with light stretching over the past few days, and hope to do some modest spinning this coming week…

@mkksemail What a coincidence, I did the same thing last Saturday playing Kickball, of all things. Scrapped and scared up, but worse, pulled a muscle in both my left quad and right hamstring. I bruised up and I couldn't hardly walk for a couple of days and have been off the bike all week. I started with light stretching…

@yirara @Lietchi Thanks for the feedback, like so many of these digital estimations, it all depends on how the data is aquired and the algorithms used. I will use it as a way to trend progress, but not rely on the actual numbers produced.

Question for Garmin Connect users. I have been tracking my V02 max through the Garmin app and am running at 42 ml/kg/min. Does anyone know how accurate the Garmin app is is in regards to V02 Max? There doesn't seem to be any difference between the cycling V02 max and overall V02 max either. BTW, I have been doing HIIT on…

@mkksemail Ha! Ha! I fart walk often, I didn't know it was a thing!

Yep, I agree, move on

I had a standing desk when I was working out of an office and loved it. I have thought about buying one for my home office, but just haven't pulled the trigger on it.

@mkksemail Although I had COVID in 2021, I was referring to my world prior to the COVID pandemic. When COVID hit, our department began working remotely from home, which changed my routine, and I slowly, but insidiously began to gain weight, eventually peaking at 218 lbs last September. Working out of the house, I started…

Back into my normal routine after the Easter break. While I did eat a few rather unhealthy meals with family, including two slices of strawberry/rhubarb pie with ice cream, I was able to stay within my calorie goals, and get a good workout in to help mitigate some of the damage. I had a great cycling HIIT hill training…

We are heading out to Corpus Cristi for a family Easter gathering, should be fun. I booked a hotel with a gym and hope to get a workout in while visiting, and spend a little time on the beach. Food wise it's always a challenge with so much food around, but my family is very understanding and respects my efforts, they lived…

Cool!

@walkintofit Their should be goat cheese at most grocery stores, I like the grated cheese as I can sprinkle it on things and get the taste without actually using too much. The Ezekiel bread is found in the frozen bread section, it is widely available in most areas that I am aware of. If not, another healthier option is…

@walkintofit I begin my fast on Friday evening (About 7:00pm), and only consume non sugar drinks throughout the Saturday, starting with ACV in the morning. While riding my bike I mix non-flavored Creatine and an Electrolyte supplement in 750ml of water, and just the electrolyte in a second 750ml bottle. I will usually…
