WED: 25 min. swim THURS: 5 min Helix; 35 min. exercise bike; 30 min strength and conditioning; 15 min stretches; 25 min. outdoor walks TODAY: rest @AnnPT77 that's good to hear about your experiences with PT. My elbow didn't bother me at all during my swim Wed. and seemed better yesterday, but I still need to call for an…

2 min Helix, 25 min walking outside, 30 min exercise bike, 22 min strength and conditioning: my left elbow hurts more than it did before I took the week of Thanksgiving off, so no lat raises. I probably need PT.

A 3.1 mile run on the treadmill today, 30 min, 11 sec. Another 10 min. walking at an incline; also 5 min Helix for warm up, cool down, 10 min. stretching after the run.

Last weekend I ran a turkey trot 5K in 30 minutes and 4 seconds. That puts me in the top 25th % for women aged 20-29 . . . But I'm in my late 40s! (It was also 2 min faster than the 5K I ran in Oct.) My PR was 27 minutes and change a dozen years ago, but I'm lighter and fitter now and would love to beat my time. I'll post…

I'm also 5'7", but late 40s F. On my wedding day nearly 25 years ago I weighed 147, so that's been my goal these last few years (coming down from an all time high of 238.8 lbs 7 years ago, 217 lbs 13 months ago). My hubs and other trusted family and friends have taken to saying for the last 6 weeks,"don't lose any more…

As a woman, this is great news! Skipping the cryotherapy option in favor of the sauna if there's ever a choice. :)

I'm traveling, no gym access. Also I do triathlons and sometimes overtrain -- I lean towards exercise addiction, if I'm honest. My body needs some rest this week.

10 min walk with my Senior dog, 2 min Helix warmup, 31 min exercise bike (15 mph avg pace), 20-25 min stretching and conditioning. No weights: I'm taking the week off from weight training. Starting tomorrow, I'm taking the week off from workouts --only walks Wed-Sun. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Yesterday: rest. Today: 10 min walk with the dog, then 4 min Helix, 16 min treadmill "recovery" run after Saturday's 5K, 10 min walk at 3% incline, 15 min conditioning (incline bench sit-ups, 60 sec plank, walking lunges, mat stretches).

Yesterday I ran a 5K in 30 min, 4 sec, good enough for 3rd place in my age group. Then I drove to the gym: 30 minutes on the stationary bike, 10 min strength and conditioning, 4 min Helix, 10 minutes stretching. More stretching at home later. Also some short outdoor walks before and after my run.

156.4 lbs this morning. This is an unposed picture — I don't think I'm even sucking in. Ha! if I ever get up the nerve to post on the "success stories" thread, I'm going to need natural lighting and a better camera. Wonder what my body fat % is. I watched an informative vid with Jeff Nippard about body fat percentages last…

15 min elliptical, then 22 min pool swimming (600 m.). Also 20 minutes outdoor walking.

Happy 70th!!! Your fitness level is inspiring!

Yesterday: got in a half mile on the treadmill, then took a call from my DD so had to make a trip up to the HS with clothing; returned to the gym and decided to finish the run out of doors, nearly 2 miles, maybe 5.1 mph pace. Really felt the lack of full recovery since I ran Sat., not Friday. Back to the gym in the evening…

Rest day today, so just some walks around the neighborhood since the temps continue in the 70s.

That sounds awesome. 10th overall -- nice work! The Florida Gulf Coast is one of my favorite places in the world (grew up going to visit grandparents there).

A brick workout --of sorts -- today: 53 min biking, outdoors, for 10 miles and change, then 16 min running at a 10'22" pace. It was actually warm here, in November! Good triathlon weather.

How'd your race go?

27 min swim (700 meters) first thing. Also three outdoor walks with the dog, a friend, then my daughter for a total of 70 minutes.

10 min rowing machine, 30 min strength and conditioning, 30 min outdoor biking.

This morning's weight: 158. I've been trying out "maintenance" eating this week, aided by my daughter's birthday celebration and some extra treats over the weekend (free Crumbl cookie, free 24 oz smoothie from Tropical Smoothie Cafe, free mini bundt cake from Nothing Bundt — all goodies we shared). Net calories in bold. W…

30 min stationary bike; 21 min. strength / conditioning (left elbow is sore going on 3 weeks now so I've dropped my weights down to 10# for lat raises; probably will skip them entirely on Thurs); 25 min. walking outdoors, at various times. The temps are starting to warm back up. The leaves have peaked here but plenty are…

Rest day yesterday (20 min walking outside). Today: 21 min treadmill run, 21 min elliptical trainer, 2 min Helix to warm up, walking lunges, other leg stretches, 5 min walk to cool down.

100 g. Sourdough bread from Whole Foods 30 g. Apple butter 14 g. light butter Black tea with 2 T half and half + 2 T 2% milk a clementine

An 11.4 mile bike ride. Gorgeous fall scenery. The leaves are actually breathtaking. And they'll be gone within 2 weeks!

21 min treadmill run, 10 min elliptical machine, 25 min walking outside. Various standing stretches.

2 min Helix warmup, 7 miles on the stationary bike, 28 min strength and conditioning, then 5 miles on my bike after work. Also 45 min walking outside. Temps are going to drop in three days, so I'm trying to squeeze out the last enjoyment from outdoor riding that I can now.

No worries. Reminded me of my brother back when we both lived at home and I'd talk about dieting too much, to his annoyance. :)

18 min pool swim, 500 meters. 30 min walking outdoors. The leaves are beautiful here!

Geez, almost like you put the "tough" into the Tough Love Fitness Club. But thanks. I haven't taken exercise calories into account in so long (with a long term weight loss mindset, with the idea that they are probably an overestimate, etc) that I simply did not think about that. Some days 1/3 of my food intake gets burned…
