it is quiet. i'm getting over an injury, so i'm not around as much. not sure about the rest...

24 minutes of circuit training, all upper body while ye olde ankle heals.

hurt my ankle, so i did 75 minutes of arm pedaling.

i thought i missed yesterday, and i was pretty bummed. but MFP is giving me a 495 streak. how cool is that?

36 minutes legs - squats, 1-legged calf lifts, farmer carry, explosive forward pulls and pushes on cable machine, exercise bike alternating up to a much higher resistance. then 10 minutes treadmill and 12 on upright bike.

my fave protein to stay sated is micellar casein mixed in non-fat milk or yogurt - or i heat it up in milk with some jello sugar free pudding mix. i use muscle feast chocolate, but there are many brands. i've read it takes longer to digest, so it can keep you fuller longer.

p.s. did a super fast 12 minute circuit set, too... 2 sets each biceps, triceps, chest presses, pec flys, rows...

so i tried a weighted vest, but it obviously wasn't made for busty women, so i tried another one. it was... an okay fit, but backwards, it was a perfect fit LOL i tried it today on a treadmill walk, but 8 pounds wasn't enough weight. i'll try working my way up to a heavier weight...

i decided to try something a bit different. instead of going faster and harder, i tried a longer, lighter ride at 90 minutes and followed it up with a 32 minute slower treadmill walk with an 8 pound weighted vest. it wasn't really enough weight to get my heart rate up - i'll gradually increase it.

just like so many, he got into making his own sourdough bread, pizza dough and cakes during the pandemic. he's gotten experimental and creates a lot of his own recipes, all delish.

i had to abandon my original account for similar reasons in 2019.

thank you, and happy birthday to all you other june birthday folks! we had a nice, laid-pack family party on friday. my son baked me a cake, which was super because i have a bad wheat sensitivity, so he made it with spelt and my favorite cream cheese frosting...

woke up, braced up, did an hour on the semi-recumbent exercise bike.

that's how i still start every day. go to log, then head to the newsfeed to check on everyone, and BAM! reality sets in, i feel sad and let down, i check the groups and head over for lots of food and fitness chat at Lose It.

i can add food notes on my windows desktop.

right now, LoseIt is definitely winning in the social aspect, although there's definitely room for improvement. for now, MFP is much better for me for logging... if the problem were truly that the newsfeed was very broken, as their reps claimed, they could have paid someone to program a brand new one. it amazes me that…

yes, you still do. i REALLY preferred being able to see all my friends' accomplishments and talk to them all on the same page.

probably a good guess...

taking a day off - my muscles are all sore and tired from yesterday's workout and the past few days.

Ralphone and everyone - hope you're all having a good week! LINIA - nice work!

my water and notes are fixed, but i'm getting pretty tired of being verified as human after i'm already logged in and have already verified repeatedly.

oh, silly me LOL nice workout!

30 minutes on the treadmill 5% incline.

tai chi's not a taste i ever acquired, although i didn't give it half as long as spring did. i have friends who absolutely love doing it.

482 days...

SSDD? super sonic DDs? did 51 minutes on ye olde exercise bike

yeah, i miss the newsfeed a lot, but here we are, and we can keep in touch with each other :)

30 minutes on the treadmill at 5%.

i've used them before. if you find one that fits well - some aren't great for people with larger pecs or boobs - they're effective for getting your heartrate up and adding overall effort to walking and jogging, and for those with average or weak legs, walking with them can help build some muscle as well as strength in the…
