I rested today while I watched my swim group paddle out into the wild blue yonder... resting despite wanting to swim... I had my surf board with me too, but was tired so I didn't surf either. That's actually an accomplishment for me :smile: I listened to what my body needed, relaxed and prepped food for the gang and…

I ate until my stomach's content yesterday at Thanksgiving! But as I was getting dressed to go to the in-laws, my spouse said "You look like you have balls..." I was biologically born/am still of a female body... Ha! It's because my underwear is now sagging from losing so much weight! Gotta get slimmer more flattering…

we are stubborn fools... :wink: i used to train 6 days/week in martial arts. then somewhere along the way, i had to take a few days off (maybe busy work schedule, I dunno), and remember being so shocked when I got to the dojo afterward and was able to execute power and movements better than ever. That was in my twenties…

Depending on how many family members make the drive, serving anywhere between 20-40 people. I always make a "vegetable" dish. I'm the ONLY person who ever makes something with vegetables! And no one eats it unless I add bacon. The last few years, a big tray of chopped veggies with roasted potatoes, slathered in a homemade…

A meandering warm-up swim through reef and surf, excellent clarity, plenty of fish! And then a 1+ mile straight swim. I was tired today, but was able to complete it.

Manageable mini-goals: -get a new solid strength training routine down (working with a trainer now so it's much more organized) -maintain surfing once/week (I've cut it down from 3x/week on purpose to make room for other exercises) -strengthen my quads for better sprinting (already happening) -explore more ocean spaces for…

Checking in with your doctor might help clarify if there are any other issues affecting the weight gain, hormones etc... a friend of mine gained weight despite being very active and on a diet, turned out to be a thyroid issue. My sister also starting gaining unexpected weight (extreme) and it turned out to be a…

I don't normally time my swims, or always accurately distance them... but since others around me do (sometimes), I'll ask if we are together or swimming around the same time/place. Today, we swam from ocean lagoon to ocean lagoon, with walking in between (I wanted to jog but my friends did not). Total according to my…

Maybe 60 min leisurely ocean swim (didn't time it accurately) alternating with walking between lagoons Stretching before and after Considered my active rest day

If I do an upper body workout today, I rest those muscles tomorrow, but may do a lower body workout instead. If I'm tired in general, I may just walk, because I enjoy it. Or, if it's a non weight-lifting day (full rest from strength training), I may stretch or do some restorative yoga. I still just do other things I enjoy,…

Had a session with a trainer at the gym a couple days ago, and I am still sore today. I count that as a success, because I was able to push myself enough to get sore, in a good way, and I'm looking forward to getting stronger. Other NSV is lovingly treating myself to a massage today to help calm the soreness! Training…
-
Yup, I'm still using it right now. I finally got around to editing the rest period for supersets. Inputted some of my own exercises also, though probably should upload photos of the equipment for better reference - just haven't made the time. I don't log my warm-ups or active rest days when I swim or surf etc., since I…

I'm still experimenting with Strength Training and like it so far. Haven't figured it all out, but it does show history of my last weights/reps on an exercise, so I can track my progress. It also shows a demo/explanation of listed activities. I can also input my own exercises, including those that are just timed (if I'm…
