Thank you all for the feedback. Agree, I do plan to increase caloric intake a bit as I start adding exercise. Just didn't want to sabotage my loss plans. Trying to get down to 190-185 and maintain, gotta keep a lil chub 😄

@kshama2001 there are times my diary won't allow me to record, as I am below 1300 calories. I am short and stubby and of recent sedentary. I was getting too big and cardio wasn't an option. I take walks, but haven't planned on working out til I had lost some pounds. Agree, typically I should be around 1500 calories, but…

Animal, nothing is hopeless. Hang in there embrace the journey, keep your focus

North its tough...I dont know that I can keep at 1200 go forward. Loving the results for now, but once gyms open back up...I dont know

Ali, I was as surprised as you and Slim. The muscle mass at both checking are using specialized equipment that is relatively accurate, but agree overall, that all figures are relative. Thank you for the input and I agree I gotta find a balance, its tough.

Slim thank you for your feedback. I am trying to allow myself some leeway, but do want to remain dedicated.

So, I had an official weigh in of sorts and I recorded some measurements and need this group's help and input: --Weight 221 from 231 --% of Fat 27.9 from 31.6 --Muscle Weight 150 (stayed same) --Hydration 49.4% which is low Daily caloric intake Goal is 1500 (From Doc) - I am hitting between 1200-1400 during the week, on…

Everyone have a great weekend! Keep staying fit 💪 🤜✌

So..last night wasn't too bad, sun went down and temps dropped to 95. Put 40 minutes in, knocked soome good intervals and was able to do it again this morning around 0430. Didn't get eaten by Tiger in my dreams last night :smiley:

Have a good evening everyone, ill provide update on my intervals in the AM...But its 5:35PM here and 108 outside...darn its hot 🔥

Yeah early mornings are rough, but compared to the alternative of triple digit heat runs, I'll take it :smiley: :smiley:

Last night was rough, I was eaten by a tiger...in a rather frightening dream :smile: . Then I spent the rest of the early morning hours worried I'd over sleep my alarm and miss my 0400 wake up call...WTH??? Well I did miss my run but not because I slept through my alarm. So now have to run this evening, its gonna be 108…

Ha! Me too. Have fun!

Stuffyknee make sure you eat... a lot if your weight training and boxing, fuel the body with good proteins and fats. Good luck enjoy the journey!!!

AliNouveau nothing wrong with challenging yourself and why would that result in a training injury? :smiley: plan it, do it, push it, just prepare to pull it back a little if you need to.

Just completed my first day of cardio walk-run intervals on my way to running-sprinting intervals. My goal is to be able to run at 4.5 and sprint at 6.0 for 30 seconds for 10 rounds before end of the month. 0430 came early, but temps in AZ were great, about 75 degrees.

Ate healthy today, nice 12oz piece of Atlantic salmon, smoked over cherry wood, cup of salad, even had enough left over for 2oz of fine Kentucky bourbon. Now its pool time. Happy 4th everyone!!!

Ok cool! Thank you!

How do I find out who liked a post of mine so I may say thank you and/or make friends?

Brand new here, at least to Premium, have to make some life changes. I've been off and on with my fitness, I like having too much fun. So figured I'd try something new, be a little vulnerable...which is not my style, and seek out motivation. I've got decent muscle mass (180lbs), but not so great fat mass (73lbs), so this…
