WTG on the PR!

Rest day. Translation: moving, dr. appointment, and some great fights to watch tonight. Food: convenient. A little carb heavy unless I have nothing but protein the rest of the day.

Comparing the first and current picture, I'd say at least half of that 5 lbs was lean muscle -- that second picture shows some excellent progress. Personally, I'd say you should eat at maintenance and put some more muscle under that so-called wobble.[/quote] This.

1 hour beach run. 3 hours hiking. Ate at maintenance. When you have a breakup the week before your period... You might eat a few unnecessarily big meals and then scrape some frosting off your roommate's birthday cake... And that's "okay."

See what's conveniently available and just try some. Despite any product claims, it's doubtful that there is a "best" aside from personal taste.

1) 60 minute beach run, equal parts trail, sand, and paved. Light effort. Legs felt heavy from all that rucking the past few days. 2) 1 hour hike, no pack. Light effort. 3) 45 minute boot camp class. Stations. Pretty well rounded. Moderate to high intensity. Strength was feeling pretty spot on. Which was nice to see after…

Every day all day. Turkey sandwiches. 2 oz turkey on 2 slices natures own bread is around 200 calories. Lunch meat won't take up your whole fridge. Pop some Greek yogurt singles and boiled eggs in there. Keep bread and a bowl of fruit on top. Done.

"You are exactly what you think you are." Nailed it.

I put on about 10 lbs of muscle in a year with my only strength training being the body weight exercises I was doing for warm ups and cool downs. But I think that might just be my genetics.

1) 1 hour hill run. Steep hills. Light effort. 2) 1 hour hike. Leisurely. 3) Bouldering (gym) about 12 routes in 30 minutes. Calisthenics. Sit-ups, crunches, bicycles, toe touches, alt toe touches, leg raises, push-ups. 4) 45 minute ruck. Steep hills. 40 lbs. Aberaging about a 17 min mile which is a little slower than I'd…

I ran an hour or more every day for years before I knew rest days were a thing. My legs and feet are still in perfect working order.

Fun is key. Find a sport you like. Sports don't get boring because there's always some new element of technique to master or improve. Group classes are fun. Get a 24 membership and crash some new classes. Find an instructor who makes you laugh. Be playful. Exercise is just play time for grownups.

As someone who has worked in the fitness industry, there are good PTs and bad PTs and good PTs that will be a good or bad match for you. Most places offer some kind of discounted PT package to get you into working with a trainer. Like they'll give you 4 sessions for 50% off the regular price. No harm in trying it out, but…

Today was basically a repeat of yesterday. 4 hours cardio. 1 hour trail running (light effort). 1 hour walk on the beach. 2 hours hiking with a heavy pack (moderate to light effort). I wasn't pushing speed or distance as much today, and I didn't get wiped out by the end of the day like yesterday. Legs are feeling pretty…

Antiperspirant. I do a lot of running in humid weather in shorts, and it works great!

Cardio. 5 ish mile jog on hilly trail. Very slow. Took about an hour. 1 hour hiking steepest stuff around with a 35 lb pack. 2 more hours hiking no pack but trying to hustle. Averaging 15 min mile for a little while on flat. Feeling things out for an upcoming backpacking trip. Strength. None. Will make this a priority…

Outlier. 6-26 hours a week. Goal is lose a lb a week, but it's hard to maintain my activity level while cutting cals, so I'm having trouble striking a balance.

Sex appeal in men is 100% personality. I've found skinny, ripped, and fat guys sexy. If I'm just looking at photos and asked to pick most attractive body, I'd probably pick someone at 8-10%.

Fun day. Running, climbing, hiking. Run: 5 miles steap hills, moderate effort, 45 minutes Climbing: about 10 routes in 30 minutes. At which point I tore open the palms of both my hands pretty well to call it a day. Easy V1-V3 routes but climbed fast with dynamic movements. I was sweating. Core, arm,and shoulder strength…

I am a climber, boxer, runner, and avid hiker, and I can attest that walking 4mph is not a comfortable pace, and not even a pace that many people can hold for a mile.

This could be me exactly! Same height weight. Same goal. I also work out a lot. A few hours per day. I haven't lost anything in 3 weeks of logging. This week I've tried cutting my calories another 100-200 per day and staying at my goal for calories regardless of whether or not I am showing like 2,000 burned from exercise.…

Gym: Calisthenics: 20 min (pull-ups continue to improve!) Sparring: 5 x 2 minute rounds, going light to moderate depending on partner. I was feeling a bit slow in the gym today. Might be getting another cold. Cardio: jumprope 10 min. Work: 90 minutes hiking up and down hills with 40+ lb pack. 60 minutes light walking.…

Ha. Not pink eye! A corneal ulcer. Not as bad as it sounds. Got some fancy eye drops and I'm good to go! Back on routine. Boxing yesterday. 10 min jump rope, 5 rounds shadow boxing, 60 minutes on heavy bag. Food all over the place the last few days. Back to logging. Thinking of making adjustments due to no change in a…

Just try one every time you walk by the pull-up bar. Do them from standing. Eventually, you'll actually do one. It's partly a matter of strength and partly a matter of engaging the correct muscles. Keep trying. You'll get it.

God damnit! Completely derailed from routine yesterday by mystery eye condition. Can't see well. Major light sensitivity. Eyes burning and stinging and clamping shut. Can't do much of anything at all. Called off work and heading into dr. today so that I can hopefully get back to my normal activities asap. Two rest days in…

Didn't log anything yesterday. Romantic road trip with my honey. Got a 6 mile run in am. A hike. Didn't eat much till dinner. Massive turkey burger no bun. Some treats with tea. Lots of lovin ;)

Exercise: 45 minute weak sauce boot camp. Light weights and calisthenics. Food: up at 2,500, when my current goal is 1,800 ( to lose ). I was logging but not really looking at my numbers before making food selections, and had also banked on a long end of day run I blew off. Oh well, it all evens out over this week because…

I don't think telling someone who wants to run faster to run faster is terrible advice. I've been running almost 20 years. I've only run 3 races in my life because I don't like races and I don't train for them; placed first in 2 of them, 4th in the 3rd. I can comfortably run about 16 miles, or I can maintain a 7 min mile…

Went to gym at 6 last night. Couldn't fall asleep till midnight. I get up at 5, so I'm typically knocked out by 10.
