I've totally lost track. I took more sick days from work than I have in my whole life I think (partly due to an unlucky tendency to get sick on non-work days!).

Anyway, I was 2/4 last week, the second of which left me fevered and shaking... finally decided based on a diagnosis from Dr Internet that I had pneumonia. Finally feeling better, but laying low for the rest of the week just be sure. So 0/0 this week.

3/3 weight training last week. Made it to 5x5 squats at 230lbs. (1.5x weight) and then failed a couple workouts. That means a (planned) week of rest with concentration on quality calories and sleep.

Nice Travoli!

I did my usual 4/4 weight training this week, but my intensity was down slightly because I'm fighting a cold.

Double ditto.

Recomping is hard work, progress seems so slow. Keeping weight pretty stable, some visual improvements and clothes fitting better but tough going.

Two things really helping, gym tracker http://strongapp.io/ has been amazing, really helps focus on progressing, pretty angry I have never used one before. Also been doing body pump classes 3 times a week, with the right weight it is very very tough, just struggling a little working it in with "proper" training. Think once I manage that may start to make a bit more progress. Top tip, stand at the back of the class the view is amazing ;)

We starting another?  Or with summer on its way do we not need the motivation so much?

I think we should keep going.  Everyone could always use a little more incentive when it comes to health and fitness.

nffc is right. Travel isn't a good excuse. When I was spending a lot of time in Austin, I bought day passes to local gyms. Money well spent.

It was fun to workout in Vietnam.  Just think of the adventure of working out in a new environment as part of the perks of travel.
