So far we have:

Who else?  What is your goal?

I am in for 4 sessions a week of weight training and upping my general physical activity, doing more skateboarding, walking, maybe even a little running.

Drastic

I'm in for 4, hoping to work back to 5 by end of this session.

Mix of vball and gym, maybe some two-a-days at some point.

Drastic

Just the two of us...

Glad you're still committed even with the injury!

First week, off to an excellent start. 6/4:

3x gym
3x vball

One night was 6 straight games of sand doubles, a first for me. The (braced) ankle is doing great.

This week I have 4 straight nights of vball planned, which will be another milestone test. 2 straight indoor, then 2 sand. I hope to hit gym on Friday and sand vball again on Sunday. Weather permitting, shooting for 6 again this week with minimum of 5 unless a sand session gets rained out which will drop the goal to my normal 4 for this week.

Nice week Dras!  6x total, pretty good! 

The shoulder injury is a bit of a nag and let's.me.know it is there.  I've been avoiding exercises that aggravate it, but I am still doing what I can.  Diet wise I'm doing something I think RC would appreciate, I'm going deep low carb (ketogenic) and mixing in intermittent fasting -- feels like I'm hacking my body composition.

4/4/for week one.

I don't have a real goal that's motivating me right now other than "get out more"

Last week was pretty lame, but on the weekend we hiked/climbed White Mountain near Tioga Pass and crossed over to Conness and then on Sunday did Tenaya Peak, which is an easy rock climb. It's been a while since I've gotten two consecutive days where I spent most of the day covering distance with just my own legs and arms to power me. Felt very good, physically and mentally.

That's pretty funny Ergophobe because it sounds like a good amount of physical activity to me.

Rumbas

Cudos guys.

I'm not the one who's going to let you two do this on your own.

I'm in - however been struggling with my back but finally got into a 6 week training program with the physio. Good motivation as I'm going on a team for those 6 weeks pushing each other twice a week. Been taking a couple of gym sessions with my friend on top as 4 weeks vacation tipped the scale above 100 kgs. and a feeling like shit.

Going for 3 workouts a week - 4 and I'm golden.

I am in too.
no race goals. Just keep going after travelling. 10 lbs lighter and I like it.

Rumbas, that back is really rumbling on. I do hope you get on top of it soon.

Ergo you do seem to punch high with your activity levels....  ::)

I meant midweek, when I did close to nothing. I think one short run.

The weekend was great. More of that and I'd be feeling really fit. Consistency has been my big issue lately.

Good to see you in here Rupert, congratulations on the 10 pounds!

Drastic

Just 4 last week. Volleyball for 2 hours every evening Monday through Thurs. Gave myself three days off - ankle doing great though.

ergophobe

A little better - a bike ride and two runs

Also have gotten back into my "rock lifting" during my lunch walk now that it's not so blazing hot  - overhead squats, deadlifts, Jefferson curls (new one for me). Light weight. They feel heavy, but I think I put them on the scale they would just feel a lot heavier than a bar of the same weight.
