>weight training

I should, but I can tell you for certain that I won't.  What's the difference between aging to death and being bored to death? Zip, except I'll have more time to do what I want with the aging-to-death route.  That said, as I approach 67, I can literally feel the loss of strength. Enough so that I may yet put up with being bored.

Or maybe just take a pill, hhh. How about testosterone? Sure way to have me kill someone or have the TSA kill me (remember, Louise won't let me stand with her in TSA lines, says I make them edgy.)

>psychologically difficult

Yes, very difficult. At goal, one of your first thoughts is "Now I can have cheesecake."   No, you can't. You have to stay pretty close to what you were doing, maybe branching out slowly with the aim of a better-balanced diet.  That's the really hard part because many staples of the recommended diets may not work for you personally.  I can't eat fruit. I can eat chocolate eclairs and they won't impact me as negatively weight-wise as a bowl of fruit.

It is reversible.  Ronald Reagan increased his strength 80% after he was shot by starting a weight training program.

>testosterone

This is actually in my plan, somewhere on the plus side of 50.

Oops, 168. Overshot.

Alrighty....I pulled the scale out:

222.6

Not good, not terrible, but a lot of work to do to get back under 200.

A bit under isn't a problem is it rc?

RC - you would be proud. No "wasting" time doing non-productive activities and just running nowhere or moving iron back and forth pointlessly.

Nope, I planned ahead last night and put a rubber mat into the snowblower which failed to sheer the sheer pin and shredded the gear case. Kaput.

So I woke up to 15" of snow and no snowblower. 1:15 minutes later, sweaty and a bit grumpy at my stupidity for running over the mat, I'm officially exercised for the day and the driveways are both semi clear... except for the 1.5" on the first driveway that fell while I was doing the second driveway. If this keeps up, I'll be real fit by spring!

3/3 last week, two league nights plus 2.5 hours open play in sand yesterday.

220.6

Going for 4 this week, already hit the gym this morning. ('twas rough!)

4/4 for me.  Nothing extra this last week as I've been fighting another cold.

3/3 weight training.

Phew you guys are hot.   I sense a certain January malaise in the thread.  But the morning ARE getting lighter in the UK.

Bad week last week, saved at the weekend from being appalling.

Seems like there is some tough stuff going on.  An old friend passed away tues. My best mate is her son. Never had time for excersise, too much other stuff going on.


2 short runs at the w/e though

So 2/4

@Rupert - so sorry to hear that! Fitness has many meanings and helping a friend through a hard time trumps yet another weight workout.

5/4 - I'm going with that.

Most of my exercise this week was shoveling snow (about four hours total). Also managed to lift weights once and go on three short ski tours (2-4 hours). Adds up to way more exercise than I usually get.

Finally managed to get out in the snow for a look around.

For this one, I put the skis on right at the house (crossed the street actually)

Those are beautiful images Ergophobe.  The snow looks exhilarating and at the same time exhausting.

It's more fun with skis than with shovels, I'll tell you that much!

WOW!  beautiful.  Very envious. You live in a beautiful place.

>You live in a beautiful place.

Sometimes I forget that such spectacular places are just driving distance away from me.  California is really an amazing place  -- so much diverse beauty.

Rumbas?

Pokemon is ok...I forgive you.
