You still have the weekend, unless you have something special planned.

[bill]

Half my weekend is gone already.  The other half may be used to recover from the first half.

5/4 this weekend

It was freezing cold climbing today (actually in the high 40s, but with a howling wind so we had trouble communicating from 100 feet away and cloudy with the odd raindrop).  Cold enough my hands went numb (which I'm blaming for a short fall). But anyway, second week I did something active on five of seven days.

Friend showed my his Fit Bit One - any of you guys have one? I'm thinking of getting one for my wife for her birthday. Said friend has lost a ton of weight and gotten in much better shape in just the month he's been using it.

No personal experience, but I've been warned about the FitBit due to its limited phone compatibility. If you have a compatible phone now that's great, but if you plan to change you'll have a limited selection supposedly.

Also, have a look at the just announced Withings Pulse. That had a good feature-set too.

I am so 19th century about my fitness efforts.  I don't track calories, I don't log progress.  Instead I eat a very routine diet and make small adjustments when I stall.  I also go a lot by how I feel, if the calories get too low I'll feel shitty, but I found that there is a sweet spot, where I can drop but still feel pretty good -- it has been a creeping target, getting smaller as I've gotten lighter but day to day it is predictable.  With the weights I'll just remember what I did last time and try to up it.  Of course, being on the tail end of a five year cut I am not really getting stronger.  I am looking forward to the time I could up my consumption a little more and start to concentrate on gains.  Before I get there though I am on this vanity quest to get good definition in my abs, it's a funny thing to go after in your forties, I know, but I figure I've come this far.

[Rumbas]

2/4.

Good stuff LM.
Personally I hate going by how I feel, because the diet will really decide how you feel and sometimes I feel like shit if I've been going low carb for a while and just go nuts over the weekend fx. On Monday I'll feel like shit, but will be able to pull a little more weight. However I totally agree, cutting or working on getting more lean is tough if you want gains with the weights as well. Keeping track of your diet and sticking to it is my main obstacle and eating shitty for a while carries over to the training as well, eg. if I've eating shit, my motivation for training goes down as well. The last 2-3 weeks have be this way for me and the weight is increasing really really fast.

I'm ok with that though as it's a choice and I really like good food
