[Drastic]

Only 1 last week.

Have some major tendonitis in my elbow, tennis elbow maybe.

Taking over a week off to heal, going to test it out Wednesday night since it's doing better this week.

Zero Tennis,
Zero runs

a couple of "stiff" walks. Glut playing up!

[littleman]

Four good workouts this week.  The shoulder is feeling good.  I think one advantage of being formerly obese is that it is fairly easy for me to add muscle to my chassis.  Diet wise, I am still very low carb and doing a 16-8 split feeding window.

My 16 y.o. daughter keeps making lots of progress, she's now repping deadlifts @ 145 in sets of 6 where before 150 was her one rep max.  She's telling me that next weekend she's going to do sets @ 150.

Good for her!

Another mediocre week in terms of effort. Great week in terms of pleasure - a run, some climbing, a hike to Ostrander Lake (beautiful fall scenery with a nip in the air and a threat of snow, but it in the end it didn't snow (it was forecast to be 50% chance of snow).

>snow

Yeah, it is raining here right now and feels cold, so it may be on the way!

Pretty good week. Upped the cardio a bit and try to throw in 20-30 minutes in every work-out.

[Drastic]

2/4 last week, elbow seems to be healing ok after a 1.5 week break.

Hoping to hit the full 4 this week.

Must be a good motivator for you

2 games of tennis... thats it.  Still stretching glut.  doing a few exercises about the house, but should be more.

[littleman]

Must be a good motivator for you

Yes it is.  As expected she's now repping at 150lbs. for deadlifts.  She said "Someday I'm going to be stronger than you dad."  I said yes she will, but hopefully it will take a while.  Anyway she's now working out with me four days a week instead of just the weekends. 

4/4

Good job keeping disciplined RC.

[ergophobe]

Littleman - that rocks. Glad to hear she's doing hard things ;-)

Good week - 5/4
Mostly running with a bit of climbing.

4/4

I'm still doing IF most days.  I've recently cut out artificial sweeteners from my diet -- I have to confess that I do enjoy sweet coffee.  It is interesting that sucralose seems to stimulate my appetite.  Anyway, I've been studying up on insulin suppression and making that more my goal than ketosis per say, though there seems to be a lot of overlap in dietary practice.

4/4 last week, all vball.

0/4
Vegas...

However apparently Tom tried to drive me down to the gym on Friday in Vegas.. was on my way out though.

Hopefully this week will be better.

>interesting that sucralose seems to stimulate my appetite

Same or anything vaguely carbish. If I have breakfast I could eat all day, if not more than happy to go to 2 or 3pm without anything at all.

IF suits me very well, invites to dinner here tends to mess that up!
