Saturday 11/29 went for a 3.5 mile bike ride towing my son in his trailer (combined weight around 70lbs), then later that day some strength training: Squats 5x5 125lbs OHP 5x5 75lbs Deadlift 3x5 at 230lbs Today went to the gym, did 10 minutes walking at a brisk place on the treadmill, Following by 20 minutes on the elliptical. -

I'M BACK!!!! Finally signed up for a gym membership again last Friday, met with a trainer on Sunday and did 20 minutes on an elliptical (gotta start slow). Then tonight I went again, 15 minutes on the treadmill, and 15 minutes on the elliptical.. Planning on going daily , at least mon-fri. Starting slow with just cardio, then adding some other exercises in. -

Past 2 weeks were pretty crazy, and I didn't do much organized exercise. I did a lot of hravy lifting at work, lots of house cleaning, bouggt a 1967 VW Baja Bug for a project, did a lot of pushing the car around, etc. Had company, my sister came to visit. Niw everything is getting back to normal. Got a free week pass to Golds Gym, went for the 1st time yesterday. Did 30 minutes on an elliptical machine. Might go today too. -

My legs are pretty sore today. On Friday I did 15x15. Gonna take some time to get used to 5 days a week exercising -
I just can't stop lifting. I need to maintain the muscle I have. So i started back on some strength training today. Did the SL5x5 B workout at 75% of my 1RM Squats 190lbs 5x5 Overhead Press 75lbs 5x5 Deadlift 230lbs 3x5 Probably not going to continue updating both battle logs, so I'll just stick with the new one.

18x18 today, I really wanted 20x20 but I just couldn't do it. Oh well 37 minutes of beast mode is still damn good. -

No workout yesterday, I was exhausted after work. I might workout today instead. I was thinking about doing cardio Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and strength training Tuesday, and Thursday. Also changed my macros to carbs 35% protein 35% and fat 30%. -

Not feeling wild and crazy today, so I did 15x15. First time wearing my heart rate monitor. Resting HR was 72 before starting, and 144bpm afterwards. Took me 26 minutes today. Still need to research what I need my HR to be for optimal fat burning. -

Thank you, babies are amazing, I can't even put into words what the last three years have been like. It's like a rollercoaster.
