bigdude Posted November 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 Late night but got it done. Quote 100lb Weight loss goal: 25lbs as of Jan 1,2019 Link to comment
bigdude Posted November 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2015 Morning cardio.... 30 minutes on the elliptical. First time I've been able to pull that off. Usually I have to switch to treadmill because my legs give out. 1 Quote 100lb Weight loss goal: 25lbs as of Jan 1,2019 Link to comment
bigdude Posted November 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 5x5 tonight Motivation definitely took a hit during my recovery. Trying to get it all back. Every step forward is a step forward - regardless of what ever steps backward were taken. Right? 1 Quote 100lb Weight loss goal: 25lbs as of Jan 1,2019 Link to comment
Pat Posted November 23, 2015 Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 I think it's great about your cardio! not sure about you but for me, I think it feels damn good when I'm suddenly able to do something I couldn't before Quote My Battle LogChallenges 1, 2,Escape the Matrix Quest Those are challenges I couldn't complete during previous 6 Week Challenges. While they won't be my focus for the next 6WC, I am keeping them here until I complete them. I WILL complete them.

bigdude Posted November 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2015 Thanks! It does feel good. I need some wins to keep my motivation going. My weight loss has stalled - but I'm loosing inches as my body reshapes itself. People have started to notice my changing shape, which is nice. Need to get my mojo back though... just a 2 week stall and I've gone from "maybe I don't really need to wait a day between lifting sessions" to "I'll do it tomorrow..." As I head back toward my pre-injury lifts I think it will come back. I just don't get the same rush from these lower weights. 1 Quote 100lb Weight loss goal: 25lbs as of Jan 1,2019 Link to comment
bigdude Posted November 25, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2015 This morning: 30minute HIIT. Putting some jogging in there in the TM. I'm pleased with how well I tolerated it. Thought it would be worse. Tonight 5x5. Maybe gettin' my groove back. Feels good to sweat hard. Can't wait till I'm not retracing old ground.

bigdude Posted November 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Morning: 30 minutes HIIT cardio. Evening: lifted the stuff. Feeling good. Weight loss at a stand still. Not too worried about it... Quote 100lb Weight loss goal: 25lbs as of Jan 1,2019 Link to comment
bigdude Posted November 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Got to go spend an hour at the range today. I haven't been shooting in more than 2 years. My skills and my guns have been pretty neglected... I used to shoot competitively. Let's just say... I'm not at that level any more... It wasn't pretty, but it was good to get back out again. I had fun. Hoping to go back again with my wife tomorrow when the weather is a bit better. 1 Quote 100lb Weight loss goal: 25lbs as of Jan 1,2019 Link to comment
bigdude Posted November 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 Lifting tonight: I moved a 300lb gun safe up 2 flights of stairs. Left my back a little tired, so I'm not 5x5'ing tonight. One key point: moving the safe was not nearly as bad as I expected: Lifting is turning into practical strength. 1 Quote 100lb Weight loss goal: 25lbs as of Jan 1,2019 Link to comment

bigdude Posted December 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 Now that's something! Payback for all the hours spent workingout!!!!Amen to that!Tonight's 5x5. OHP is a challenge. Waiting 3 minutes between the last 3 sets seems to help. Still... Shakes getting the last rep up. Everything else felt great tonight! Squats went up with effort but steadily.

bigdude Posted December 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Some cardio this morning. Wasn't feeling it. Everything was tight after a few days off. Calves and knees hurting. 1 Quote 100lb Weight loss goal: 25lbs as of Jan 1,2019 Link to comment
SevenofSeven Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Hope the pain isn't anything serious, especially the knees. Voltaren emijel works wonders on my knee. It's so frustrating this getting old business. 1 Quote Wait! What............? Link to comment
