  • Not sure I'm making much progress on body comp yet.  Two things have changed this week.  My brother and I are back at the gym 3X week which covers off much of my core exercises with a little extra.  Second I'm starting to track calories again so this should help the body comp equation.

  • Looks like I only gained a half to one pound on my no-log week last week that included vacation and my friend cooking beautiful gourmet meals for me...and I helped!  But they were healthy meals and she got me motivated to ensure I cook healthy food for the family.  I didn't take my Cordz with me, but I did my planks and push ups.
  • Well here we are 10 weeks done. Was able to get in some quality core this week. My massage therapist tore me apart yesterday and gave me some homework to do before I see her again in 3 weeks. I really enjoy this hr no matter how much I cry in pain. New exercises/stretching to embrace this week. Able to get in 4 core workouts this week. I firmly believe this time is getting and keeping me physically together and stronger this year. On the wt front down a lb to 158, started OS at 164 lb. I only have 2 lb's to go before I am at my normal race wt for the last 2 years. 5 yrs ago normal race wt was 164 lb and that was hard to maintain, how times have changed as you stay longer in the game ! Week 11 peeps, plank er hard !
  • Nice work Gordon! Going to gym and tracking hopefully will work. I know tracking does it for me...

    Excellent Leslie - nice!

    Way to go Steve! Cool to have new exercises to mix it up a bit! Good luck.
  • So- after a week of not logging, I only gained a pound and lost that this week.  Plan is to lose another plan this week before traveling next week- at a conference with peeps I have known for 20 years- will be lots of eating and drinking and making merry.  I'll try to make good choices!

    Hang in there y'all!  This is hard work.
