I'm getting ready to head to the gym now, I had to wait until the sleet/freezing rain ended, already slipped this morning just stepping out front to pick up my morning paper off the front lawn earlier. Welcome first day of Winter....

Nothing to report this week I'm afraid. I have been sick in bed since around noon on Christmas Eve, bad head and chest cold. Did manage to get myself to work yesterday for a few hours so I didn't lose the holiday pay on Thursday. Been doing a lot of sleeping and just plain old relaxing. Haven't been to the gym since Wednesday morning. Hopefully will get back into the swing of things by Monday.

Hope you feel better soon, Andy!

Thanks Sue!!!

Oh Boy, I'm Pooped Out!!! But it felt good getting back to Riverwinds this morning(I came down with the flu Christmas Eve). I packed on a few pounds (4 to be exact--too many Christmas goodies) over the past 10 days, now to get those pounds and more off!!!

Did manage a nice two hour workout this morning, 90 minutes on the treadmill, the rest of the time on the weight machines. Now, it's time to relax a bit and catch my breath (the flu took a lot out of me.)

My DW isn't a happy camper, I passed on the flu to her, (my bad) she came down with it New Year's Eve. Now I get to go food shopping today.........

I'm back on track......this week I lost 2 of the 4 pounds I put on over the holidays!!!

 

[Verandah Man]

OK, braved the cold (6* here) and did my weekly weigh-in. I am down another 2 pounds this week, bringing me back to where I was just before Christmas!!!

Way to go, Andy! You inspired me to start last week. I pulled a muscle yesterday - unrelated to exercise- in my thigh. Going to have to take it slow! Anyway! You are more dedicated than me! I would not have braved that kind of cold! I'm just not that dedicated......yet!

I've reached another small milestone, I am now under 190# for the first time in ages. The scale read 188.8 after my workout today, I am almost to the 40# weight loss mark!!!

OK, time for a nice mid-morning tossed salad........

 

[traceycooper]

well done for reaching that milestone
You have done amazing - keep it up & keep enjoying those salads

Made it to Riverwinds this morning, albeit a little later than usual. Got in a nice 2.5 hour workout then did my weekly weigh-in........


I was a bit nervous because I didn't get my workouts in on Wed-Thur-Fri because of the nasty weather, but I did manage to lose 1/2 pound this week...... I am about 1/2 pound away from hitting the 40 pound mark......


Sitting here having a nice tossed salad for lunch.........

 

[traceycooper]
