Officially under 200 lbs for the first time since before COVID! I have lost a few inches on the waist as well. I can notice the belt getting tighter too.
I will definitely be in shape by #DEFCON hell I may be in shape before spring at this rate. Let this be a lesson to everyone you can lose the weight if you discipline yourself and I’m not doing anything crazy. I even still eat out and get fast food on occasion, it’s all moderation. #exercise#fitness#weightlifting#mastolift#weightloss
I’m losing more weight now at 10 lbs in about a month. Also lost a few inches but yoyojng on BMI and I see to go through spurts of growing and losing so I think that’s muscle building from my intense workout days. I’ll need to do my morning workout soon but this puppy is at least keeping me busy #fitness#weightloss#exercise#weightlifting#mastolift
This is my fitness journey stats so far and that’s with last nights all you can eat Chinese Buffett of four plates included. I used a smart tape measure and a smart scale to get the stats for Apple Health. I’m working with my doctor’s to make sure I’m not overdoing it as much as I used to in college and high school. #fitness#exercise#mastolift
Just finished todays workout, leg day, and cardio (power walk and jog). I’m definitely going to increase my active calorie goals to 700 calories in January after I increase my cardio capability as that’s my weak point. #fitness#exercise#mastolift#workout
Got a smart tape measure to better track my stats and BMI than a scale. Now all my data can be tracked by Apple Health and my doctor at least. I’ll still use the scale. I’m planning to try and grab an Apple Watch series 9 before they are pulled from shelves this weekend too #exercise#fitness#health#mastolift
Got the morning started off right with a power walk on the treadmill and leg day on the bowflex. I should reach my goal with just my movement the rest of the day at work #exercise#fitness#weightloss#mastolift
Quick workout with a walk on the treadmill this morning before going to work. I’ll do more cardio when home with a power walk to meet my active calories. I’ll do leg day tomorrow before work if I can wake up early enough, otherwise I’ll do it Wednesday. #fitness#exercise#health#mastolift
This is today’s upper body workout. Abs, chest, arms, back, and core plus cardio first thing in the morning plus for a warmup. It’s a little after 1:00 and I’ve already hit all my goals for the day. #fitness#exercise#mastolift
I have a meeting this morning for my own business and wanted to get a quick workout in so I took a quick power walk on the treadmill. I’ll do upper body on the bowflex after the meeting with a quick cardio warmup. I am taking it easy after the 2 hour deep tissue massage yesterday to fix aches and pains from working out. #fitness#exercise#mastolift
So this is me at the start of my current fitness journey. I’m only about 2 weeks in, and as you can tell I was fit before I gained weight when gyms closed from COVID. All I need to do is lose fat around my core which is the only place I really have fat. But you can see it forming.
My goal is to look like my grandfather on the right of this old picture. He was my trainer and my fitspiration for my health. He’s 94 now. I want to be fit by #DEFCON #exercise#fitness#mastolift
@jeff yeah im trying to minimize carbs where I can even my protein powder has so little. I like Musclepharm as it tastes great and has five kinds of protein. Protein powder post workout, then these others intraworkout, and maybe a protein bar just before workout to get some slow energy started. So low carbs is important at the start but you want a little in the middle and after. #fitness#mastolift#exercise
Time for a quick morning workout. I can’t do as much as I wanted because I am sore from the 2 hour deep tissue massage yesterday. But I am more limber again in the constant fit to be fit again. My pecs, arms, shoulders, and ass were so stiff from exercising we had to strip the muscles and definitely up there with my most intense massages ever.
But determined to get my old Pre COVID body back #fitness#exercise#mastolift
I like working out at home as I can do all my workouts bare foot and just wear only boxers if I want. I feel more comfortable exercising barefoot so I’ll probably get those shoes that basically let you walk barefoot. #exercise#fitness#mastolift
For the rope skipping combo the number of max reps I could do without stopping is 3. I'm lacking endurance for the 4th DU, my jump is not performed well. Still I feel that I'm improving.
X2:
1️⃣ rope skipping combo: [3 SU + 1 DU] x10
Then I felt a sudden but light pain on my problematic right calf and I decided to leave this exercise off. Damn it, I hope it won't bother me for the rest of the week 😭
Strength:
1️⃣ banded pull-up 3x5 and then 2x5
2️⃣ air squat 5x10
3️⃣ knee push-up 5x10
4️⃣ single calf raise 5x10/side
5️⃣ mountain climbers x20/side
6️⃣ deadlift 5x10 @ 42kg
I'm also re-learning how to walk following the podotrist advice. I've only walked 6 km today but slow and light. I usually stomp heavily like a soldier and that's partly what causes my frequent calf injury.
For pull-ups I need to increase the reps or use a less resistant band because I could do them too easily. Next time I'll try 5x6, but I'm extremely cautious in celebrating progress because pull-ups are evil and setbacks are always behind the corner 😉
It was hot so I decided to keep a slow jog for at least 5 km and then do some strength training with my band.
I also felt a weak pelvic floor and I couldn't do banded pull-ups as planned.
I started using it in May 2017 because of a @caseynewton recommendation, about 14 months after I'd first started #weightlifting. Would not be here today without it! #mastolift
