I fucked off before I went on vaction and the world starting coming to an end at was back at 239. Hundred miles or so later and eating properly back to 232. I always do better eating when I am on vacation. I mean I really didn't have anything else to do for 2 weeks. I was just glad the rain let up in spurts so I could ride.

On a side note, I was sprinting the other day and pulled a muscle right next to my starfish. I mean, how does that even happen?

Also, while I do enjoy seeing everyone out riding and walking, for the love of what ever, learn the rules of the road. It is like playing Frogger.

I am glad I have my home gym...95% of my workouts are already done at home so that's made the workout side easier. Just by chance we picked up a treadmill and exercise bike in January to supplement our other equipment.i didnt want the treadmill at first but that's become essential now.

Hopefully stores are restocked so I can pick up some more low carb options. My goal was to have my Bikini Body ready by the middle of April and I'm almost there. With these mid 80 temps I'm about ready to start heating the pool!

We live in the middle of the shit near Houston Galleria. In the past we had a badass garage gym, but now in an apartment and (ironically enough) we're working/saving toward our house on some hill country land.

But... We made sure to keep our Concept 2 rower, a bunch of kettlebells, etc, and due to be shutdown our small, local crossfit gym let me take home a barbell, some plates, etc. But today, just one kettlebell got it done.

Today's workout was 10 rds for time:
10x 44lb KB swings
10x 44lb KB goblet squats
10x pushups
4 floors stair run

Make due with what you have.

Working from home definitely takes some getting used to, both in staying on task during work hours, and not making extra trips to the fridge/pantrt.

I was finally back in the groove for a few weeks when they shut down, for me this is just more practice at relaxing in the now, and focusing on the long game. I have worked from home for most of the last decade, so diet has been good, just not losing weight as fast as I was when burning the extra calories. I'm to a point in life where I am ready to give up some muscle just to be lighter on my feet.

I've been going out and walking. This is frustrating as hell.

Do a 5 day fast. That'll help you avoid temptation. You'll build some much needed discipline.

We have different definitions of discipline and physical fitness.

Being skinny fat is not my goal...I'm a high performance machine sucka.

I pulled weeds on Wed., then yesterday cut up two downed trees in the backyard and stacked them. My hammys and glutes hurt today. Who needs a gym! in case I haven't said it today, fuck all of this rain coming at one time.

I think the hardest part for me is going to be diet...sitting around all this food working from home all day is challenging my willpower. And most of the food i have in preparation for the coronavirus is higher carb. Things could be a lot worse though...

As of now my gym has no intention of closing. That makes me happy. Stupid faced barber closed today with an appt. tomorrow.

[R1psycho]

Both gyms I belong to are closed now for the time being. I’m just going to let the body rest some and hopefully my rotator gets back to normal. I’m going to bounce off the damn walls though and just do hikes and stuff outdoors weather permitting.

Welllllllll, 24 Hour officially shut down for now. I have been doing a shitload of cardio and not going to the gym since I had a shoulder injury where my dog tripped me a few weeks ago. My back, hip, etc etc has been feeling better. Maybe I needed a good break.

[SS Junk]

Shifting legs, my gym got a Pit Shark belt squat machine. Can't get enough of it. Actually look forward to leg day now.

No shoulder injuries to really speak of. Just a twinge here and there. There hasn't been any advantage as of yet in changing grip other than feeling more stable. I'm going to have to study on this a little more.

Makes sense. Still seems a bit rickety.
As long as the topic of flat benching has come up, in my twilight years I have found suicide grip to be far more comfortable than normal grip. Change my mind.

That's not a bench press, that's a wide reverse-grip press, and shifts focus to the front delts and triceps, a lot less chest involvement. It's a great movement, but don't expect to grow your chest with it. It'll definitely be more comfortable for anyone with a pre-existing shoulder impingement, or something of that nature. I've had to be super vigilant about keeping my elbows in as I get older, and arching the back also helps alleviate shoulder pain as well.
