I am entering the not-lifting as much, bike-riding a lot more phase. Camping bike trip this weekend. With ladies.

My spinning class ended the same time as the yoga class in the next room. I think I might sign up. :jaw-drops-to-floor:

You might get a better view if you joined the yoga class.

It looks like I've gained back 2 of the 6 kg I lost

I need to figure out some kind of decent dumbbell routine. It seems muscles are fashionable again.

My gym has all-glass walls, so when I'm in the weight room I have a clear view of the ladies doing all those classes that involve jumping a lot while wearing skintight sportswear.

It's insane.

1.5 miles in 12:15, not that bad for me, I've never been fast.

1.5 miles in 12:15, not that bad for me, I've never been fast.

In high school it took me about 17-18 minutes to do 1 mile.

I usually did them in around 8 minutes, course when I was a high school freshman I weighed about half what I do now.

I was at around the 13 min mark. I also represented the school in long distance running. We weren't a good school.

A brisk walk is 16 minutes a mile. I suspect you were a bit faster than that.

It depended on who was rolling him along and if there was any hills.

BTW, I really need to do push ups more often, my shoulder hurts like crazy today, and only did 45 of those.

9.4 mile trail run in 2:07. Awesome day for the trails!

Let's see how excited I'll be tomorrow morning.

Sounds a like a lot of fun.

No gain without pain?

Today I did single arm curls with 16 Kg, for 12 reps. It may not look like much, but this matches my personal best, from when I was in my 20s (I'm 37).

Most of my other muscle groups are hovering around my personal bests from 10-15 years ago. I didn't think this was possible, but I have been hitting the gym consistently for 10 months now.

Most of my other muscle groups are hovering around my personal bests from 10-15 years ago. I didn't think this was possible, but I have been hitting the gym consistently for 10 months now.

The best thing is that you're just getting started. After lifting consistently for 2 years that's when you really begin to notice the positive changes in yourself and how people react to your presence. 

So keep at it and eat your steak and eggs.
