Anyone up to much?

I lift 4 times a week and do sprints on bench and press days.

I'm starting to look less shaped like a blob. I'm happy.

I changed apartments this summer, and now I ride my bike to the gym instead of walking, since it'a bit far. That little extra exercise seems to have made quite a difference since I'm losing weight at a faster pace.

Still 10 kgs to go, mind, and Christmas around the corner will set me back a little I'm afraid  .

Also this new gym has hotter women in it.

So I gave waking up early to run this morning (sunlight!) a try.
Waking up at 0530 to go sweat out 4 miles to then be in a hurry to get kids ready for school and to work in time kinda sucked, I will have to wake up even earlier if I will continue to run in the AM.

I am getting to the age and stage that it takes me so much time to get my joints and muscles warmed up sufficiently to run without injury that I am much better off doing other things. 

Having said that, since I returned to working out I am down 15 lbs.  Not a great deal considering my height and starting weight but still a good start.  I would really like to get back down to about 240.  That may be a bit optimistic since my playing weight in my 20s was between 220 and 230 iirc.  Right now shooting to get down to 250.  About 14 more pounds to go to reach that weight but I seem stuck at around 264.

Have you considered aiming for odd-number targets, they're easier to achieve; try 259 next.

Well five is easier to achieve than 14 and this way you still get into the next decile.

Right, off now for a walk in the rain into the next county. 

Just did this again, in the wind and the rain.

My fitness in 2015 has been going the wrong direction.

So my max pulse is 190 which fits my age nicely. It's way way too hot for spinning classes though, the temperature in that room was just unbearable.

It's t-shirt weather.

Yeah, the outside was pretty nice early this evening, some rain but pretty much t-shirt weather, I regret wearing a jumper for the 40km I did.

My  2015 fitness is going slowly, I just haven't been able to get it going well. At least a lot of outside work in the yard and garden help a bit. But I did just buy a new bo-staff and have started practicing with it. Not heavy exercise but enjoyable for me. When I was heavy into doing martial arts in my younger years, kick boxing, etc. the staff was my favorite weapon.  It's something I've been meaning to do for a while and I think seeing Morgan on TWD using it like he does did help rekindle more of my desire to work with the staff.

My weight is fine, was down actually to the point I almost wanted to put on a few pounds. It has to be my eating habits which for a few years now have moved away from so much heavy foods to more veggies and lighter foods. But then I've never really been heavy, just sometimes had a few extra pounds like most of us.

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:

Did a nice 8 miler on the trails yesterday, felt great the rest of the day, felt like shit when I got out of bed until I worked out some of the stiffness.

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