My lockdown diet is working so far - I lost 40 pounds. The next ten will be more difficult though. I've been bouncing up and down in weight a bit, because I've been eating more liberally lately.

That's some good going Malthus, I guess your lockdown exploration walks helped a bit too.

Nifty.

My fitness challenge for this month is to do 400+ miles on the bike, something I don't think I've managed in any month this year. 

Well I managed to do 400+ miles on the bike this month, with a whole day to spare! 

I doubt I'll do that much again till the Spring of a post-covid world.

Nice going

The shoulder injury that I'd been carrying since early year has healed almost completely. I was kinda worried that it was one of those "YOU'RE OLD NOW" niggling injuries that I would never get rid of, but a friend of mine gave me the contact of a physio that nailed the treatment.

My lifts are also back at pre-pandemic levels, I've also lost a bit of weight... Things are chugging along nicely on the fitness level.

I have also got used to go to the gym at late night. The gym is deserted at that time, and since not everybody has good mask discipline, it makes for better Covid safety. Now it kinda fits well with my daily rythms (I was a morning gym-goer).

The outdoor season looks to be over now, the typical cold and rainy autumn has begun.
I really hope the gym will be allowed to stay open

Same weather here, so I might take a page out of your book, Mal and do much more walking (in the rain).

I bought one of those massage guns to help with an achilles tendonopothy that just won't go away. Not sure how I feel about it yet.

Third session back at the gym.  First bench press day - On my last day of bench press 6 months or so ago, I would warm up with 135 lbs and then move up to 225 to begin my workout.   Today 135 was were I stayed....

Now entering Winter hibernation.

Took a swimming class. Damn swimming is hard, really hard.

Two class mates from classes 1-9 were there also, that was fun, I haven't really talked to them in 20 years or so.

You'll get back there.

Bump - thread half way down the 2nd page.

With curfew I can no longer go to gym at nights, so now I'll try going at very early morning and check how crowded it is.

I've lost more weight and now I'm about to reach my personal "wall" (104 Kg). Every time I've tried to slim down in the past years I've never been able to get past that.

I was on the ice for all 3 kids hockey practices yesterday.  3 hours total.

Now I'm coaching, not doing the drills, and don't even work up a sweat.  But skating uses such different muscles, and I am demoing a lot of drills that I was seriously stiff and sore afterwards.

[crazy canuck]

I hear you.  I pulled a hamstring demonstrating a sliding drill back in the little league days - lesson that the coach needs to warm up too, learned.
