Hate calorie counting, and tbh was getting a bit over it when I was in deficit all week and not dropping weight.
Weighed 99.5 this morning, so dropped 1.5 since last Monday but I am not sure how much to attribute to the fact I had less than 1,000 cals yesterday due to a swollen lymph node meaning eating was uncomfortable, although surely the week of deficit will help too.
-
Calorie deficit in week 2 and still put on 500g this week....always sugars, salt and usually monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats I'm right on the daily limit or just under/over.
-
shes gonna be tough at the gym in the coming months with them not allowed to use fans!
Last 2 days been early 20s here, and I have sweated loads in my workouts, which wouldnt be so bad if I was drinking as much water as I would normally, but water fountains off too...keep forgetting to take a much bigger bottle (usually my 1L bottle is refilled at least twice)
-
Man calorie counting sucks, especially when running at decent deficit, and not making any headway on the weight!
I've also increased my cardio at the gym too, which wasnt hard as I was only doing minimal, now doing >10 mins each workout with HR >150BPM
-
Jesus those are low numbers, especially if you're also exercising. Do you find that you're functioning OK?

@rancid-schnitzel those deficits are including workouts (ie eating 2400 cals and off set by 800 cal at gym giving 600 cal deficit for day with target 2278 intake)
Haven't had dinner yet and screenshot doesn't show snacks (fruit, protein shake, nuts etc)

Good to know! Thought you were only eating 1800 cals.
Maybe the figure for the calories burned is inaccurate? It's strange that you wouldn't lose weight based on those numbers.

@rancid-schnitzel dunno is linked to my watch, I was at gym for over an hour today and finished with 5km bike ride so that number seems about right

️I don't know. You reckon you cracked a grand in the space of an hour? You must have been going at it like a demon.
Sorry just saw above. I assume the bike was high intensity?

@rancid-schnitzel was 72 mins all up, yeah HR around 150-160+ on bike.
It isn't a crappy watch and I've often thought numbers were actually on the low side with some activities haha
That said, even if those numbers are say 25% too high, my deficit is just smaller, but still a deficit...maybe in a fortnight 5kg will just disappear

If accurate then it's a mathematical certainty. Just continue what you're doing

I dunno if it will have any impact but on some strong antibiotics at present too (day 11 of 15)

No gym, back to walking up the maunga
-
Struggling for motivation in lockdown again, but went for a walk with Mrs TR yesterday and then did a 25 min HIIT workout today:
- Walkout push ups
Skipping
Seated jump squats
Plank (where you move into press up position and back to starting)
Kneeling rows (with resistance bands hooked at top of door)
5 rounds
Skipping is bloody tough...not sure I'll ever get to this chicks level....
- Walkout push ups
-
Push ups, goblet squats, shoulder press (with resistance bands) knee raises and reverse Plank hold (for 20 sec each round)
Reps: 20, 18, 16....2
Then HIIT Skipping...30 sec work, 10 sec rest for a bit over 6 mins
Had to do some calf stretching at end, first couple of rounds I go 30 sec sweet, last few rounds I hit my legs/feet several times each 30 haha
-
Wife's birthday today, knowing the food that was in store thought I'd go for a bit longer walk today taking the longer route up the maunga, 5.4km
Ended up jogging up the steps, then pretty much running, albeit a slow pace, down and back along to my car.
HR hit 190 briefly but I did try to keep it above 140 from the ascent.
-
Yesterday did a workout where I started with 3 reps, then 4, 5, 6 through to 12
Walkout push ups
Goblet squats
Upright rows (resistance bands)
Seated rows (resistance bands)
Bicep curls (resistance bands)That took alot longer than I expected, and the last few rounds of Walkout push ups were hard.
Finished with HIIT of 25 sec work 10 sec rest of Skipping and punch bag for 8 mins.

Hit the gym last night!
Stll well in net calorie deficit, weighed 98.2kg this morning, which is 1.5kg loss since I stopped my anti-biotics 8 days ago, so unsure if that had something to do with we retaining weight.
Still having issues with my tennis elbow, nothing major, just annoying, people I talk to often say how painful it is, mine isnt painful, just annoying.
Bit harder stretching the muscles on the top of the forearm, but trying to up the stretching and work on them overall.

I get that when I do elbow push ups, my right ( I’m left handed ) flares up and is pretty sore. Everything else seems fine, just those particular exercises
I just Deep Heat the shit out of it and try and ignore it.

So weighed in at 97.4kg this morning, almost another keg in a week, so things starting to move in the right direction.
Also been doing a few new exercises for flexibility/mobility of hip flexors and shoulders, can really feel the benefit of them in my creaking old body haha!
