Healy Arms Report post Posted March 24, 2017 Had to take more days off than I anticipated for the flu and related fun. I know people argue the pros and cons of flu shots, but this is the first year in probably 18 years I didn't get one and got slammed with Strain A. Out of commission with that alone for over a week. Back at it this week and building up steam quickly with the workouts. Didn't lose much ground. Weight - no loss - no gain. I can work with that and likely drop one by week's end. Talk to you all Monday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bigorange Report post Posted March 28, 2017 Finally back at it...have been walking regularly for a while and now added more cardio several times a week and playing racquetball again regularly. Time to add weights back into my regimen. Haven't been weighing in, but paying attention to how I feel and how clothes fit. Definitely improvements. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Healy Arms Report post Posted March 29, 2017 Got back after it this last week - changed up a few things to keep the workouts from getting mundane. Workouts were solid effort - every time. I Used the MyFitPal to track my eating and workouts and didn't lose a single pound. Looks like getting the train going again might take another week of physical effort and some extra calorie cutting. Being sick is a stupid setback no matter how you look at it. No worries. I have time to get where I want to be for elk season and It's already my focus. All I need to do is cut 1 to 1.5 a week and I'm golden. Be back here in a week... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MULEPACKHUNTER Report post Posted March 29, 2017 Hey don't forget mark you are also building muscle , don't think your not getting leaner, as you add muscle and lose fat you will have no loss weeks. Your body will get used to workouts also so big switch ups in types of workouts helps a ton. Example I was working out a ton and then I played a round of golf and I was sore in all new places.

MuggyMan Report post Posted April 4, 2017 Been 2 weeks since last check in. After getting back from the cruise, worked four 12-hour shifts and another half-day, and there was a bunch of junk food at work, so that week was a wash. Back on track this week with the training and nutritional program. Lost 4 of the 5 pounds I gained on cruise (down 20 pounds net since Jan. 1). Going to gradually add more miles to my morning hikes. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Healy Arms Report post Posted April 4, 2017 Purposely lost my fitbit and locked myself our of MyFitnessPal - went hunting for a couple days and then a birthday weekend - both included too many calories. But I stayed on the workout schedule, walked a boatload of miles and managed to only gain JUST ONE li'l ol' pound. Back at it this week. Ratcheted up and changed up the workouts and back to clean on the eating. I have a some long & steep hikes coming up in May (just 5 weeks away) and that Unit 23 elk tag on my mind. My cardio was good while out hunting & walking hills but I'll always take an improved set of numbers. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Healy Arms Report post Posted April 5, 2017 Oh - that pound... It's gone. A couple of grilled chicken and salad days handled it. Piece of cake - Back on track. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MuggyMan Report post Posted April 11, 2017 The good: averaging 4.9 miles a day walking (up from 3.6 miles/day in March); had some good HIIT cardio workouts, and a really good day lifting. The not-so-good: was off the nutritional program 3 days while traveling. My weight stayed the same for the week. So I feel good about physical training, and need to get better about what I eat whenever traveling. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
