Trops Diary

This morning I was roughly the same weight, 101.4, so I guess I wasn't that bad when all was said and done.

Tonight I didn't have much time, so I hit the gym fast and hard. I got 255 on the bench press, so I guess it's time for a new goal. :hurray: I'm thinking 275 is the next goal.

101.4? You're skinny :p

Nice work on the BP.
 
Umm... Obviously I made a typo. That should be 201.4 :blush5:

The rain is holding off so it looks like I'll be running here in a little bit. :cheers2:
 
Thanks, Karl, you have a great one, too. I'm not going to stress too much over things. They are what they are. I'm planning on having a great time. I know the kids will, and that's where I get a good amount of my own joy. :cheers2:
 
OK, I went out for a run. Didn't do so well, but not so badly considering I haven't run since Thanksgiving. I ran 5k in 27 min and 12 sec. I did the first mile in just under 8 minutes, but then I started having side stitches, so I slowed down. By the time I finished I felt like I could have gone further. I would have kept going, except that I know I have a habit of pushing it too far, so I stopped.

I did do some chin ups right after, and I got 9 real good ones. My best so far. :D
 
Wow, no updates since Wednesday. I guess the holiday is my excuse this time.

I have not been to the gym or running or anything, so nothing to update there, but my weight did come up to 202.8 over the holidays. Not surprising considering the stuff I ate, but it's not so bad, either.

My Father in law is getting into town this afternoon, so I'll be starting it all up again. We're not making a big dinner or anything, but it will be another all day grazing thing.

I do have hopes of getting to the gym today, but right now my wife is sick, so that might be stymied. It seems like she might have gotten the stomach but that the kids had Tuesday and Wednesday. Not good. I was feeling like I might have something last night, but this morning I'm feeling pretty good, so hopefully I dodged it.
 
Hey Trops. I hear ya on the "grazing"! Arg... food commas! Hope ya get to the gym today, and likewise hope you dodged that stomach bug. My Daughter had it Christmas day, and I think my youngest has it today...
Hit it hard if you make the gym!
 
Hey Trops, sorry to hear about your wife... my husband and youngest have been flirting with this flu bug for the past few days. So far, neither one has really gotten it though. Hopefully you won't either and your wife will get better quick!

Sounds like your holidays are like most of ours... full of good food and loved ones! Glad you're not beating yourself up about the food and just enjoying it all! Like you told me, the few pounds you gain will come off quick cuz they're new pounds lol! Here's hopin'! :cheers2:
 
Sounds like you had a good holiday and are back on track to greet the new year. My parents and a few of their coworkers came down with the stomach bug and Step and I have so far dodged it aswell.

You are a machine!! I swear there is nothing you can't do!! Keep it up!!
 
Well, I did not dodge the stomach bug. It hit me pretty hard yesterday morning. I will not go into any details, but I am not doing any exercise till it's completely out of my system.

On the plus side, I didn't eat anything yesterday due to the bug, so today I was down to 201.2. Not the prescribed method, but I'll take it.
 
Good grief! I'm so sorry you and your lovely wife are ill :(

I feel ya on the no running--Xmas was the first time I remember running since TG as well! I have a slight cold that only bothers me first thing in the morning and at the end of the day, but I have still been out partying :party: We will both recuperate and be back in the saddle as far as cardio goes! YAY!
 
Thanks, I am feeling better, and might get some real food in me today. I'm not 100% but hopefully I'll be out running tomorrow. I got a new Ipod and want to try it out. :D

Sorry it hit ya Trops. Hope tomorrow sees you pounding the pavment!! I was "better" today, and got in the gym.... just what the doctor ordered! Enjoy the new i-pod, and maybe think about posting TROP'S PLAYLIST. I'm damn curious to see what pumps up the mighty T!! :D
 
Thanks, JZ. Food was way off today. I had hoped to be better, but tonight I just wasn't feeling right on the inside, so I just had Greek yogurt with some peanut butter and jelly mixed in. I had planned on making a beautiful pumpkin and mushroom risotto, but it didn't happen. I still have the ingrediants for tomorrow.

Speaking of playlist, Valerie reminded me that I'm missing some Primus from my playlist. I'll be adding Tommy the Cat later. Killer bass. :cheers2:
