Day 22 & 23

Rides in Vietnam

 

Day 21

Ride in Vietnam. 

Update

Well now. Haven't worked out in two weeks which is of good.   But I've decreased my BF % n weight, which is  cool 

Day 20

Went for an awesome bike ride last Saturday.  And what has happened here?  Let's see, new job and not feeling the work out routine. And that has to change pronto.  The thing is is that I have taken time off and its not helping on the path.  Eating is off and is my general health - though the cold that I have has little to do with working out - or does it.  Food for thought. 

So, goals this week include:  1.) Eating clean 90% of the week.  2.) Three workouts - light weights  3.) Hydrating

This new place that I work has no AC and I'm recognizing that I'm definitely not getting enough to drink during the day. 

Time to make some lunches for the week.

Check this out - Epic.  Huge props to the crew in the vid and the sick trails they designed.


 

Thoughts on a page

Well now.  I've turned fifty and its okay.  Now that I sit here and think about it - which I haven't really that much - is that for fifty I'm in okay shape.  Let me look around and I can tell you that many of my peers have settled into middle age with a focus on getting by.  I'm worried about my health and the fact that body fat percentage increase translates to all types of issues as you get older. 

So, I mountain bike, paddle board, road cycle, used to run by no more due to the foot, and workout.  Now the workouts have become more frequent of late.  19 days into to the cycle of working out with weights and pairing it with a cardio day.  What I recognize too is that my diet is essential in seeing any significant change in the shape of my body.  I can already see my shoulders starting to develop, but my abs are encased yet to be broken free. 

I sit here and think that I want to be in super shape.  I have to keep my eye on the target, eat right, workout consistently with focus, and then do it again.  I'm on the path and it feels awesome.

Day 19

Just finished a shoulder bicep workout and it feels funny typing.  Odd.  My biceps are spent.  All good.  Again following the HP program. 

Looked like this:

Wide Grip Chest Press    20
Incline DB Press             20
Lateral DB raise              10
DB Side Swings              10

Day 18

Forgot to post yesterday.  Went for a mountain bike ride.  5.3 miles in the woods.  My technical skills have improved, as I made it over these rock paths that I've never passed before.  Feel great.  I have to figure out a way that I can continue into November.

 

Day 17

It's been six days since I last worked out?  Hmm.  Started a new job on Monday and I think that might be a role in not getting in the workouts.  Not ideal, really.  The thing that I need most right now is an outlet for the general stress of a new job.  So be it.

Today I did a very intense, focused routine for my shoulders and shoulders only.  Have to stay, the shoulder routine is my favorite.  Call me vain but my shoulders really reveal themselves in the shortest amount of time. 

I've had bursitis in my elbow and a wonky shoulder - and I find that working out has sent messages to these two ... there just letting me know that they're there.  Not a problem.

More work today, hang with Mrs., and go for a mountain bike ride.
