I'm still plugging along. Ran 3 miles and did a bicep workout last night. I'm putting together a run schedule based off different things I've read on-line. I may run a 1/2M this May. Most of the on-line workouts are geared toward people half my size and who run 5-6 days per week. lol I am modifying it for a normal all-around fitness workout incorporated with my weight training. Something most runners consider a no-no. :) This way, when I finish the race, I can snap'em in half. ;-)

Running Circuits in the mornings Monday, Wednesday, Friday. Lifting Everyday after work. Just being as active as I can on the weekends.
Down a pant size, up a shirt size and gained 10 pounds since November. Set a Pull-up PR last night with 20 in a row, pretty happy with that. 5'11, 240 never felt so good!

I've been juicing and doing medium stress gym workouts daily. Lost 12 pounds from my sorry state in the attached photo. I want to look decent for my marriage in two weeks in China. Had plantar fasciitis for 2 1/2 years which ended all running, along with heart ablation & pinched neck nerve. Thus the gut in photo. Recently healed up enough to finally return to some type of gym regiment. But I've dialed the intensity down to whatever doesn't cause pain. Diet is where I need the most effort because as I continue to lose, I can workout harder.

This morning's circuit: it was a good one! Burned around 700 calories, at least that is what My Fitness Pal told me. I'm still consuming less than my calculated calories and trying to eat 50% Protein, 30% Carbs and 20% Fat. My knees cannot take much pounding anymore so the lunges and squats are bodyweight only for me. I also sub in steps for lunges quite often.

Bench 2 sets AMAP
4 laps
Shoulder Press 2 sets AMAP
4 laps
Squat 2 sets AMAP
4 laps
Lunge 2 sets AMAP
4 laps
Hang Cleans 2 sets AMAP
4 laps
Deadlift 2 sets AMAP
4 laps

Ran on Sunday morning. Followed by military press. Grapple tonight and should have time to deadlift before practice.

I haven't lost any weight, but have cleaned up my diet and am moving in the right direction.

A lady at work has one and she likes it. I have been thinking about one, but I don't think I would be diligent enough to enter all my food in an app. She entered food for about a month and stopped.

I've been skiing my ass off these days. I have routinely worked out hard in the gym the past 6 months and find skiing to work my legs harder than any squat/lunge/jogging/stair stepper routine ever has. While a 250lb squat may make it difficult to sit on the toilet seat for the next 4 days, I find that skiing just works more muscles. Of course there's nothing wrong with good old fashioned gym time!

This morning's grind. Note - the running equals out to two-miles and is on an indoor track. All lifts are two sets w/30 second rest between and As Many As Possible (Failure makes you better/stronger/tougher). This Circuit should take between 45 and 60 minutes depending on how hard you get after it.

Upright Rows
4 laps
Bent Rows
4 laps
Lateral Raises
4 laps
Front Raises
4 laps
Shrugs
4 laps
Cable Crunches
4 laps
Dragon Flags

Today's afternoon Power Session (Push Day) - All 3 sets x Reps 10, 6, 2 = 50%, 75%, 90% of max on all lifts. I try to get through all this in 90 minutes, usually not an issue if I don't get a jaw workout in between sets.
Bench
Overhead Press (Military)
Squat
Pushdowns
Incline DB Press
Kneeling KB Overhead Press
Leg Press or Scissor Squats
Skull Crushers
Hanging Leg Raise or Med Ball Sit Up to Standing - AMAP in 2 minutes.
