Another health and fitness thread anyone?

Nothing worse than being sick away from home. I hope you feel better soon

Day 28 Update: I'm finally feeling pretty much back to normal. I get these annoying stitches out of my mouth on Monday, and hopefully, it'll be smooth sailing after that.

Last night, I rucked my regular 2.8 miles around the lake as the sun was setting. I raw-dogged it with no music or podcasts—just me and my thoughts.

This morning I hit the stairs pretty hard for 30 minutes then did a quick upper body workout. I went higher weight (for me) and lower reps on the flat bench, skull crushers and incline bench.

I'll be spending the next 2 days scouting some Iowa public land with my buddy and plan on getting plenty of miles on the boots for my workouts.

Since I'll be gone this weekend, I weighed in this morning at 203.1. I'm down about 9.5 lbs in the four weeks, which is slightly ahead of pace for my goal of 20 lbs by the end of Day 75.

 

My legs are finally back. Toughened up. Can run, walk hills, and get after it.

Justin, good luck on the scouting. Find an 80 inch shed!

 

Deadlifts 5 x 3 @275, 315, 360, 360, 360
Pull Ups 3 x 5 @BW
Pulldowns 3 x 12 @165lbs
DB Curls 3 x 6 @40lbs

 

Official Friday weigh in for me had me just shy of thirty-five lbs lost, but post workout(thirty minute HIT followed by an hour on the treadmill) weigh in this morning got me pumped!

 

Great job!!

Day 31 Update.

I went to Iowa this weekend with a friend of mine to scout public land in preparation for hopefully drawing tags in 2026. In two days we walked just shy of 20 miles between 4 different pieces of ground, and didn't even put a dent into what's there. I brought two gallons of water and packed food for myself, so everything was nice and easy.

My calves are cooked from going up and down all of those hills so I skipped the stairs this morning and went elliptical instead. 30 minutes / 3.75 miles followed by dips, chest flies, incline press, skull crushers, cable crunches and side raises.

We leave for Wisconsin Dells on either Thursday afternoon or Friday morning so I'll have to do the same thing with water and meal planning. My workout routine will be to get up early and ruck before the trade show, then go on a regular walk/hike after the show at night.

 

Weather is finally getting better and spring is right around the corner. Figured today was the day to start my daily cardio again after an 6 month hiatus.

Time to get the diet and workouts back on track. I really shouldn’t slack off as much as I do during the winter. My lungs and legs are toast after a 2 mile jog outside.

I rucked 2.75 miles last night even though my legs begged me not to. Gotta do hard stuff sometimes to show your inner sissy who is boss.

This morning, I spent 30 minutes on the stairs, followed by leg extensions, leg presses, and my favorite weighted split squats. For the first time in a while, I loaded up 450 lbs on the leg press, and it felt good. Gotta keep these old man legs strong.

I physically feel fine but I'm still dealing with some lingering lung issues from being sick last week. Wheezing and coughing up some crap when I really get things going. It is what it is!

Oh, and I finally got the stitches out of my mouth yesterday. Talk about one of the most annoying things of all time.

 

The important thing is that you started!
