Welcome Daisy! Sorry I missed you before. Thanks for commenting.

Squats were my LEAST favorite part of working out when I had a personal trainer in 2006. Ouch, I’m in pain just thinking about it.

I have to ditto what Dave F said - I'm trying to make life changes in my mid 30s and I'm encouraged even more to keep it up. Thanks for being willing to share. Knowing you are working hard and making headway (despite this week) is inspiring. Avlor’s last blog post..Tuna thinks he can hide from my camera…

hmm. That must be why I don’t like push-ups. I don’t want to be a manly girl.

Very cool – first time here and nice to see so many familiar names!

I’ve likely got a gazillion comments, but I’ll leave it at only a few for now:

1) I think measurements and emotional feel (on scale of 1-10 where 10 means you FEEL fabulous) are more important than actual weight. Actual weight can be impacted by something as simple as – I went to the bathroom, or I drank some water, or I’m bloated.
2) I can certainly appreciate both ‘manly’ push-ups, and sit-ups/crunches, however, I’ll add another – full squats (hands/arms go straight down and touch the floor while legs/knees bend and then back up) – these are a killer and shows not only heart/lung capacity, but also strength. It’s a test based on time (how many can you do in x time) and how long can you go for.

I am up 11 pounds! you read that correctly – back to walking 3 miles to 4 miles everyday and hope to be back to swimming next week…I think 5 pounds of it is swelling in my face and most of the rest is swelling around the torn muscle spot in my diaphragm area…It adds so much pressure. No weight lifting or yoga for about 6 weeks…
I am still on soft foods as the swelling is pressing on my stomach area…
This is awful but I am still working on it.. a bit jealous everyone in my book group has lost over 6 pounds since New Year’s Day…Ah me – this kind of the way it goes for me?

You called my bluff! Top man!

I know when I’m too heavy when I can see my own face in my peripheral vision! When that happens you sold get the jump rope out and get dancing.

You’re working too hard Sean!! But I totally understand why.

Thanks for posting your stuff up.

The diagnosis of the muscle problem made me thing ouch and of course I then realised that ‘ouch’ is probably a massive understatement.

Did I read that right? Are you up eleven pounds or is that one point one pounds?

I know you’re working through the pain but I’d like to encourage you to keep at it!!!

Mike, what you say here makes me all the more determined to spend my forties in good physical condition – it would be a great way to spend the decade and a great way to start a new one.
