🧘🏼‍♂️🤾🏻‍♀️Getting Sweaty Again: The 3rd Circuit 🚴🏼‍♂️🏋🏼‍♀️

[85Ironman]

It's been a good stretch of continuous exercise days for me, and I'm down a couple more pounds so I'm super happy. I got out on the bike for the last 4 days, two hard rides, two easy recovery rides and am feeling good about my progress on getting up the hills in my neighborhood. Next week I start to commute to work, which I'm super excited about.

Nice effort! Stay on it!

Hardest week to bang out, but I made it! Completed week 12, finishing the week with Triceps and Shoulders. For the next few days I'll just be doing abs and cardio, and then I'm off on a trip for 3 weeks eating pretty bad, but there will be lots of walking and cobblestones so I should be breaking even

Lifted yesterday and about to head out for a long run. I'm dreading the scale. But if I am the same or less than last week, I'll be happy. It's the worst feeling to see it go up!

Bike ride in the mist yesterday did 11 miles…

painted a room in the afternoon. Surprised how physical painting is for shoulders.

The dr was very pleased with how my surgery went Friday.

I was pretty miserable Saturday- anesthesia hangover.

Think I’m feeling better today.

I got my first bicycle commute in! It's been 13 years since the last time I rode a bicycle to work. It was excellent. I spent some time last week setting it up, dropped off clothes at a local cleaner to be pressed and ready so all I had to carry was shoes, undies, coffee and breakfast. Made good time on the 5.5 mile run each way. I'm now much more enthused about going back to work in the office! View attachment 2176245

Sometimes it's better to focus on the process, rather than focus on the progress. Get your tasks done each day and over time, the results will follow.

Jiu jitsu tonight. My opponent was a 6'6", 310 pounder. It was like wrestling with a schoolbus.

 

[85Ironman]

So with a sport like that are their weight classes or is it just luck of the draw?

For tournaments there are classes and divisions.

For class it's luck of the draw. But learning technique against all sizes and levels is part of the sport and any practical real world need for application.

I’ve managed to work out every day during chemo. It’s not fun, but it is happening.

 

[AlpineFresco]

I haven't done much since I wiped out on my bike a short while ago, and left quite a lot of skin on the cyclepath. I hope to start up again in the next week!

I’ve managed to work out every day during chemo. It’s not fun, but it is happening.

I kind of lied. It’s fun to still lift weights while other people complain about their truly insignificant problems. I’m strong. I can do this. My workouts have actually prepared my body for this challenge and I’m so thankful I have that base strength to keep me going. I’m taking a break today but I’m well on track for my weekly goal of purposeful activity.

I think I have permanent shin scars from the pedals. Alpine it takes time to get that road rash cleaned up.

Started stretches and exercises for rotator cuff issues. As I've dealt with rotator cuff pain and surgery before, there isn't much pain this go around. I've decreased my usual upperbody work to a few exercises like biceps curls and decreased the load to two pounds. Still walking 20+ miles per week. Cut out the full plank from core exercises for now.

Hiya all Sweatsters! Trying to get back into the groove after a month long detour

Good workout day today, 13 miles of cycling total, which is a new daily max for me. I'm getting stronger on the climbs which I'm super stoked about. I hope you all had wonderful Mondays!!

Back and triceps tonight.
BJJ last night. That 310 lb., 6'6" monster again.

 

[Lady2020]

Fyi, don't fall asleep on a heating pad.

 

[AveryElle]

Still managing to workout most days since chemo. Treatment builds, so I’m really, really hopeful that the cumulative effects don’t keep me down the further along I am. I’ve been doing cardio at home and getting to my trainer twice a week.
I feel really lucky that all of my side effects are mild enough that I can still do something. Especially because the steroids make you hungry!! I had no idea many cancer patients gain weight during treatment. Just my luck, right?

#averyelle, that's so good! I hope your treatment goes well, good for you for staying active!

I was able to commute to work on the bicycle three out of five days this week. I'm super stoked about being able to get a workout in instead of spending 45 minutes sitting in a car every day.
