Good morning,
 
Pleasantly surprised that I'm not sore apart from my lower back muscles from ab work. Slightest soreness in arms and shoulders. So I'll bump up to 8 lb weights
 
I have a busy day outside taking care of plants pipes and the pool.
 
Goals:
Walk 3 miles on treadmill
Focus on legs and back
Ab work.
 
Haven't even thought about my food for the day, but I know boiled eggs are on my menu.
I have definitely lost weight. I will weigh on Friday as I can't stand the suspense!
 
What are your goals today?

I walked down to the pool and back this morning at 4am for a 30 minute walk. I measured the distance with my truck as I was heading out for work and it came to exactly 2 miles. So I've been walking at least 2 miles every morning this week so far. And definitely cutting out the junk food has helped as well. I'll weigh myself Friday morning also. 4951

Just covered plants and took pup for a quick walk. Now to clean the pool and shock so it runs 24 hours. I have three massive pots that I need to move towards the brick wall with my dolly. I could use four hands but I think I can get them somewhat protected or not....
 
Then onto the gym after some ab work. My neck is sore."but that's par for the course having had my two level fusion. Praying that this neck issue won't hinder performance. Chronic pain sucks..but I've learned that it will forever be part of my life! Going to eat some fruit and a couple boiled eggs. Carry on and good day! 4951

@Heathur: Why not try low bar back squats?  Better work for the posterior chain and trunk stability as well.  If you're worried about additional quad development, you can then add front squats.  A 360 squat is vastly different than a 360 leg press.

@analogkid:
 
My legs are the strongest part of my body. I'm able to leg press 360. It's doable but still gives me a workout. My goal is 450 within the next 9- 12 mos. For me, that is obtainable. I do low bar back squats (booty!) as well as lunges, but like you said, a 360 squat is MUCH different than a leg press. I am NOT capable of a 360 squat at this point, lol. When I squat, I have a motto, & it's silly but I try to have fun at the gym while kicking butt. "Squats are like sex. They don't count if you don't go deep!" I try to get my butt 12-15 inches from the ground & I'm scared I'd fall over if I squated that heavy!! lol. My fav machines are leg press & hack squat. I also like Romanian dead lifts because I lift heavier than regular, but I looove regular dead lifts. Those aren't the only workouts I do, just my goals for the day. Emoticon 4951

@Heathur: The legs "should" be the strongest part of anyone's body, given the amount of muscle mass present and the lever lengths available for force transfer.  Good to hear you are incorporating squats as I really think they form the basis of a complete strength training program.  Deep is good, certainly to at least parallel, or below, is usually sufficient.  Going ATG is probably a bit much unless you plan to also do Oly lifting.  I do all of my lifting in my garage (which is fun in the summer), primarily utilizing a heavy gauge steel power rack and a good set of Olympic weights, so no machines.  I would like to get a glute-ham developer and a dip station (which I will probably make).  I've not done RDLs, but am starting to incorporate sumo DLs into my programming to give conventional a bit of a break.  Sounds like you are on a good path.  Keep up the great work!

Felt a good burn Soreness finally set in from yesterday, I've been a lot worse. Forgot how good it feels to work out And how I'm not hungry afterwards for a while. Now on to capitalize on a nice walk with the pup before it get cccccooooooooooold Oh I clocked it from my drive to the front of subd entrance is 1 mile.

@topcat   So glad you are joining in with us. I so wish you and Boobear were members of Golds. We'd knock it out of the park. You going to give up your starting weight? Or just keep us posted on total lbs lost per week.  4951
