So last week I only got in one actual gym trip which worried me seeing as Thanksgiving was happening and my wife is an amazing cook who goes all out for us that day. So after keeping my portions in check last week and still enjoying the hell out of Thanksgiving food and eating desserts, I managed to keep myself down to only gaining one pound over that week's starting weight.

I got some yard work done and played some hoops with the kids so I am figuring that helped keep the calories burned.

Got back to the gym last night did intervals on the treadmill and knee held up fine so I got in about 50 minutes. After the treadmill, I decided to hit the pecs. I looked up some inner chest workouts and tried to incorporate them into my routine.

4 sets flat bench
4 sets incline dumbbell
4 sets of single-arm cable crossovers
4 sets of plate presses
4 sets of tricep rope pulldowns

I am moving from a mass gaining workout to kind of a maintaining phase with lighter weight and lots more sets reps until I hit my goal weight then I will start chowing down again in order to bulk up.

Lat pulldowns sets of 8 to failure @237.5lbs (12 sets)

20oz protein shake
7oz spinach
1 cup blueberries

Didn't get to run because I have a son sick home from school. Didn't get to eat because marital stress kills my apatite.
 
20-30 minutes on a heavy bag with 4 oz gloves can do wonders for many kinds of stress. :teeth
 
Fighting an annoying cold. Havent worked out much and its killing me. I wanna suck it up and just go but i dont have the energy or desire. :(

Next week isnt going to be any better. Heading to CA for the week with zero time to exercise. Every night theres something going on. :/
 
Mornings ;)

Heading for Hawaii on Saturday. Gonna keep up training as much as possible while we're there. Definitely gonna yoga and get some hiking/trail running.

I'm really fighting the blues right now so everything seems harder, but reading this thread and watching the success of my peers gives me the little bit of stoke I need. Thanks for keeping it alive.

Put 2000 yards in the lap pool in about an hour and then dragged the kids around the warm water pool till my quads gave out.

Ate their pizza crusts after.

Also bought 50 swims that gave to be used by March 1st. I’m going to schedule them all. The goal is to use every one before they expire.

Repeat after me: I will not fall off this winter. I will not fall off this winter. I will not fall off this winter....

I won’t tell anyone how you can txt with both hands and feet on the row machine Beau....

Bench 7 sets
Cable Crossover 5 sets
Cable extensions 5 sets
Skull Crushers 5 sets

Total time: About 60-70 minutes.

Generally, I keep the set count down to 20-25 and workout time to about 60 minutes or less. For me, doing much more to too much volume since I workout 5-6 days a week.

Even when motivation wanes, discipline should kick in. No doubt how you mentally feel can affect a workout, but getting in an doing it generally helps you feel better about whatever the problem is.

I actually was depressed when I couldn't work out.
 
Hang in there Beau....... I have those same highs and lows and when I am low it is hard to make it to the gym and to go through the whole routine. Maybe find something you enjoy and take a break from the grind of working out. I know you like other activities I think I remember surfing and soccer somewhere in this thread. Do those for a few days and see what happens. When I started playing basketball with the kids it really upped my enthusiasm for going back to the gym.

So much this. Working out is the best way to deal with major stress, it reduces the chemicals in your brain that contribute to feelings of depression.

No matter how lousy I feel, once I'm inside a gym, instinct takes over.

Hang in there Beau, things will get better.
 
Agree with you guys. When don’t feel like working out, I drag myself to gym and just do a light workout. It really helps my mindset as I feel I’ve accomplished something.

But I’m not perfect so sometimes I just say fuck it.

Beau, you know the deal with burnout/ workout depression. Change something and give a new challenge. Reading your workouts, IMO, it's time...
 
Was back to the gym this week after a two week break - first week was kind of planned with the pet sitting I was doing, the second week not so much - my chronically ill (but young) cat crashed and ended up passing away, and I was mostly a wreck - followed by the holiday (which I did nothing for, but didn't want to, either).

This week picked up where I left off, and am paying for it in DOMS - well, everywhere LOL.

Still not quite 100% back to my normal eating plan, taking steps on getting that back to where it should be. Monitoring the scale to be sure I'm not letting things slide too much though.
