Yesterday was my birthday so planned to take the day off. Ended up getting a bit of a walk to and from dinner I treated myself to- good thing as it appears that I can finally call my wife 'Ex' and was processing that. Today it's rainy and cold like my mood, so huddling inside.

I’ve been doing fairly inconsistent workouts in my home gym over the past few months and not really making any progress. Part of it is that I’ve put together my own routine and I get bored easily so I tend to take one extra rest day, which turns into two, which becomes a week.
So last weekend I decided to put up some money as a motivator, and hopefully get a decent routine.
I bought one of the Athlean-X training programs, as I often use the guy’s YouTube videos for ideas on my own workouts. Picked up the athlete one, as it focuses on weight loss, endurance training, and basic muscle building (but not focused on getting super bulky or anything like that).
I’m one week in and so far it’s working great. I’m able to do everything at home, which is really important as my time is very limited and if I have to drive to a gym I’ll never end up doing it.
I like the variety and the way the Athlean-X trainer explains stuff, so I don’t think I’ll get bored with it. The whole thing cost me $100 for “lifetime” access (I.e. I’m going to back everything up on my computer), and the full program runs 12 weeks.
I’ve committed to myself to get through the entire program without slacking off, even if I end up hating it partway through.
So you best keep posting, or we will wonder if you did stroke out.I'll either see the benefit or stroke out. I'll try and keep you guys posted!
Got a 4.5-mile run in this morning.
Weighed in at ~183, which is the lowest since October, although still 18 pounds above my goal.
The BMI recommendations feel bizarre. I am just under 5'11" (starting to shrink maybe). I weight 190lbs. The lowest I have weighed since college is 180lbs. At that I look pretty fit. The idea that I should be 165 lbs (appropriate BMI for my height) is sort of ridiculous. Maybe 175 I could see. But that's a stretchSo personal question if you don't mind? How tall are you? Reason I ask relates to discussions I've had with my doctor about weight, which seem to be completely unreasonable. For example, I'm 6'3" tall, and I weigh around 185 pounds, give or take a few pounds either way. My doctor seems to think I should weigh 165 (!) which is nearly impossible for me, considering the weight lifting and ice hockey that are my exercise routine. I feel pretty fit overall (well getting back to it after knee surgery anyway) so I don't worry about what the doctor says about weight anymore...

Me too... I know I need to, and then I don't. The daylight is lasting longer here though, so I have more of a chance to go out a bit later.Today - I did eight loops in the AM. I had to stop due to a heart flutter and bp issue. Safer than sorry right?
A few hours later, I went out again. I seemed heart stable. So I did 14 loops. I am tired, but it worked. I need to get consistency going again,
Hope you and your family feel better soon, bleys21 .
