I wasn't stellar today, either. I had planned out an exercise program, but only managed two foot rolls with the foam roller. How I discovered that standing up straight without leaning on something has become (more) troublesome. Gonna have to do the foam rolling sitting/lying down until I get some weight off.
Did eat better than usual, though.
Cats, I highly recommend this unit. You can use it for arms or legs and get a very high quality cardio workout. It's an amazingly good machine for the price and only 25 lbs. You might find that, like me, you prefer the arm workout. I just put it on the coffee table and turn on the TV.
According to fitbit I get my heart rate up to about 130 and keep it there, which is perfect for my age. Sadly they have gone up $25 since I bought mine.

Mik, thanks for the thought, but it looks like my rowing machine has that covered.
Not that my rowing machine is getting much of a workout these days.

Cycled 26 miles this morning. A big improvement on the unmitigated horror of last weekend.
It's encouraging that the body seems to adapt and recover so quickly.

Awesome!
I still need to climb into the saddle.

I've done my 3rd walk this week. Getting back into the groove. Hope to do it 4 times next week. Here's my history, dating back to May of 2016. Note the little plateau at November. That's when I started walking.

I ate a salad twice this week.
Woohoo!
In all seriousness, I did run in my new shoes and they were really nice. I look forward to more running. That being said, I have been busy with house hunting, and work, and at my in-laws where I have probably consumed far too many drinks and snacks. So....I'm kind of going in the wrong direction so far.

I haven't weighed myself, but my pants felt a little looser this morning...
Of course, that might be from pollution...

No change. Same-same like last week.
WTG to Phibes for the long bike ride.

I ended up 2lbs lighter after a week.
It turns out that drinking four beers on Friday and Saturday led to me putting on weight. Who knew?

The foam roller stuff is interesting, and makes sense. I usually only use it when I’m having back issues (rolling out my hip flexors - the front of my thighs - really helps my back feel better), but now will start doing it every day.
I’m down three pounds from last week, but probably really only down 2, I was super sick this weekend, a fever and a terrible migraine, and couldn’t keep anything down. (Still feel a little queazy).
Been able to wear a couple pair of jeans that I haven’t fit in for a long while, so that’s good. Have a whole closet full of clothes that I look forward to being able to wear again, even if they aren’t the latest fashion.

Down a pound from last Monday. That makes 11 pounds since I started this the first of February, (8 since we started TNCR challenge on March 1st). I had a beer with dinner last night (grilled chicken, green beans and a whole grain rice mix), first one in awhile. Funny thing was, I didn’t feel like I had been missing anything, and am now just as happy drinking NA beer. I have a lot more weight to lose, I’m going for 45 pounds total, and am giving myself a year to get there. That would put me back at the weight I was in vet school, which would be great.

I am down a couple of pounds. Now that the stomach cramps have settled down I will be able to focus on some exercise and drinking more water. This should help things move along...

25 days of 16 hours per day fasting.
Down 12.5 lbs! Woot!
Now I need to keep the momentum going and start mixing in some freaking exercise.

Down one more pound this week. That’s 12 since Feb 1. Even managed to go out to eat twice, steak sandwich one night, salmon salad the next. I just have to plan, and be really careful the rest of the day. And best thing happened this morning, put on a pair of pants that were comfortable in January and took them off because they are now too big. Yay.

Woohoo! I am down a pound this week, too. I am getting the bicycle out this week.
