Once you get started on the big weights, you’ll wish you’d done it years ago, Welshpoppy. I find it quite addictive 😁 I’ve booked a session the the gym instructor for Tuesday to show me how to set up the barbell on the squat rack. I’d only been shown the Smith machine before and, whilst I like using it, I can’t help but feel like it’s a bit artificial, as the bar is held in position vertically. I want to do proper deadlifting and to know that the squats I do are right because I’ve got the form right. I think I’d topple over sometimes 😁

I have 10 PT sessions (weekly) starting next month
I want to get stronger and will look to see where I am and do heavy with PT at gym and less heavy at home due to being alone and not having too much kit

I also think I need to get my arse on here more!

GimmeMincepies That sounds a good session to have on Tuesday...good luck! I am really excited as I do have a secret dream which involves lifting heavy things :)So that is us both at gym Tuesday!

Indeed I will be glad to get form checked but not lifted a barbell as yet.

Yesterday

13033 steps
34 minute run
2 mile walk
2 litres water
protein 59g...not good enough but a work in progress
In new calorie goal ...nope another work in progress.

All in all could do better ;)

Messaged PT

Told him I almost cancelled due to 2k vet bill but this was too important

Said I want to lift heavy and work damn hard with him then 2 sessions at home where I don’t have the safety net of someone else to help ie can’t lift so heavy.

Then I went for a walk to get my steps in without wearing myself out for tomorrow’s “race”

Some good stats in there, Wp. Sensible not to dwell on the steps too much - you still have done a good number.

Evening

Taking my queue from GM and aiming for 70+k steps a week
Also increase drink at home …. I’ve improved at work but lapse at home
Will also write food down in a non judgemental manner so looking for patterns

April is very busy and seems to have our years worth of socialising this year! So looking for small sustainable improvements this month to go all in for May

Gentle recovery is the way forward, Wp. Have you tried protein shakes? I use whey powder added to either Greek yoghurt or just water to increase protein without too many calories. That could help to keep you feeling satiated.
