baskington's Journal, 29 August 2018

Well I tried to load a picture of me in my workout clothes today and I guess my images even resized are just too large as the small box it allows cuts me down so you can only see my torso. Weird.

I got up tired and sore and yes light headed. Ate a big steak with some extra fat and stretched and stretched. It took a couple hours until I felt decent. I did a couple of my big tanks while I was resting to at least get some work done this morning. Fortunately those are pretty mindless to do.

I got dressed up in the closest things I had to work out clothes and dragged myself to the gym. Forgot to bring water I will not do that again. The water fountain water was horrible when I finally found it.

Did my glutes both inside and outside machine, 10 each in groups of 3 twice then went back to do them when I was done with the other machines I tried. I did the leg press with no weight only 5 times each in the same 3 series. my knee was a little tweeked this morning so I did not push. I have a bad knee that acts up so I have to be careful on that one. and I used the weight bar for balance and did 5 squats in a series of 3 times. I would have liked to try for more but I was still sore from 2 days ago. This one is very difficult for me to do, so it will take time. At least holding on to the bar when I squat I have more control and don't lose my balance.

Then I tried some standing pedal thing. Depending on how I stood on it, it would work my front muscles more or my rear ones. I set it at endurance level and worked the rear more. that one kicked me in the butt well.

I went and played with the little weights again to do the side lifts I don't know what it is called maybe the butterfly and definitely 12.5 is my max and I can not manage to get my arms straight. This is something I work on the total gym at and that one is hard! so while I am clueless to my calorie burn I am counting it at 160 because the one exercise was cardio. My body feels like it was 400! LOL

Even though I have been around 500 to 600 calories under my maintenance level that water weight is sticking around. 128.6 for two days. 1 1/2 pound gain from my 127 and today or tomarrow by my tracking I should hit 126. I know I ate food that I should not have for my food sensitivities, but it was so minor. Cucumbers in mayo and vinegar and coffee with heavy cream. Well I did splurge and have eggs too. They did not seem to bother me.

Have to see how this week goes. I am still so bloated I did not want to show off my tummy anyways. It was nice for a few days to see how much better that area was looking before the bloat. I will just keep working on things and it will eventually come together and surprise me!

yes but I have to squat up and down all day doing tanks and not having my legs strong enough to do it correctly is how I damaged my knee. I have to get my legs working again. Just the couple times at the gym, my calf's are so tight I could scream. Massaging and trying to work out the knots for the next two days. Those muscles just don't seem to want to stretch, life will be a misery in that department until that mess gets corrected. nothing seems to be working

@CrashtestDawnie - I had to not lift so much with my squats and deadlifts. However, I really believe they are the key. When I look at all the people in really good shape at the gym (men and women), they are doing squats.

Yea I can see why you need to push it. Important to build up the muscles you need the most. Best way to avoid further injury I’d think anyway. Adef squats suck. My knees and lower back hurt when I try to do them 😕
