Actually pretty excited ... I think I've really made some progress. Injured my knee though again yesterday and couldn't workout legs yesterday very much. This is VERY frustrating. Not in the habit of being injured and none of it has anything to do with working out or sports, just a stupid slip and fall!!! Anyway, got a few more pix about which I am totally stoked!
Decided at 47 after 2 shoulder surgeries it was about time to get into the best shape of my life. Several friends were raving about this new guy in town (Brad) and so I signed on for a transformation (a retrofit) of my body. This is a little journal about my exploits!

Week 50 (cont'd)
I'm pretty excited. I have managed to do cardio every day now for the past 7 days. It has consisted of riding my bike for 8+ miles per day. Also sticking to the no booze rule AND am pretty good about watching diet. I took a couple of quick pix and just had to post them ....

Week 50
2 more weeks! Getting close to turning over pix to Brad. I have committed to a healthy diet SOLIDLY for the next two weeks as well as daily cardio (oy, to find the time). I have biked daily for the past 4 days. It's raining outside but supposed to stop later but I work till about 9 tonite so it might be kinda tuff. Perhaps a little jog if my knee holds up or maybe just a brisk walk for 1/2 an hour. Low carbs, lotsa protein with healthy meats fruits and veggies for the next week. Okay, here we go!

Week 47
Great news! Right knee is cleared by ortho so I can get back to using it ... slowly. Brad only did upper body again today cuz we weren't sure what the status was going to be so did mostly chest and some abs and tri's. Shoulder started acting up when we tried those exercises so we just opted on a pass. In looking at the pix they're pretty good. Sticking with the diet fairly well and plan on a great weekend in Chicago coming up. That means that next Monday I won't be working out with Brad on Monday (perhaps Tuesday or other???) but there won't be any post next week. However, that week marks the 11th month I've been at this so in approx 5 weeks I will have been at this for a year. If I continue to show improvement I think I'll let Brad show off the pix to see my progress at 52 weeks. Anyway, here are this week's pix

Week 46
Just got back from So Cal. Got in 1 "kinda" workout while out there (34 mile casual bike ride from Redondo to Venice and back). Got back at 3 this morning and made it to my 1030 workout. Not the best workout I've ever had but after a week of breakfasts at Uncle Bill's it was a requirement. Knee feels great. Hopefully will get the all clear next Monday from my Ortho. So here are the pix:

Week 44
Apparently there was a bit of a miscommunication between Brad and me last week because when I showed up today I was informed that my spot had been given away! :-( So today I was left working out with my new trainer Isaac. He took numerous breaks though and I won't be using HIM again (apparently he just wasn't FELINE it today ... lol). So here's my workout and the pix below.
lat raises 15# X 20 x 1 warmup set then 25# x 20
x 3 sets
lying str8 leg raises 25 x
3 sets
4 pump + 1 incline
press 25# x 3 sets
bent over row + 1
overhead press 25# x 3 sets
flat bench flyes 25#
x 3 sets
Gotta start dieting better. Need to be shredded for Market Days!
