Hey @anthonys735 appreciate you breaking down how easy meal prepping is. Got my ass in gear.

How do you prepare your sweet potatoes? I’ve had them before but never made them myself, other than cubing them up and grilling them wrapped in foil on the BBQ

Lol. Typically just microwave them for 3 minutes in a wet paper towel. Rotate and mic for 2 more minutes.

Made my typical ground beef but mixed with my favorite Buffalo sauce. Mixed that with white rice. Fire.

Went to the doctor yesterday and was told "Whatever you are doing, keep it up!" That's a nice change of pace. This year is the first year I've stuck with the basics for more than just enough to lose a few pounds and hit a temporary goal. It has been a game changer across the board. My mood, marriage, and bloodwork have been the biggest benefactors thus far.

I turn 45 in approximately 18 months. I will probably take some time before New Year to set a select few goals I want to hit before that day. One thing I know is that from now on I will be doing full body weight workouts three times per week, walking as much as possible, and eating like an adult until I leave this mortal coil (or go on vacation).

Now my shoulder is hanging because I'm a dumbass throwing catch with G. I know better and still did it. So no press shit for a week or so.

Brax was ahead of time on the girl style elbow throw.

I hear you Anth. I somehow according to a really good physio ended up with a rotator cuff injury that I don’t remember receiving. Haven’t been able to do pull ups comfortably for like 4 years before seeing this guy and finding out what was wrong and getting on a plan.

Today:
Run
Physio
Skull crushers
Overhead press 195x3 x 5
Seated dumbbell curls 65s x 6 x 3
Good Mornings

Nice and quick!

Since end of summer, been doing a full body rountine 4x a week. With the addition of a trainer last month, paired it down to 3 days - push, pull, legs. Absolutely murdered the stems for the first time since August and have to say, I’ve missed the soreness of sitting down and standing up from the commode.

Least amount of days lifting since I really committed to it 20 years ago but in short amount of time, see the benefit of less is more when going heavy.

Plan on running this routine as closely as possible until March, then move to split body parts to chisel.
