  • 2 weeks later...

So 13 days until the Vancouver Half Marathon, glad we took the challenge of 13.1 miles on!!!

 

Ok so lately I have not been tracking my food etc so got the old excel spreadsheet and calculated macros etc. I have been not as strict as last year since about the new year mainly due to some stresses like trying apply to stay in Canada permanently, moving and some other stuff. But I am ready to lose a few excess pounds I know I have added some muscle but along with that some excess weight so my goal is to lose 10lbs I have entered the 6 week cellucor challenge on bodybuilding.com.

Excellent Workout as I have not been lifting as heavy recently due to training for Half Marathon , My numbers are a bit low but good news is every week I am increasing.

 

this knot in my shoulder has been giving me grief , so yesterday I had a shiatsu massage on it , its a bit sore today but hoping it will improve.
