Challenges

A good end to a good week. Food was good all week, although I didn't lose as much as I'd like, I was up to 222.4 lb this morning so I'm only down 1/2 lb this week. I need to walk more.

Food yesterday:
Calories: 1779
Protein: 29.5%
Carb: 27.3%
Fat: 43.2%

Unfortunately, my knee is still giving me problems. For some mysterious reason, I wake up in the morning and my knee is sore. I don't know what the heck I'm doing to it. But points for me, I go to the gym anyway. And do the workout as best I can. Actually, the only exercises that were a problem were the leg press and the bodyweight squat. I did the movements but not to full ROM. You do what you can. The exercise that was the real challenge though was the single leg hip thrust. I have a serious imbalance between my left and right sides. The left was signficantly harder than the right. I got all the reps in but barely.

Here's the full workout:
BB romanian deadlift 65# x 1 x 12, 75# x 2 x 8

Unilateral leg press 20# x 3 x 10
Unilateral db push press 15# x 3 x 6

Cable face pull 15# x 3 x 15
Unilateral hip thrust BW x 3 x 8

And the cardio finisher for 5 minutes -
BW squat  10 reps (4 rounds)
DB uppercut 5 reps (4 rounds)  - total fun. Love these.
DB tight rotation 10 reps (3 rounds)

So the day was full of challenges but failure was not an option so those challenges were overcome. Booyah!
