In my fitness journey I encountered an #lgbtq #zwift club and I thought "Hey, let's join their Zwift Racing League team. Sounds fun right?

A. It's an amazing amount of fun, if you can, I recommend it, zwift is ok on its own, but it's so much more than ok, amazing in fact, when you have friends to ride with.

B. I am not a Cat B racer, I am Cat C, keeping up is hard, real hard, but every day I get a little fitter, a little faster, and I climb the finishing ranks one spot at a time.

C. Looking at like, overall states and category power comparisons, it's obvious that it's the weight holding me back. Unfortunately I know going on a deficit is going to gradually tank my performance, but I'm okay with that, because once I get back to maintenance I'll be fitter than ever. πŸ™‚

D. Has anyone upgraded their Zwift Hub with the single sprocket and click shifting yet? If so, how are you liking it?

Weights on a barbell of the Smith Machine. There are two black/orange plates on, a 5 kilo and 2,5 kilo one. In the back are the other plates available. Some day, one day, I may need to use the 20 kilo plates. Some day!

I did my best again today! Just a small round with Arwen left... So I'll probably just hit the 33k. I've kit heard anything of my downstairs neighbors, so I do hope they aren't disturbed by my walks on the mill. 😊
Very happy with yesterday's (34k) and today's steps.
Tomorrow and Thursday will be a bit harder to get more steps in. But hey, I got the mill so let's crush this! πŸ’ͺ🏼

Samsung Health share of October 10th 2023. 32.538 steps. 22,51 km. 1.185 kcal. 1 stairs (I did 10 minutes on the climbmill but it doesn't count that, due to me holding the bars for stability).

OK got my rower out again. I'm aiming for 10 minutes. Will be going slow to build it up. Yesterday I had 250 strokes in just under 9 minutes. Today I'll aim for time.
Let's do this! πŸ’ͺ🏼

An arm curl machine in the colors orange and black, the gym's colors. It has a seat and upper arm rest and a handle that you need to pull towards you to curl your biceps. Which sounds a lot easier than it is (for me at least).

Starting with my morning steps with an incline of 5%. It's still dark out, as it's 3:15am here. But I'm alone in the gym and loving that! Yay for the 24/7 opening times we have. Me = loving it 🧑

I had two days now of +35k steps. Both days I needed to sleep in the afternoon. Shows I will need to train loads more to get to the 54k steps (40km).
But I have some more time.
Getting a very heavy IBS flare yesterday afternoon and evening didn't help...
Except for my weight as I lost 2 kilo's almost overnight... πŸ˜₯
Let's hope I can keep the weight off though.

Feels like I started training already πŸ˜‚
An hour walking on the treadmill, 6k with Arwen and I just went to the supermarket...
I'm even browsing treadmills for at home so I can train during the winter without breaking a leg or something πŸ˜‚

Screenshot from Samsung Health. It shows my steps for the last week with green bars. A grey bar for yesterday as I didn't get to my goal (11500 of 13500). But today I got to my goal easily! It shows 27.565 steps, good for 20,59km, 1.156 calories and two stairs. Then it shows more green bars for the hours in which I made most and lesser steps.

Getting closer to the bottom... Am at 175lbs/79kg now.
Only three more weights to go till I've reached the bottom πŸ˜‰
But that'll take me some time, as the lowest weight, the highest one as well πŸ˜‰, is 220lbw/100kg. So that'll need some more training for sure.
This is definitely one of my best exercises, especially for my legs.

Legday. I always struggle. Several hip and pelvic surgeries make my right leg a little less steong than the left one. I only do leg day once a week as it has a huge impact on my legs. But every Saturday (or Sunday) I try to focus on my legs. 😊

Let's do this! 🦡🏻🦡🏻
