Glad you got some good rest! Yes, take care of your back. If it hurts in a bad way, i would discontinue the bowflex.

Happy to hear you got some sleep. Sounds like you're doing well, except the pain. Hope that gets figured out and goes away real fast. Boots muscle is always welcomed! 😉✔

Yes I am changing things around and will work out a more rounded routine excluding the bowflex. better to not have to fix things. got a nice workout on the total gym and may do another round later. thanks Jengetfit, Kikibee and Becc@. life is good!

Yes - you have done well. My trainer once said over training can cause insomnia because your metabolism gets too active - just a thought since you say you are doing more cardio

Good job, I think you are doing the right thing. I am close to raising my goal weight too. So I totally understand. I really DO need to do it, but I am being stubborn right now...

I am glad you did sleep better, I did too 🤗

So happy that you are feeling better - just out of curiosity if you get up at 3am what time do you go to bed? Best of luck getting your exercise program honed so you don't overdo - if anybody can hone it, you can!

thanks Adef, it is hard to adjust to the new mindset and I think having the blue line will help me readjust my thinking better. it is hard to get out of diet mode. plus it might help with people thinking I am still dieting when I am in maintenance mode. you don't have to raise your goal weight but put it at a reasonable level which you average out at now. you really can't get lower without damaging your weight work results. If I wanted to diet my remaining fat out I would have to go another 8 to 10 pounds and no way am I going that low. it is not healthy for me in my current situation. fat will go as the muscle develops.

Nikeit I am tired early in the afternoon and tend to hit the bed around 7 to 7;30. I sometimes nod off by 8 sometimes it is 9. I watch tv until I go to sleep. we have always been early to bed early to rise type people

Thank you, I have to admit that I love my blue line, it's why I don't change my goal weight. 😀

Okay - now i get it - I couldn't imagine how sleeping until 3am was sleeping in - I always used to be the other way around where I was up all night and went to bed around 3 or 4am - so glad you got some good sleep!

@baskington - Yeah over these next three days I will see if I drop any weight on my 'no solid food fast'. If I don't I think my body is saying 'stop'. Ok fine, I will stop. Buut I think I may raise it from 165 to 168 rather than the 170 that it probably should be...

adef you probably should be in the 175 range with muscle but it is only a number. the important part is to think about is your fat level. the body needs a certain percent to protect your internal organs. you are at that point where you need to be more careful not to risk damage there. just food for thought. do a little research on that.
