No weight training, but 40 min dog walk, 60 minutes tennis serves combined with jump rope intervals 1 min x3. Some sun, grilling. Calories about 2,300 per day average.

I’m hoping this approach is shrinking the waistline (still 38" btw).

I have been better wit the overall calories this week, somewhere in the 2200-2300 range daily, pretty high protein, 30-40%. Some shit calories, of course.

Yesterday I walked the dogs a bit and did KB swings (20-30 reps, 50lbs) and push ups for about 4 rounds. Nothing too intense. My back felt it a little later.
