Can't believe the 50-day holiday challenge is about over. I've had a great time. The bike accident, ankle re-injury, and subsequent time without biking, rowing, walking, or cardio machines slowed my fat loss a bit, but it had the positive effect of making me more gung-ho about my strength training. For a couple of weeks, that's about all I could do.
I'm now cycling again and able to use the elliptical trainer without pain. A long walk is still not possible. That's OK. I've dropped a few more pounds of fat and am maintaining my lead body mass—have even added a small bit of muscle since the challenge began around Thanksgiving.
I'm planning to ride my bike this afternoon, then get back to work.
