okay, yesterday:
15 curls #20
10 dips bodyweight
7 dips bodyweight
5 dips bodyweight
core exercises 30 seconds each
10 SLDLs (stiff legged dead lifts) partial #276
7 PGDLs (parallel grip deadlifts) #276
6 PGDLs #296
5 PGDLs #316
3 PGDLs #325
various stretching exercises
Today I tried to run (barefoot of course) but it was too cold and I turned around after 2 blocks.

Like you, I've never been able to devote all of my energy and attention to BOTH on the same day, so I try to do the thing that means the most to me first.
And now, off to the gym! No more FT for three hours! Can I stand it?

Aerobics is the best way to loose weight, I been thinking of getting into it, but I rather still lift… 
Not sure what I want to do still…. But I need to start again, haven’t exercised since I returned home…

Did 3 miles on the elliptical, chest and tri's. Managed to add 20# to my bench. ^ The Smith machine was available, so I can puch it a little more. I back off when using a straight barbell.
I saw a good ab workout that I stole from one of the trainers. Balance on your butt with your knees and torso up. Take a medicine ball and touch on the mat as far to the right as you can, staying balanced. Then take the ball to the left. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat. Feel the burn.

I got in a 3 mile barefoot run and yesterday did another weightlifting workout up to #328 on the deads. My PR on the deads has been 333 so I am approaching that on this cycle. Since I'll be out of town and won't be weightlifting it may be awhile before/if I make that.
Still working really hard on barefoot running form.

At your age that's probably okay, Vaze! And when I last saw you, you appeared to be in quite good health.
Last night as I lay in bed suffering from hearburn and esophagitis, I thought to myself that at some point I could be sufferting an MI.
So, in any case, I try to go to the gym every day, which translates into 3 to 5 times a week - not that anyone could ever tell by looking at me!
Happy Holidays!

Try it it's great fun.

Swam last night...800M. I don't like the chlorine level in the pool, but they have to do it with the Blue Hair Splash Class that goes on every other night. 
Hopefully they're wearing their waterproof Grampers.
I've got spin class tonight plus delts.

Hope you are feeling better
But since you are putting this in jest, I hope, at least you did manage to lose some weight
Me, I used a lot of energy these past couple of days, coughing, as my wife gave me a terrible cold
