Exercise With Us 4/26-4/30/21 Join Us

Missed a day or two of goals last week because of Covid Shot hangover but was back at it yesterday and got in 4 miles on the trails.

M: Working vaccine clinic in the morning, taking a hike with a friend this afternoon
T: Trainer, and taking the bikes to the lakeshore for a long ride.
W: 4 miles on trail with friend
Th: Trainer and a yoga class
F - S - dealers choice - we'll be at our lake cottage and I hope to get out the kayaks, hike around on the NCT a bit, and we'll get lots and lots of yard work done.

I'm joining in with you this week. I woke with a headache this morning so don't plan on starting until tomorrow. Just sort of dipping my toe in the water, so to speak. Good luck everyone with meeting your goals this week!

Hop in!  Sorry about your headache, tomorrow you'll be right as rain!

Working through my Hard Core calendar
Monday- core, glute & Legs, Barre class

I keep meaning to open & join these threads, but keep forgetting.

I am one month into my most recent lifestyle change. I had a checkup after some weird menstrual bleeding in early March and my blood pressure was still high. The OBGYN NP pretty much forced me to make an appointment with a family practice doctor in the same hallway after learning I hadn't seen a doctor in 5 years & my original family doctor retired last fall.

My new FP is giving me 3 months to lose weight to in order to see if my blood pressure comes down or I have to start BP meds. I've changed my diet and have started moving--especially when it dawned on me that I drive by several trails on my way home from work.

So my goal this week was to do trail walks yesterday & today, but missed yesterday after remembering I had an eye appointment. I'm not sure if I can get outside tomorrow because I'll be on a liquid diet for a colonoscopy (my first) on Thursday. Hopefully I feel like walking Friday. I think I'll plan on walking to DS15's baseball game Saturday morning for something different.

My other goal is to finally sign up for some classes next week at a local yoga studio. I won some class passes in a school auction & also took advantage of a special they offered for a month of unlimited classes. I want to try a yoga sculpt class, a Barre class maybe, and also a Fiit class, but they fill up fast.

My younger son (my walking buddy) is heading back to university this weekend (he was on a co-op work term) and my older son (non-walk buddy) just came home for the summer. I’m trying to convert my older son so that I have company on my walks but I may have overdone it with a first-day-back 14K (23,000 steps for me). He kept saying, “we can go a bit farther” without considering that we would have to walk back. He should have known when younger son started smirking and throwing me side-eye. 😆

Other than walking, I’m alternating daily between bike rides and weight training.

Thanks so much!  I'll be back sometime hopefully soon!
