We are a small group who aim to do some form of physical activity every day, whatever that means for YOU (but don't kid yourself about it either) Daily posts - not manditory, nor even "sternly preferred" - but we love it if you do. Weekly posts, drive-by notes, daily essays all about you.... any of those are perfectly fine - no pressure, EXCEPT to diligently try to add serious movement to your day - every day. Lexicon: WERD = Well Earned Rest Day, but even rest days can include movement ;) TERD = Totally Expected Rest Day, though not especially well-earned, like a planned happy event :D TURD = Totally Unexpected Rest Day, hopefully also a happy event :love: HERD = of TURDS - usually declared after the THIRD TURD in a row. ;) Try to avoid these at all costs, as they can move in & get comfortable, getting OUT of your comfort zone is the way to make change happen If a HERD moves in, we bring out the whip to move it along. https://media.tenor.com/images/5511e...3ac7/tenor.gif If you're checkin-hunting because you're all motivated for a new year (hey! a new DECADE!), then being expected to do something EVERY DAY may be the consistency push you need. NEWCOMERS ALWAYS WELCOME! ** WINTER TIP: Movement keeps you warm without burning fossil fuels. ** ** SUMMER TIP: Just the slightest breeze on sweaty skin feels wonderfully cool.** . |

1/366 (it's a leap year) Well, it's 11:20pm of the 1st, so day 1 is done. dog walk, with Mechamix Aliasing 30min Les Mills - Body Pump 59 48min, with buddy Hope everyone has a fabulous start to their year. |
Thanks for starting our New Year, Helen!
Congrats to Helen & Mena for doing EVERY day in December! I think I will aim for that this month. No workout, yet, but I did just post to December's. |
Monday, I carried stacked firewood. It will be good for your knee dh said. The knee pain made me quit then I had to go in & ice my knee & my boobs. Ouch!
Dog walks & out my sewing room back together. Today has been monitoring Ursella. She's drinking, not eating & looking puny. As long as she keeps drinking I'll keep watching her. Emergency vet is 90 minutes away. I'll have her at her vet when they open at 7 tomorrow. |
Welcome back, Kay! I hope it's nothing serious with Ursula. Don't overdo it!
Today - I did 3 Strong Miles with Leslie followed by Margaret Richard's Unplugged, S20:E1. I haven't done anything by her in ages. My goal is to do longer, if not tougher workouts this year. I have been giving myself a pass way too often. |
Happy New Year All!
I still have to go back and finish reporting for December. (I did every day except the 2 days without power). :)
Goals for this month:
So today's workout: 1/1/2020: Peloton 20 minute treadmill run/walk with Matt. I did my mile (and then some) requirement. Followed up with Emma's Coldplay Ride (on the bike) 30 minutes . I absolutely LOVE :love::love:that ride. Kay: I hope Ur perks up some. I can relate to all of it. Helen: Thanks for getting us started Lili: Consistency is key (more so than intensity - although it's good to have a little bit of intensity each week.) :) Maybe a long session, a tough session and 2 others to your liking and then whatever you want? Waves to Mena and anyone else reading. Must go do the budget. Happy New Year!!! here's to the ROARING 20s. A new decade. Yeah baby! Bring it .... Cleda |
KAY
Welcome home! What's up with Ur? :( What did the vet say? LILI Hope Bridget & I can get up to Delaware on our trip (see below). I like Cleda's suggestion about stepping up the workouts - a nice balance between needs / wants. CLEDA That sounds more like you. :) Who'd have thought you'd take to meditation?!?! What motivational podcasts do you have lined up? I'm tiring of the pods I listen to, so much so that spent 3 hrs at work today (tossing stuff) and didn't put one on the whole time. MENA & PAM You're not here yet, but I'm CERTAIN you'll be back. :D Oh Goals! Lili isn't on FB so won't have seen it.... I'm planning a trip to the USA!! Specifically to meet as many imaginary friends as I can - just DD (Bridget) and me - DH will mind Alice. At the moment, thinking around Easter in 2021, so quite a while off yet. PM if you'd be willing to have us visit for a few hours (do a workout / go for a walk) so I can sort my route. So... goal for 2020 - earn a fitness-based trip, by getting back to previous fitness levels! That will happen if: 1) not only do workouts with buddy = 3x/week, but EVERY DAY (now that I know it CAN be done) 2) adjust diet accordingly, so I'm not carrying around a body-bag weighing too many kg!! |
Wed 1/1 - Shiva Rea - Yoga Trance Dance (Energizing Flow premix)
Thu 1/2 - The Firm Parts - Lower Body Sculpting I noticed that the strap on my ankle weights is ripping in the middle. I know it must be because I've abused the straps by being rough when taking them off. I've had them for 20 years if a day. I was thinking that maybe I could go to Joann or Michaels and buy some heavy duty Velcro and maybe the tailor at the cleaners could attach a new one? Does that sound feasible? I really love these ankle weights--they have little weights you can put in or out to adjust the weight. I feel like only you guys would be able to understand an attachment to exercise equipment :p. Thanks for starting us off, Helen. You outdid yourself with the pics. I especially love the cat trying to catch snowflakes and the electrified 2020 sign. Kay - Sending healing vibes to Ursella. I hope she will be o.k. Lili - You're not the only one who knows they need to do longer workouts. I need to work on this too. Cleda - Those are excellent goals for January. Good luck. Helen - Planning a US trip--how exciting!! Lots of great cities to visit here especially New York (of course, I'm biased about that :p). Waves to Pam. Let's all have a great 2020 filled with lots of exercise and good health :D:D. |
2/31
2/366 Thu., 2-Jan Franny - Two Workouts with a Vengeance - Hilo Mix 51min also spent 3 hrs at work tossing papers, shifting texts, & shoving furniture around. |
Today was 2 Mile Miracle Walk with Leslie followed by Unplugged S20:E2. I have some sore muscles from yesterday's session with Margaret!
I tried to sign up for 6 months of streaming on Margaret's site, but the discount code wouldn't work. :eek: I tried every version of it that I could, but nothing. On top of that, they want to charge a $9.60 service fee! It's a streaming service, I don't get it. I tried to e-mail them, but I had an error message come back. I have enough Unplugged DVDs to last me, but the streaming includes the original music. Oh well, I thought her prices were high and obviously there are problems with her website. I did sign up for a free week of Leslie's streaming and will probably continue with that, as it is very reasonable. 2/31 |
