As it usually means I wake up to a "Helen Post".
Helen: Congrats on a new-to-you rebounder. I am so excited for you. The bungees make ALL the difference in the world. I have had 2 with springs and haven't used one since I got the Bellicon (how many years ago?) I didn't even realize that Urban Rebounding was on you tube. I always forget to check You tube. D'oh! Keep us posted and do let us know what workouts you do. I'm always looking. And we are similar in our lofty goals and all that. But you knew that.
Pam: Looks like you and I were the same for our Dec. goals and along with others here, have the same January goals. We can do this!
(as long as my power stays on and doesn't go out for 4 days).
I didn't realize JumpSport had streaming. I shouldn't even ask since I barely use my Bellicon site. But details are always welcome.
.
Mena: Yes! You came to the right place to mention your ankle weights. OF
COURSE we understand. (I do not, however, have a solution. Sorry).
Lili: 2 books I put holds on at my Library that I want to read:
- Atomic Habits By James Clear
- Tiny Habits by BJ Fogg
Atomic Habits is one of those "buzz books" that many of my FB groups are talking about. I heard of the Tiny Habits through the podcast.
I made it to the library yesterday!! WOW. But even more surprising is I found ONE of the books on my list of 5 that they had. Usually they have nothing, I get frustrated, come home, buy it and put it on my Kindle. I found another book I think I may have wanted to read somewhere along the line also. Sooooooooooooooo I came home and started reading
Last Christmas in Paris and I'm enjoying it. It's written in letter format and reminds me of
Gurnsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society (which I enjoyed also!)
On to me, me and all me:
1/3/2020: (I still keep typing 2019 and have to go back and change it to 2020. I have no problems WRITING it, but for whatever reason, typing it is not coming easily to me. I think it's a cool year btw. And I LOVE writing it.!!!) Treadmill - for 1.5 maybe 1.9 miles. I made my goal of one mile, so that's good. I started out doing one of the programs (that I put in, no higher than 10 on incline and no faster than 4 mph) then it's intermediate and the treadmill gives me the program. Didn't like it . Hit 10 incline at 3.7 mph and I wasn't comfortable. Bailed and will change it for next time if I'm going that high on incline, I have to cap the speed. But I'm trying to get out of my comfort zone on the treadmill. This was good. I then went to the "Track" interface where I put in my (hoped?) speed ... and I have a pacer that I have to follow/catch, pass whatever!!! I had fun with that and I got the rest of my mileage in. I figure I might as well use the programs on the console. That's what they are there for. Still having Ipod woes, barely made it through the walk.
I followed it up with a
45 minute heart rate zone training ride on the bike. (With Jennifer Jacobs - an instructor who is no longer with Peloton) It was supposed to have a Bruce Springsteen song in it, it didn't. I went the whole 45 minutes just waiting for Bruce and he never showed.
could have something to do with the music thing, but usually they get rid of the whole ride ... anyway ... not my favorite ride.
I work today so it's off to maybe get my mile in before heading into the office. Tonight is my work Christmas party also.
That's it.
(and it's plenty!)
Make it a great day!
