I know I've been reading. But I always seem to run out of time in the a.m. I cut it too close as is. Work sure does get in the way of a lot of stuff.
Pam: Love your consistency. And variety. (reminds me I should have more ...)
Waves to Helen, Lili & Kay. And anyone else who may be lurking.
My month has gone well. I'm on a new kick with less than 100 days left in the year. I am on track to meet my goal of every day in 2020. That feels good and honestly? It's been many years since I've actually done that. So I will be pleased and proud at the end of the year. (I have every intention of finishing the year of every day in barring any major catastrophes.)
But this is, after all 2020, so who knows what's lurking around the bend?!?
Rowing has been going great. I have joined a few groups. So I have been doing lots of reading and following. It helps to be connected to a community. Lots of videos, form pointers, etc. There is a challenge that began 9/15. Now don't fall over, but I actually DID NOT join it. I will do one in the future, but I was about 3 days late to the party and didn't want to feel like I was playing "Catch up" the entire time. So I will wait and do another one when the opportunity presents itself.
I feel like I've made great strides with rowing and it finally clicked last weekend. It only took almost two months, which is ok. I still have to get in 4 more rowing sessions to meet my goal of 18 rowing workouts this month, but I have no doubt, I'll will get them all done. (and it leaves me 2 days of rest as well (from rowing). Sooooooooooooooooo
Here's a small world phenomena ... only in the book of Cleda --- I am active with a Pokemon Go group. One of the gals doesn't get to raid often because she doesn't have a raid group. They came out with "remote raid passes" so we can invite people to raid with us. perfect for people who live in remote areas or don't have groups to raid with. I'm active with her in a Pokemon Go Fitbit Group on Facebook. I started inviting her to raids when I'm out. Come to find out .... She's a Concept2 Rowing Instructor!
Who knew? So I (obviously) joined her facebook group page.
I am in week 6 of my Power Zone Challenge. (that sure is going by fast.) Can't believe we're headed into October soon. These challenges really do keep me focused. I'm about 5 days ahead of the schedule. and I'm good with that.
Ok, on to the check in as I could babble forever. (you all know that!)

Not sure what's on the docket today, but might hit that Adrian bootcamp again. It's tread & weights. Basic, simple and effective. The weight sections have shoulder presses, some Kettlebell swings (well, he uses a weight, I sub the kb) and then he does some burpees, which I actually do using the rim of the rebounder, so I modify. But I do them, I feel great and they work!
Anyway ... 4 more rowing sessions. One I'm sure will be done today. I have a doctor's appointment, will be interesting to see what he says about the weight loss.
I'm down 70 lbs. for the year, so I'm pleased. I am right on track to hit my year end goal in so many ways. This makes me happy.
Make it a great day!!!!
