Getting Buff! September 2020 Challenge To Keep Moving Weeks 35-38 - Page 2

Vantreesta · 09-01-20, 08:33 AM

Happy September! Even when it's warm out now I can feel the difference btwn summer and fall warmth and I am happy it's finally cooling off. I think I will try to start each day this month by posting a positive like this. My mom used to post a positive thought or quote on Facebook every night before bed. She said she wanted her FB friends to always see smthg positive first thing in the morning, a bright spot in all the negative stuff posted and the news. She did this until the end, no matter how hard her day may have been. If only I could be even half as positive, generous and friendly as she was....

We spent the wknd with my father-in-law, which was good. Yesterday I spent 6 hours driving (round trip) to spend a couple hours with my dad. It was worth it to see him. I listened to the Mind Pump podcast the whole time and have decided that, especially since there's no race to be training for, I'm going to start CLX three days a week and only plan to run twice a week. They said when a client comes to them wanting to lose weight but also build muscle they always start with the muscle building, which often includes an increase in calorie intake to feed the new muscle. Once more muscle is built and the metabolism boosted it is easier then to lose weight. I have been so bad about strength training the last few years and chosen running if I had to miss workouts and I don't want to keep losing muscle. I will also be making a sincere effort (finally) to clean up my eating.

This morning I did my pelvic stability and glute strength PT exercises and then day 24 of the DYY challenge. Pretty low energy today and ended up taking a nap this afternoon and no other workouts.

Hey all - dropped out posting due to being super busy (end of academic year for seniors - huge workload) THEN dropped out of moving as injured my knee. Did 6 perfectly fine jumps in roller skates, landing backwards, but the 7th was NOT my lucky number as twisted my knee quite badly & have been hobbling ever since; BUT have a date with my buddy to do upper body & abs tonight.

Talk with you all soon!

We're definitely feeling the change of season here too - and it's WONDERFUL!
