Trying to wake up

And sucking down the coffee.
Good grief I'm tired this morning!!! Maybe it just took a little extra time to catch up with me? anyway .....

Must report and then head off to get ready for the day:

10/19/2020: (all Peloton): 30 mins. Hike with Chase Tucker (done on the Elliptical) followed by 20 minutes Upper Body Strength with Andy Speer

Time to get busy and do different workouts. I like the hikes on the elliptical. Gentle workout, but still gets the job done. I am (shockingly) not sore or tired from the Pelofondo. (tired in general, but I worked Sat. so that's part of it.)

Ok, off to figure out my food for the day. My coach changed my macros again. so I have to pay attention. No auto pilot this week.

Waves to all!
Make it a great day.

I'm not surprised you're tired, but I am very impressed that you're not sore!

You're so well rounded - you consistently fit in several kinds of things.

Don't you love doing the virgins & dust bunnies?! Feels like a NEW workout every time.

Tue, 20th Oct.
46min, Leslie - Ultimate 5 Day Walk Plan - Purple + Green + Yellow Mile Mix (virgin mix)
10min, KCM - The Shape of Things to Come - Chest & Abs Option, 6kg (13.2 lb D-bells) (virgin addon)
DH has been taking Alice out during the afternoon before I get home.
He missed her when he was away.

Switching things up

and no time for shout outs ...
(Need something here for Helen)!

10/20/2020: Peloton Recovery run on the treadmill with Matty. 20 minutes.

I like Matty! He's good for me (as a beginner runner? and I never may get out of that status.) He's the perfect mix of good form pointers and goofy. and the fact that I used his audio runs outside at mom's whenever I would go down there conjures up great memories. So that could be part of it also.

Ok, off to the treadmill.
Waves to all!

Pam - Yes, I do have a toss and keep pile, but I waver so much. What if I need this some day? It's crazy, and I'm leaning towards tossing everything I don't love. There is so much out there on the internet, how would I ever miss it?
Cleda - Not being sore after 100 miles is huge! Good for you. I love Matty for treadmill workouts in general. He just makes me smile.
Helen - I do love going through the virgins/dustbunnies. It helps with all of the guilt of having way too many DVDs!

1020 - I started with 2.5 mile walk on my own.
Body Project's Beginner Cardio (although they have modifications for all levels).
Dog walk.

Lili - I took the plunge last year and tossed all the dvds I didn’t love or weren’t good for my body. I agree, there’s so much out there on the internet. I can’t say I’ve missed any of the ones I tossed and I could easily do another small purge.

Cleda - I’m also not surprised that you were tired after your 100 miles and I’m glad you weren’t sore!

Helen - I am definitely a variety junkie!

Waves to all!

Good morning - it's Thursday.
Feeling discouraged.
Here's why:

Wed., 21st Oct.
60min Walking, with school
Christi - Hilo Heaven - was super keen to whack out all 80min of it!!!

BUT only did 26min of it. Heavily modified to avoid twisting, no arms so could concentrate on keeping knee tracking forwards, Alice kept holding her rope in front of me to play as I usually do if it's not weights work, but it made it too hard to focus on knee position.

Gave up in frustration.
On the UPSIDE - grapevines and side-steps are now totally fine - maybe I was just overshooting what I thought I could do.

So tonight it'll be something SIMPLE - maybe Cathe, and designated low impact.

~WOW Spicy Pumpkin Walk
~Essentrics Stretch & Release on Band
~Steps: 9246

I saw my PT today for a nagging hip issue. It’s been going on for a while so decided it was time for some professional advice. I had some IMS dry needling so I’m taking it slow for a day or two and no KBs for a while.

Helen - Sorry you’re feeling discouraged, but I do think you’re wise to be cautious. Grapevines & side steps are a step in the right direction.

Waves to all!

Helen - Don't get down on yourself, you did something for 86 minutes! You need to be careful and Alice is obviously demanding (in a good way).
Pam - Less stuff can be very freeing! Hope the hip improves.
Waves to Cleda and Kay if you're out there!

10/21 - 2.5 mile walk with dogs and DH.
KCM's Athletic Conditioning II, w/o 1, with some moves on the rebounder.
10/22 - 3.1 mile walk by myself.
30 min. Adv. Beginner Ride with Kendall.
10 min. Post Ride Stretch and I've already forgotten her name.

10/15 virgins/dustbunnies

Good morning - at work with some spare time (but only a little!)
Thanks for the reassurance - I'm keeping in mind that I have quite a few virginal Cathe's that are low impact, AND that I need to do more yoga/stretching.

Thu., 22nd Oct.
60min walk with DH & Alice

Had a friend pass through town that we only see every few years - so a TURD for a nice reason. He was there when I got home from work & stayed for a very long while. We all went for a long walk around the city/harbour as it's been many years since he's seen it & has changed a lot - for the better!

Have to get back on my head now....
Will listen to the debate as not on class, it airs at noon here. Headphones in whilst doing something else.

Fri., 23rd Oct.
32min, Cathe - AfterBurn - Mix 2 Express (Intervals 1-5), with buddy
That was enough - discovered that getting tired means knee more likely to have a wobbly moment, but 30min, all stayed solid.

no time to post

But want to chime in with what everyone else has mentioned:

Helen: i think we're too hard on ourselves. Sometimes, what we do IS enough. You get lots of steps and walking throughout the day and with Alice and it DEFINITELY counts. so 30 minutes (despite wanting to do some more) absolutely, positively counts. . . . . . Do not be so hard on yourself and heal. (I can say this as I'm similiar ... I do 30 minutes and feel like it's nothing, but have learned over the years, the body needs time to heal and it DOES count ..... We push ourselves - sometimes? maybe? too hard?) but .. it's all good!

I have to get to working out. I am so glad it's Friday. I am exhausted and ready for the weekend.

Will post workouts later. Just wanted to come in and say hi! Not too motivational today. Sorry.
