Sarah: I don't do the fancy signs but my welcome is just as heartfelt.
Glad to have you! We
love having new people join the check in. It just seems to breathe new breath into it and we get to see more workouts. (it's amazing how many times small things will trigger something for us and we're off!) It truly is a great place to post and stay motivated. You will find me rather long winded, (they are all used to it here!) so feel free to just skip over if you want! (or if you're short on time. ha! Leopards don't change their spots, so I doubt I ever will!)
And I agree - getting outside is soooo good for us!!!
Susan: I
LOVE IT!!!! Kay does counter push ups all the time. (and I admit, I actually did some while making supper last night!!) what a
WONDERFUL use of your time. and
STRONG. Like bull! That's wonderful. Makin' it work (and counts).
Helen: Your goals are your own (and heaven knows I'd
NEVER put YOGA in mine. hahahahahaha. Never say never!!!) And for a second I felt like such a slacker ... Look! Helen's doing 1.6 of running with a bum knee and I'm slacking at 1 mile. Then I realized -- D'oh! It's km. Ok, I'm not a slacker. (oh wait! No negative self-talk. lol)
So your buddy workouts are like my p.m. workouts. I limit them to 4 nights a week!!!
Two things I like to remember:
- Never 2 rest days in a row
- It's so much easier to stay IN shape and keep moving then to get BACK into shape by slacking.
Of course, Every day in the month/year helps! (just random thoughts - obviously need more coffee!)
Lili: I am so sorry about your casting issues. That would drive me crazy (hence the reason I'll probably give up Bellicon streaming!) I hope you get it resolved. I stream from the bike or use the app on my smart tv. So I can't help. Hey - wait - do you have the ability to load APPS on your tv? Oh never mind - that's through my roku stick. (told ya all -- need more coffee).
Waves to Pam and anyone else who might be hanging around!!! Come join the party!!!
On to my favorite subject: ME, ME, ME:
I'm into the 3rd day of April and so far? Goals are going well. Ha! I'm concerned about next week - as the challenge schedule looks kinda rough, I work Sat. and well ... The whole starting of the rotation is tiring? I need to get over that first (exhausted) hurdle and then I'll be good. That's why I started the double sessions of rowing early - to make it habit before April came. Had 2 weeks of it behind me. The mile a day will be interesting. (I had put that I"m not a runner. But I am a runner. Doing away with the negative self talk!)
4/2/2021: 30 mins. Cold Play Run (Becs) got in my mile!!!,
30 mins. Emma Groove ride, 20 minutes Ally Low Impact Ride**,
Post Ride Stretch, 10 mins. Emma Core, 10 minutes Full Body Stretch w/Matty
The Cold Play run did not do for me what emma's CP ride does, but it was good. Not sure I'd go back and do it again (with so many other choices.) But the Ally low Impact ride from 4/2/2021 @ 9:30 a.m.? Hmmm. . . Yes! I'd redo. It was great for a cooldown ride (mostly zone 2) and it was all Broadway tunes. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Was going to do a Sundays With Love, but I've done them all (I thought there was a couple I Missed) and although I like them - there is so much content to try on Peloton, I figured something different would be good.
Ok, off to read some more and get busy. My challenge riders meet at 10 a.m. for our hour long ride. That will earn me some bonus points for my team.
Make it a great day!
