Every Day in September - getting it done as if it was New Year!
 

Remember all that motivation you had on Dec.31?
Well bring it BACK! 4 months to go - let's see the year out how we hoped we would - like we knew we could. :D

Daily posts - not mandatory, nor even "sternly preferred" - but we love it if you do.
Weekly posts, drive-by notes, daily essays all about you.... any of those are perfectly fine - no pressure, EXCEPT to diligently try to add serious movement to your day - every day.

Lexicon:
WERD = Well Earned Rest Day, but even rest days can include movement
TERD = Totally Expected Rest Day, though not especially well-earned, like a planned happy event
TURD = Totally Unexpected Rest Day, hopefully also a happy event
HERD = of TURDS - usually declared after the THIRD TURD in a row. Try to avoid these at all costs, as they can move in & get comfortable, getting OUT of your comfort zone is the way to make change happen

Bravo .... Well Done
 

Hi, ladies. It's been a long time since I've done any check-ins but I had wondered if Kay B was in the flood zone in Tennessee. When I went looking for her posts I founds she hasn't posted in over a month and back then she was having trouble with low blood pressure and other health stuff. Has anyone heard from her recently?

I checked in on her a while ago, when she stopped coming to the check-in, but that was well over a month ago.
She HAS posted on FaceBook recently.

Opened with
1 Wed Chrono: Cathe - Intensity Series - Boot Camp, whew!
2 Thu Alice: Long walk - 90min
3 Fri Buddy: Cathe - Step Boss - Imax 4, 8"
4 Sat Upper weights: Template (fill the slots for written workout) - 2 Day Split - Lower/Upper - Upper Workout, 3 sets of 15, 101 timing

It's our Father's Day tomorrow - first Sunday of Spring. Bridget is going to do shed work with DH all morning, then (if it isn't raining) we'll all go for a long bush/beach walk.

Thanks, Helen.

Checking in
 

Helen: I've adjusted to our different seasons (of winter/summer) but now have to readjust for fall/spring. Wrapping my head around it! ;) Interesting on Father's day

Waves to Lili and anyone else reading!!!

Ok, so we're in September and my reset didn't go as well as I had hoped. But today is a new day and hope springs eternal! ONWARD! :sun:

9/1/2021: Rowed 10 mins, 10 mins. happiness meditation (using my back pod)

9/2/2021: Rowed 10 mins, 10 mins core

9/3/2021: Rowed 15 mins. with Sera then rowed 20 mins. with Mike, Jump Rope 10 mins, Bike: Bradley Rose 15 mins. low impact, 10 mins. Emma recovery ride and 10 mins. Peace meditation

9/4/2021: Bradley Rose's Hiit & Hills ride (30 mins.) Hannah Corbin's 30 minutes Eric Church ride, 10 mins. Bradley Rose cooldown ride, 5 minutes core with Rebecca Kennedy and then met a friend to try our hand at Pickleball. (First time ever!)

I like the back pod. I can actually meditate using it (maybe my focus is no longer wandering when I'm sinking into the back pod? I dunno). The Eric Church ride was meh. I expected more. Not sure why.

And there we have it. Renewed sense of hope here.

Good golly, I'm already behind!
Helen - thank you again for starting us off!
Cleda - I looked into the BackPod, but found some other interesting devices that might suit me better. Glad you are enjoying it and that it is helping with the meditation.
I often wonder about Kay, glad to hear that she is at least posting on Facebook.

6 Mon Christi Solid Gold Cardio
Getting it in before I forget!

Shall come back with coffee to pause & read

Labor Day
 

Mixing myself up. I saw I posted for the 4th, but then thought it was Sunday cuz it's Labor Day and I'm off work, but then realized it's Monday so I did NOT post for the 5th, cuz it was Sunday. I obviously need more coffee!!!

Lili: I think I like the backpod cuz I have to sink into it and it doesn't involve a lot of work. I do hope it works (for me!). I don't use the chirp wheel as much as I thought I would. I'm hoping that once I use the backpod enough, I can graduate to the chirp wheels. ;)

Not a lot to report! Good to see everyone. I have other check ins to get to, so I'll be quick:

9/5/2021: 20 mins. Daniel McKenna's Premiere (20 mins.) run on the treadmill**, 10 mins. cool down run with Matt, 60 mins. My Mixtape Ride with Jenn Sherman, 5 mins. Post ride stretch

** This was Daniel's premiere run. He's Irish and has a heavy accent. I must watch a lot of PBS and British dramas as I had no problem with his accent. (it was a common complaint on the boards!) Will try him again. Didn't love him, didn't dislike him. . . I was heavy legged from Pickleball though (and didn't realize it till I started to run).

Jenn's ride was ... BLECH ... She is probably one of my (and I do have a list) least favorite bike instructors??? I don't know why I keep going back to her. Thinking I'll enjoy her or her rides. I don't. She stands a lot (instead of pedaling) and swears more than I like (although ALOT less than she used to) and she SINGS ALONG. I sing a long too - but it's in the privacy of my house. If I wanted kareoke? I'd go to the bar. I must remember this in the future. AND it was a 60 mins. ride. What was I thinking????? All to say: I still don't care for her style. :p

Ok, gotta run ....
Make it a great day/week.
