And then off to exercise. One must stay healthy in these trying times!
Lili & Helen: You are both right! People seem to be so covid weary. I think that's a big part of it. I have to wear a mask all day long at work and when I'm out and about. (My face is a mess because of it. Doctor visits and 2 kinds of medicine and it's still got a bad rash!!! It's been there for a month now? Their solution? Don't wear a mask. Yeah- that's not going to happen.
) Anyway ...... I cannot control the behavior of others, so I do my very best to stay safe.
AND ... eating right and exercising is a big part of that. soooooo
1/2/2022: Andy Speer's Strength Program Week 2, workout 3
(end of week 2! YAY!) It was
10 mins. warm up, 45 mins. strength and 10 mins. stretch.
That was it! I was a bit tired and decided to go easy yesterday because
(NEVER SAY NEVER) ... Don't fall over ~ I joined a StepBet. are you kidding me??? after (3 years ago) swearing I'd
NEVER do one again?? Yep. I signed up for a 6 week stepbet. What on earth was I thinking???
I think Lili planted the seed that she was thinking of doing another one. So I said," Hmmm... let me just
CHECK and see what my steps would be". They aren't horrible, cuz let's face it - I don't move much. Which brings me to reason #2 --- I don't move much. I do my morning workout and then I'm sedentary for most of the day which is NOT good. I am hoping that by joining a stepbet, it may get me moving (at least 1000 or so steps) at night to finish my days. The 3rd reason was a group I'm with on FB are hosting one and asked us to join .... so here I am -
again, I repeat: never say never. Today is day #1 and it goes through for 6 weeks. Simultaneously (btw) with the Power Zone Challenge.
I am giving myself 6 weeks to get off the winter/Christmas weight (and may even take longer) but I need some laser focus for the next 6 weeks or so. I thought this would kick it up a notch. With my fb group, with a stepbet, with my coach, with my new journal, the next 4 weeks of strength program with Andy Speer (which I looked ahead to see HOW I'm going to work it with the Power Zone challenge? What was I thinking?) with some new year found gusto. I won't have much time to think about anything but steps, strength, cycling and that will hopefully help me in my endeavor.
That's my story and I'm sticking to it! In 6 weeks ?? I can make a difference. So that's where I'm at. So look for step count to possibly be added. We'll see. Like I said - they are not crazy high, so I feel better about that. (Active day is 7,417 steps and Power days are 9,717) Told you - my step count has been LOW lately. And I forgot the first week is a WARM UP week, but we all know I won't fall short. Even if it is a warm up week.
Ok, off to get lunch ready and hop on the bike for Week 1 Ride 2 for the power zone challenge. Let my 6 weeks begin. I'll be ready for fun, different workouts come 2/14/2022 ..... when recess begins.
Make it a great day!
