CLEDA
I'm not a fan of athletic HIIT drill-style myself. Burpees, tuck jumps, air jacks... blech, but I do them if they're in the workout. Cathe has shifted more in that direction over the years.
So glad you're embracing the 90-day challenge idea! Lets help each other with the floundering. I'm feeling the same.
__ Pounds - I do still prefer stone+pounds, but getting used to kg as DH REALLY wants all the scales in kg.
LILI
THANKYOU!! for joining the daily step thing!! Had you not, I would probably NOT have done the late-night walk. Not sure if it ends at midnight in eveyone's local time, or in the local time of where it started. Guess we'll find out - either way, it's still a 24-hr period, but the former would set a goal for you to chase to beat us (that was my hope for you). My sister 'plays' it - deliberately doesn't synch during the day so I can't see her steps, then BAM! - synchs and wins.
My start for the month
The 1st didn't go so well.
The silence/lonely set in, and a thunderstorm had me watching TV on the couch mid afternoon whilst firmly cuddling Alice to calm her shakes & heavy panting. Also, DH & Bridget won't be home on Sunday, but it'll be Mon (more likely Tuesday).
At 10pm noticed I hadn't even made my step goal, and it's the FIRST of the month !! and Lili DID join our daily step challenge
so walked from 10:30pm to midnight to make it. (goal is 14k, made 16k) Drove down to the harbour which is well lit and has a couple of night-clubs - not bustling (lockdown) but still plenty of people about.
NOW rambling musings ..... feel free to ignore
Saturday morning, with coffee, and rose at 8:30 (better, for me) Yeah, that's the middle of Cleda's day but she's probably in bed before I have dinner.
No list today - it's the last weekend of holidays, so doing what grabs me. It was pointless mopping the downstairs floor - looks JUST like it did before - obvious paw-prints, but I suppose there is less sand/grit to go with them.
Saturdays are a good day to hit the foreshore again - Alice loves all the people about, and with lovely weather, people have been out and about in droves lately ! picnics, push-bikes, families at playgrounds.... That kind of contact might bouy me up - and maybe a podcast.
Interestingly - I grew up with the TV on before I got up & on all day. Mother didn't sit & watch it much, but said the sound of it was a kind of company for her. Maybe she had the same thing I do - not doing well alone in silence - maybe just alleviating the SILENCE will help. Today's mission - fill the day with voices: music/podcast, .... see if it makes a difference.
