    Pilates class. New to me and I could not do some of the exercises but I like the moves and it will be a good goal to work on my core. It was 1 hour.

    Last night was bike interval, I did the 30 minutes at a lighter pace so I didn't knock my heart rate out of whack again.

    Tonight is day 2 with the weight and core movements. I plan to alternate days between cycle and weights and as the weather cools add a morning or lunch walk.

    Eventually I will return to the mat for additional core and Yoga.

    Once I'm balancing all those things, which I expect will take me some time, in all likelihood this whole challenge and then some; then I will consider that C25k program.

    Sorry I have been missing this week. It has been a really crazy week with the play this week. I have been swimming every day from 45 minutes to an hour and a half. The only walking I have been doing is around the backstage area. But at least the play is coming together. Tomorrow night and Saturday afternoon are the performances. I will post a few pics when we are done.

    Blarrgh. I've had several arguments with my alarm this week which has resulted in absolutely zero early morning workouts. I've still been going, but I don't like going after work. It just feels like that much more effort. That being said, slept in again today, so weights tonight (back/biceps) and a walk at lunch.

    Is it wrong that I use the handicapped stall in a bathroom that almost no one uses and where we haven't had a handicapped person in years?

    ....and when I'm in there I use the long wall railing to do tricep bends where I squat 5 times?

    I mean, I only do it when the bathroom is completely empty and only about 5 of them each time I go pee, but I go a lot as I have a higher water intake.

    I use the handicap stall in the restroom unless I see a person in a wheelchair or with obvious mobility challenges actually in the bathroom at the time I am there.....what a great idea to do a few exercise moves while you're there

    I swam 45 minutes. Baked cookies and ran around backstage. So far I have logged 6900 steps. We broke for dinner. Do I am definitely not done yet for the day.

    Ditto what Barbie said. That's a cool idea for triceps bends/squats. Feel proud that you can do them!

    Over 12,000 steps yesterday while doing 4 hours of cleaning and purging dad's house he had lived in for over 60 years.

    Yard sale next Saturday which I really dread. But the Rescue Mission is coming to get all the leftovers so we don't have to haul them off.

    So yesterday I ended the day with 10894 steps!!! The scary part is the vast majority of that was backstage walking. I have now made cupcakes and cookies this morning already. Off to soccer game and play performance

    I mowed the lawn. The gras was wet and thick so it took me an extra hour to mow it. I tried to take a rest day but it is supposed to rain tomorrow

    Today was weights; triceps/lats. Walk for lunch, and do my best to hit 10,000 steps. Yesterday I ran/hobbled in the morning, and then walked all over Edmonton with my Cousin. Had myself a blast!!
