@clicketykeys I did modified push-ups, various arm exercises with dumbbells and squats with dumbbells (low weight high rep). It was the squats that killed me. It's been a long time since I've been this sore.0

Needed a rest day today. Though I haven't taken a run or done a formal workout, the last few days have been very active. If I never have to carry another crate of fire extinguishers I'll be happy. Only worked a half day today, then went out to eat with my bf, I was ravenous. Stayed in daily calorie goal but had a huge meal.0 -
Happy Friday everyone!
1. Check in by 9 PM on weeknights, meds taken, teeth flossed/rinsed/brushed; in bed by 9:30. 3/4 - tonight's not a weeknight, so I'm off the hook until Sunday!
2. Kickboxing Monday; gym 5 days. Update chart immediately upon return. 3/5. Gotta get to the gym tomorrow AND Sunday to meet this goal!
3. 10k steps, 2x 12 push-ups, 2x 20 sec wall sit, 2x 45 sec plank, 2x 20 sec lunges daily. 5/5! I didn't end up adding the extra set because I had to make a phone call at lunch and between that and only getting 25 minutes, I barely got a chance to eat and potty!
4. Prep next day’s breakfast and lunch immediately upon return from school. Counting this as 4/4!
5. With husband, brainstorm meal ideas for next week by Wednesday. Check ingredients and enter recipes if needed. 1/2; meal ideas have been chosen - I still need to put them in the recipe builder. This is going on my to-do list.
6. Fold laundry - 20 diligent minutes daily. Did it again! 3/5. If I do more tomorrow I may actually get all of it put away!
Okay, so tomorrow is Saturday, so here's my extra to-do list:
1. Yoga with mom and friends.
2. Lunch out, probably. Eat something non-calorific and guess at logging it as accurately as possible.
3. Get the rest of the laundry put away.
4. Put my jewelry away. I have a bad habit of taking it off before bed and just leaving it on the dresser.
5. Remember to do my Duolingo and my daily exercise, even though it's not a weekday.
6. Go to the gym. Chart my workout when I get back.
7. Input the recipes for next week's meals.
8. Paint my nails.
9. Husband just loaded and started the dishwasher, so maybe if I unload it and put the dishes away, he'll load it again and wash another set XD we are soooo bad about letting them pile up, lol!
10. Look for music - my students have requested Christmas tunes and I don't know what I've got.
I think that's plenty!
ETA: @goldthistime, just make sure that you listen to your body and don't push yourself too hard. Even aside from injuries, it's more effective AFAIK if you can build something that's gradual and consistent, in comparison to a workout that's so tough that you can only do it once in a long while.2 -

1. Doesn't apply. Yay Saturday!
2. Kickboxing Monday; gym 5 days. Update chart immediately upon return. 4/5 if I grab my chart. Yay for reminders!
3. 10k steps, 2x 12 push-ups, 2x 20 sec wall sit, 2x 45 sec plank, 2x 20 sec lunges daily. 6/6! Since I was at home today I got my husband to keep count
4. Completed! I do still need to prep breakfast/lunches tomorrow, and I need to do the frittata.
5. With husband, brainstorm meal ideas for next week by Wednesday. Check ingredients and enter recipes if needed. 1/2; meal ideas have been chosen - I still need to put them in the recipe builder. This is going on my to-do list.
6. Fold laundry - 20 diligent minutes daily. 4/6 - everything is folded, now to get it put away.
Here's the Saturday list:
1. Yoga with mom and friends. Done.
2. Lunch out, probably. Eat something non-calorific and guess at logging it as accurately as possible. "Huevos Rancheros" and I asked to reduce the rice and beans and sub in some salad greens. Super tasty!
3. Get the rest of the laundry put away. Welll... it's folded?
4. Put my jewelry away. I have a bad habit of taking it off before bed and just leaving it on the dresser. Didn't touch it.
5. Remember to do my Duolingo and my daily exercise, even though it's not a weekday. Done!
6. Go to the gym. Chart my workout when I get back. Done!
7. Input the recipes for next week's meals. Gonna do this before bed.
8. Paint my nails. Gonna do this before inputting recipes.
9. Husband just loaded and started the dishwasher, so maybe if I unload it and put the dishes away, he'll load it again and wash another set XD we are soooo bad about letting them pile up, lol! Done!
10. Look for music - my students have requested Christmas tunes and I don't know what I've got. MIGHT do this before bed. Or tomorrow. I'm feeling pretty good about today.1 -

Had a very tiring week, next week I'll get back to regular exercise - though I was active and I'm down in lbs. I'm going to keep working on getting more veggies (fruit is usually not hard). I don't really seem capable of going to bed early, not sure how to convince myself I want to.1 -

This week had some complications exercise wise (like an ongoing foot problem I've been having followed by a tweaked back), and even foodwise (overdid it on the leftover "healthy" carrot cakes that were at our house on the weekend, as in ate cake for breakfast and lunch two days in a row).
1. Exercise (cardio or strength): 3/6
2. Strength train 3 days a week: 2/3
3. Eat minimum 5 fruits/veggies a day: 5/7
4. Eat adequate protein 7 days a week: 6/71 -
