@VeggieGirlforLife Look at you go!2 -
Thanks @AnnofB! The walking I've got down, it's the strength workouts I moan and groan about and push thru each day. Oh man do I dislike those! I did a little research on some of the strength workouts you mentioned in your post and I noticed you mentioned using a kettlebell. Do you do any other workouts with a kettlebell? I've been using a HASfit workout where he does one move with an option for it, I use a small 4 lb. medicine ball instead. I've been wondering if I'd like using kettlebells for something different, but I am not very upper body strong since my car accident, I am still working on increasing weight.
Anyone else use kettle bell workouts?

Hi there. I am only using the one kettle bell workout I mentioned (Kelly Coffee-Meyer's) But, I have one by Gin Miller too. (Gin Miller's Calorie Burner Workout with Kettle Bells on Youtube) It came in the box with the kettle bell. It's a very good beginner workout. And until your post I had forgotten all about that one.
I will have to get it out again as I'm getting tired of the other one. What I do like about the Kelly one is you get a nice ab work out with it.
If you can, go to a sporting goods store and look at them. Maybe move up slowly from the 4 lb medicine ball to a 5 lb kettle bell? Be sure to try a lot of them. I bought a 7lb one on a whim and I don't like it because the handle is so small. Guess I have big hands, ha-ha. Anyway, the handle is the important part. My 10 lb one has a good sized handle. But it's more a matter of how the thing is built - I've seen some online that have a nice wide handle so, check out several to see how the handle does for you.
HTH, and I hope you are having a great day! 2 -
Hey Girls, I kind of went MIA. I was checking in but not posting because.... I just suck right now. I haven't gotten a workout in yet this entire month. Work got busy and then storms came through and my motivation went into hiding. I just haven't had the energy to even do a simple 15 minutes with Leslie. So with all that I've been trying to be extra careful with meals, watch portions and snacking on better options.
If anyone sees my motivation send it back to Michigan.2 -

Thank you for the information @AnnofB. It sounds like the handle can be an issue, so I will be sure to go look at some in person. I actually have small hands, so I do find some weights to be a challenge to grip! I am looking forward to trying something new, I get bored so easily with strength workouts.
Hiya @deeder522! It's hard when you're busy during your days and too tired to walk extra miles. I've had days like that for sure. Sounds like you're balancing it out by watching your calories carefully, so you're still doing well for yourself. For me, the heat is zapping my energy, I know I had bad form tonight with my workout, I just wanted it to be over. Good luck with your motivation! Know that better weather is on the horizon, if you're a fan of autumn, it starts next week!2 -

Quite understandable that you are not "feeling it", what with all you mentioned. You do have to listen to your body. It hasn't been a total wash though, you really aced the food part of the equation. Have a good day! 1 -
