    30-min hotel workout today. I'm so sleep deprived, I couldn't leave the hotel, so I did 30-min of yoga. Wanted to walk on the trail, but so many in PA light their wood burning fireplaces this time of year & for those asthmatic like me, well, I choke & cough & can't stop with 1 whiff of smoke.

    I'll do another 30-min of yoga in awhile & add in 5-min of squats.

    Just like Elvis, I didn't die, I just went home -- and got busy squatting, deadlifting, and farmer's walking all over the yard for two days. I grumbled about it at the time, but being active every day is giving me a demonstrably better mood overall, and I'm sleeping better to boot.

    That's great!

    Today I took it easy because it's Sunday and I went running yesterday, but I did get 11,500 steps in.

    I totally failed the bent over row. I got one set in and my body said "If you do that again I will frak you up." BUT I squatted AND benched 135 for all five sets of five. This morning, I took my dog for a long walk and even a bit of a jog.

    No days off.

    I've lost my neat-o mask, so now I have to improvise on my exercise

    Update to the mask situation: the wife has come through bigly with a multi-pack of disposable masks that look like diapers. The new RZ has been ordered, and this will do until then. Guess who's squatting today!

    A brisk walk around the parking lot before work, and I'm going to see what my 1RM is under a bar later

    Two days in a row, I got on the floor to do yoga & woke up hours later... didn't mean to fall asleep. Jeez... I'm bloody burnt.

    I won't be back for awhile... tomorrow morning I begin relocating cross country, so I'll just be relegated to mild, short stretching routines & jumping around like Iggy Pop on a sugar high to varying songs in a hotel room.

    Happy Thanksgiving, All. I'll catch up with ya in a later post. :smile:

    I didn't get a 1RM, but I DID squat 225 three times. That's a record for me.

    45 min of elastic bands, step, broomstick, and 5 lb water bottles (gym is closed in Italy). 45 min jogging in the park.

    Made time to get a workout in yesterday. I'm feeling pretty sore today. But nothing yoga and a foam roller cant fix. :D

    This week hasn't been a good week for me, but I've done 11,900 steps Monday, then 14,000, 9,000 and today, 12,000. Tomorrow, I will try to get a run in.

    An hour of jogging in the park--instead of 4 rounds, I did 5.

    I hope stretching and yard work count for yesterday, cause boy those cinder blocks weren't light. This morning I already set a personal record on my mile at the track -- I got it under 17 minutes! Tonight is more squats and bench.

    I haven't posted a lot recently, so I figured I'd give an update. I've taken two days off of logging workouts, even if I did walk the dog a half a mile. The first was the 14th, I was just beat from so much overtime. The second was the 21st, we put a pet to sleep and ate all our feelings and loafed around. Overall I'm proud of myself so far. I've gone for a purposeful walk or lifted something heavy 25 of the 27 days of the month.
