    I went to drive to the gym today - and my car had a dead battery!

    Not to be deterred, I called the AMA and they came and re-charged the battery, but the worker said that I needed a new battery. So, I tried to fit that into my day, but while I went back inside to grab my gym gear - to head to a BELATED gym session, my battery died AGAIN. ha ha ha

    Another call to AMA - this time with a truck to REPLACE battery - and I ran out of "free time" by the time that happened.

    I DO have a new battery. My car DOES run. But, I won't make it to the gym until Wednesday, now.

    BOOM!

    Great snowshoe yesterday! Lots of fresh snow, so we were breaking trail the entire hike! Amazing how much harder one has to work to do that.

    One full week of Arnold Smash is done, plus the plank and crunch challenge...today is rest, so only planks and crunches and I'm really looking forward to the day off.

    back to classes yesterday. 1 hour of cardio/weights/stretch followed by an hour of glorious chair yoga!
    We have a new fitness instructor doing the cardio/weight class. Oh my! Not what we are used to, but I think she is going to push us, which is a good thing. She yells. Loud. A lot. :scream:

    Lol, sdereski. It is good to exit "the comfort zone" .

    Meanwhile, I finally did my own gym routine, at my own gym, at my usual time. Today. It has been three weeks since THAT happened!

    BOOM!

    @Beeps2011 - well done for making it to your gym!
    @gam3rguy - well done you! You are in constant "beast mode"!

    Got out for another great snowshoe last night. It was colder, but so nice in the bush.

    Hosting bridge tonight, so am not able to get my usual workout in. :disappointed:

    No snow here in the lowlands, but I did a couple of outdoor walks last week. It's been cold, but that's no excuse. Will log some more miles this week. Thanks for the inspiration, @sdereski!

    Well no regular workouts for me, on vacation in Costa Rica! However we walk 2.5 km each way to town and hiked for hours yesterday up and down mountains so think we're doing ok.

    We got our snowshoe in again last night. It was such a beautiful night. However, temps are supposed to drastically drop tonight for the next week, so my trekking may be put on hold. Although you are always moving, my hands / feet can get quite cold when the temperatures drop.

    Eating was a bit of a disaster yesterday. Basically just over ate. :tongue:
    Today is a new day...thank goodness.

    Can't imagine anything about you is "weak". :astonished:

    Indoor classes last night - body blast followed by a wonderful hour of yoga. Water intake and food choices were good yesterday as well.

    Impressive, @gam3rguy! I have a tough time with kettlebell getups.

    Got a damn stomach bug. 🖕😠
    Hopefully it’ll go away soon and I won’t have to start the sandbag routine over...I was only on day 2 anyways. So...rest day. 🤬
