    Hurt my foot end of last week. Finally feeling better which is good cause I have to do rounds at the plant today. I will workout tonight. Not doing even 10 mins means I'll never get where I want to be.

    13strong, glad your foot is getting better. You'll get there. A setback is just that--sets you back but doesn't stop you. :flowerforyou:


    Since I did my gym workouts over the weekend, my schedule dictates today to be a home workout day (after kids go to bed), or switch with tomorrow to do a run. For the first time in a long time, things are flowing nicely and I could've done the gym or run, or ANYthing because there are no interferences. I was tempted to go for a long run or go to the gym, but I think my body is telling me to take it easy, so I decided to stay home and let DH take son to lessons today. So resting today and will do my home workout (abs & glutes) tonight. I'm glad I'm sticking to my plan. Cheating a plan is no good, but disregarding a plan and overtraining can be just as bad too. I think this is where having a plan really comes in handy, to guide me when I've being overly ambitious (as well as when I'm being overly lazy :laugh: ). Also, my arms are SORE again! haha

    May sound strange, but I feel like I can see some changes in my body from my gym workouts already. Even if I'm imagining it, I think I really will see definitive change by the end of the month.

    Hope everyone has a great Monday!

    Oh yeah, I do, on occasion, try to incorporate holidays into threadstarters, but I am not familiar with some holidays (like Canadian ones) and living abroad I sometimes miss some American ones. Hate it when that happens. Anyway, I was waiting for Dr. King's day for this, one of my favorites, but it slipped by me....so here it is. As I said, one of my favorites.

  • Worked out today with my husband at the gym since he had the day off, Federal Holiday. Today, I worked on the arm machines in the weight machine room.

    Bonus saying today!

    I had my annual eye exam this morning. Was able to walk out the door 30 minutes later than usual so you'd think I would have had my act together, but I managed to forget my lunch in the refrigerator at home. Got soup & half a sandwich from a place down the street, but it wasn't very good. Now I'm having eaters remorse because it was probably a lot of calories and totally wasn't worth it.

    Trainer session tonight & I typically run on Mondays. I'm starting to feel like the antibiotics are helping my sinus infection, but they're making me pretty nauseated even taking them with food.

    Hi Cathhsmom!! How nice to workout with your husband today. :)

    Laura, glad the antibiotics are helping. I hate it when I end up eating something that was calorically expensive and not very good. But at least now you know not to get that again.



    Okay, after son's martial arts class, I got home late and ended up eating too late and my belly is too full to do my workout tonight. Poor planning. But in general, I feel like my Ab & Glute workout for home is "weak" (especially in comparison to my gym days, & because I schedule it at night after the kids are in bed, which is maybe unrealistic) and I'm not overly enthusiastic about it. I think I'm going to re-work it. Idk what I'll do, if I'll switch it to the gym, or just change the exercises, or change the day, or what, but I'll think of something. Hoping I can get lil girl to cooperate tomorrow morning to get it done, to stay caught up.


    Have a good one. Read y'all later.



    p.s.-for now, going to go with FitnessBlender Pilates for ab & glute. I have a feeling it will do the trick (he's a great Pilates teacher and I've always been sore when doing FB Pilates in the past). I can always re-adjust later or add my favorite exercises (weighted glute bridges & dumbbell good mornings) or add the gym's ab crunch and torso twist machines for good measure.
