My exercise yesterday was a fun one.
I went hiking with my husband and youngest son (37) tk a beautiful waterfall on the Blue Ridge Parkway here in NC. It was a 1.6 mile round trip. The weather was perfect with low humidity. The rhododendrons were in full bloom.

Love the waterfall. I could have used that this week when it was 85 here. I had to use the Pacific Ocean instead.

Gorgeous pictures! The flowers are beautiful. We walked around a lake and saw a lot of baby ducks. Next time I will get some pictures to share.0

Hike looks beautiful!
Yesterday was weights. I've been having trouble with my right knee (squating, lunges, step ups, walking down stairs...) I've been modifying some of those since the begining. I added in some physio exercises in addition to the modifications and it seems to be helping.
Today is just a low key day of walking. We are taking the kids to the science center.

I keep my walking clothes (pants, tops, undies) in a designated place so I can put them on first thing to go walking. I put on my headphones, turn on the audio book or music on my phone and I'm ready to go out the door with a jacket and outwear, if needed. I have dogs to walk, so I walk each one quickly to do business, then come in for breakfast, spiritual reading, and a quick peek at MFP, then go out again for a longer walk. I have exactly the same routine and same breakfast every morning so I don't have to bother my brain or waste time making decisions.0 -

So our swimming pool finally opened today. It has been closed since July 4. I swam for 55 minutes today. It felt so good to be back swimming again.

Body Pump...60 sweaty minutes!0

Today was Swimming 60 minutes and then weight lifting for 40 min.0

I used the recumbent bike yesterday. I managed 30 minutes at 15 rpm, about 7 miles. I'll do it again tonight.
I need to put the bike back into required not optional behavior.
I also need to pick up the arm weights and move them; not just across/around the room, but up and down for awhile. My batwings will never wave goodbye if I don't make them leave.

Today was walking I did over 13,000 steps today. And I did about 15 minutes of aerobics.
I under estimate my exercise and over estimate my food, so there are no surprises. These pictures are simply beautiful 0 -

That is just brilliant! I can't tell you how much time I waste trying to figure what to eat for breakfast, when to exercise, and what to wear to exercise. I drive myself nuts before 7 a.m. almost everyday!0 -
30 minutes personal training upper body.
30 minutes power walking.0 -
30 minute walk this morning. Tonight is weights; triceps and lats with my trainer.0

I'm calling this week "Bike Week". Goal is to use the bike 30 minutes every day this week.
It's a white lie, because I will probably also call next week "Bike Week", and the next one, until I have "Bike Month", but whatever keeps me thinking it will end or makes me love it into a habit is my goal.
It's how I trick myself into more time walking as well. Almost done, almost done, done... can I do just 2 more minutes? YEA! next time, how about 5 more minutes?
I tell you this whole thing is a great big mind game.0 -
@ Eninad..do you have some good music to listen or a good tv program you like to watch while riding? That usually does it for me...especially music.

Lately I've been trying to bike a full episode of NCIS. That's about 40 minutes. I've done it once or twice so far, but not consistently yet. Right now when the 30 minute timer goes off I'm like DONE, soaked and ready to stop... but I've been teasing out a few more minutes as I can.
My main rule on this journey is to do things I'm willing to do forever. Making 30 minutes a daily requirement, whether it's walking or biking or moving the weights, has been the most recent focus. Currently I get about 3 or 4 out of 7 days on target. It was easier before summer, I was 6 out of 7 days for 3 months. I'm trying to get it back with the whole "Bike Week" thing. I know I'll be walking again in the fall. In the fall though, I want to do BOTH (walking and bike) to get a full hour, but that's the fall's goal. I'm also hoping to interval in the winter (walk, jog/walk)
I'm a firm believer in what it takes to get you something is what it takes to keep that something. If I can't get it a habit, I'll slide back to fat.0 -
I just did my longest bike. I got my daughter to share some of her favorite techno anime music and she challenged me past my normal 30 minutes, song after song. This one is only 3 minutes. I didn't want her to see Momny quitting.... 52 minutes total, yeah.

Eninad -Great job on your longest ride, and setting a good example for your daughter, we definitely cant let ourselves go back to not caring or tracking, we will go up in weight for sure.
