So, I played hockey yesterday. Well, I put my skates on and held a stick. It was "for fun" game, to raise funds for our local hospital foundation. We were all players from the health care system. Well....if you are playing with guys, there is no such thing as "for fun". I was slightly terrified out there with these guys flying around me, so I was more like a pylon. I did manage to get an assist, which means I did touch the puck with my stick. lol. In the end, it was fun and I didn't manage to stay upright and no injuries. Oh, and I was the only one out there not in full hockey gear.

Followed that by a short walk before I headed back to a 3 hour meeting.

Good day kids, TRX and bootcamp done. I was unable to really workout like I wanted last week due to caretaking and active shooter simulations at work. My friend lost her cancer battle last night. I am happy she is no longer suffering and wasting away. I hope all of you have a great day ahead. Welcome back Beeps.

@caramelgyrlk - I’m sorry about your friend. That’s a hard road.

I’ve been on a work trip this week, with family tagging along. I brought running gear and my bike, but haven’t done either one, and I haven’t logged much of anything. I walked into our HQ to find a manager/employee conflict already in progress, and it’s going south fast. Potentially leading to a lawsuit. The stress is making it hard to sleep, much less eat properly or exercise. Today is the last day here, so I’ll do my best. Lots of deep breathing and stepping back to regain my perspective.

On the up side, this is the first time I've felt emotionally that I was qualified for the job I've been asked to do. My imposter syndrome has taken a back seat to the knowledge that I’m the one best suited to handle this issue. So there’s that.

Have a good day, folks!

I certainly hope so @Djproulx. I was starting to feel like my old running self a while back - then I got sick and was out of the game for over a month. Now....I find I am trying so hard to get that back. I know it is because I have gained a few of the pounds I lost back and am struggling to get them off again.

@caramelgrylk - am sorry for the loss of your friend.

@_TMac_ - love the confidence in your posts! You rock!

great photo, honey!! I really do like the photos - why is that?!?!?

Sorry about your friend, caramel. That sucks so much. My condolences.

sdereski - are you running outside?? It is still like -10C here all the time. I f-ing hate where I live right now.

Okay, so I did yoga on Thursday. Good. I felt good. Friday, I lifted, and somehow my IT bands just tightened up like, OMG....so, today I head into my stepcardio and I can hardly work my legs at all. Sigh.

It is SO HARD to re-start...I feel like I have lost 6 months progress. And, truly, I was gone for like 10 days from the gym, and we walked like a shyte-ton every dang day we were away. Sigh.

I am going to FORCE myself to lift on Sunday, even though I am in such DOMs pain. Even if I only do 2 sets. I have to do this.

BOOM.

Hi guys, been awhile since I checked in.

@caramelgirlk @Beeps2011 I'm still here. Haven't really checked in for a while, gave up trying to catch up after a few pages since I'm 270 threads behind!

Same old here. We don't get kettlebell as often as I'd like. Need to refocus and up my weights during the resistance portion of kettlebell.

Was really looking forward to getting outside and hiking or at least long walks with the kids, but currently we're having a weekend ice storm!

I love my kickboxing but without steady kettlebell I feel like in losing ground, clothes fit ok and I'm steady on weight 137-139 lbs, as usual I'd like to get down to 135, but as usual, my sweet tooth is my undoing. Hoping to cut my daily mocha starting this week and I didn't bake this weekend.

Starting to research for our trip to Cost Rica next winter and I've booked a night at a B&B in July for our anniversary and going to book a night around Niagara for the kids and I in July to go hiking.

Keep meaning to get to hot yoga on Sundays, but never seem to get out the door. Going to set my alarm a bit early and see if I can find a yoga video to do before work.

@caramelgirlk I've been having issues syncing my fitbit lately.

Hi everyone, I’m new here. Hoping to get my act together and get on track with better eating & exercise. I’m planning on going to kickboxing tomorrow. Any other kickboxers here? Great workout, not easy!

@Beeps2011 Amazing what a bit of yoga can do to us. We need it, but man oh man, one can hurt afterward. Good on you to keep going.
Yes, I am running outside and it is freaking cold! I too hate where I live at the moment. We just got another shitload of snow overnight and still more falling.

I did get a great 4 hour snowshoe hike in yesterday. It was cold and windy, but we were a bit protected in the bush. At the top of the mountains, the wind was so strong!
Here is a picture of an ice wall we came upon on our hike. Gorgeous!

@sdereski , nice picture!

My reducing sugar week has not started well. Crapy cold wet weather so I got my mocha after walking here and then I remembered the jubjubes in my desk.
