Power to my town went out early this morning so instead of starting my taxes, I cleaned out some drawers and closets.
Then I decided to take a walk. I came across a shopping cart about 2 miles from it's store, so decided to push it and return it. Along the way I picked up any trash I came across. It came to about 3/4 full by the time I got it to the store. I emptied the trash, washed my hands and was going to walk a bit further.
Then I noticed that my phone must have fallen.out if my pocket while bending I over to pick up trash somewhere.
So I hustled back along my route, checking behind bushes and against fences where I had been. I finally found it, such a relief!
This is the 2nd time I've lost and found my phone while picking up trash. I need to remember to put it in my pack instead of my pocket.
We finally got electricity back on about an hour ago, guess I have to work on taxes tomorrow.

How freaking cool are you?! Well done!!

I have been working out at the gym for awhile, but have always avoided running on the treadmill. Even though I am pretty in shape now, I had this thought that I would only be able to run for 30 seconds and need to stop. Decided to give it a try tonight and was able to run for 10 minutes without much of a problem! I might have a new hobby

I can FINALLY see some weight loss in my stomach!!!!!!!!

My son (11 years old) was hugging my hips and said that I am not as squishy as I used to be. And then he added, very seriously, "That's good and bad." LOL

My gym is a 15 minute walk from my apartment and I always walk. It was 7F and felt like -4 when I needed to go to the gym this morning. I WENT ANYWAY.

Also, my workout was great and I upped my squatting weight to 55lbs.

I turned down a gym opportunity for a marriage opportunity.

After many many months of hip rehab and activity modification, then forearm tendinitis, I finally got back to a deadlift over my body weight (5x135)! Still a good way off where I was 7 months ago, but I felt good!

Those are important.

The 1st bootcamp session for 2019 was yesterday. I survived it! Not only did I survive it, I actually feel like I done pretty darn well for having 6 weeks off from intense workouts. I even managed to jog most of our warm up. Usually I jog to the corner, then walk until the fastest person passes me on his way back then turn around. Yesterday I jogged to the corner, walked the rest of the way to the grid and then very sloy jogged back to the gym. I was the second last person back to the gym, but I was proud that I actually went the whole way. (Our instructor always said we could turn around once the fastest person passed us on our way back so I've just always done that)
The instructor asked if I'd lost a fair amount of weight. So far I've lost about 7kg, I didn't think it would be noticeable yet, but he said he could definitely tell 😁
Woke up this morning and done w3d2 of c25k. It was very slow! But the important thing is that I kept pushing and finished it off. I opened the mytracks app with about a minute and a half left of my final jog and made myself stay above 8.4km/h for that final part, I was a bit slower with the rest of them, but wanted to finish strong 😁

Slept in until after 6 this morning but still went out for my walk/jog. Done w2d2 of c25k again, working on speed. I was aiming to stay above 8km/hour. I did slip under that in run number 5, but pushed myself and got back above it. Got a stitch after run 3, usially that would be an excuse to just stop and walk the rest of the way, this morning I just paused the app until the stitch went away then resumed it. On the first jog interval, I hit about 11km/h, I rememered getting excited last year for hitting 12km/h on a sprint, it was hard! This morning hitting 11km/h wasn't too bad, I actually hit it without realising it and had to have a second look. I decided to test myself in t the end of my last jog, so with 10 seconds to go I started sprinting. I was huffing and puffing pretty hard and those 10 seconds felt likea minute, but I hit 13.2km/h! So proud, that's my fastest speed on the road to date (15km/h on the treadmill for almost 30 seconds last year) Think I'm going to test my speed once a week at the end of the last jog interval.
I also think I'll stick on weeks 2 & 3 for a few more weeks until I'm doing a decent pace on week 3.
