@Madwife2009 - I do love your posts, they set me up for the day. You have achieved so much. You embody true grit and determination. I know you’ll continue to inspire once you’ve done your cycle leader course.
What a lovely thing to say! Thank you, that's brightened my day more than the sun (at last, we have sun).
I'm really looking forward to that course, which has surprised me somewhat. Hopefully I'll be able to do some rides aimed at families as I'm a firm believer in starting good habits in the younger generation, especially as they usually take their lead from their parents.
Dragged my two youngest out earlier for a six mile walk today without too many complaints. By the time we got home, they were both saying how much they'd enjoyed it. We saw all sorts of things, from newly-emerging flowers adding a splash of colour to the dull winter environment to a black swan among hundreds of white swans to four deer grazing on a patch of land in the middle of a housing estate. Fairly warm and sunny, it was wonderful.15 -
Just graduated from a 5k training plan to a half marathon training plan.23

are they short of bars too? I used to have 2 bars by my step, warm up/shoulder weight and then a heavier one for squats onwards
Weights, bars, clips, space...
I'm using the university gym because it's cheap, especially when you're an alumnae, and the classes run at more convenient times than the gym that's actually more local. However it is possible that the 'cheap' part comes with some down sides
(When one class was oversubscribed, which should never happen, we ran out of clips. After warm-up, which I did with dumbbells because I WAS NOT GOING TO MISS MY PUMP FOR ANYTHING, the instructor gave me hers and did the entire rest of the routine with just a plain bar.)10 -
My period symptoms have improved significantly ever since I started walking regularly (at the mall, since the weather has been so terrible, and the mall is nearby). This most recent one almost snuck up on me, when usually I can tell a week in advance that one's coming just from the cravings, back pain, stomach cramps, etc.26

Best compliment I've received.
Great and funny NSV! I have 2 teenagers and understand that for them to be outside their own head to notice and then to actually say something is huge14 -
200 days of food logging!27

Brought three friends with me to Ladies Night at the climbing gym and had a blast! I made it up two bouldering routes that had foiled me up till now (it felt so good when my friend was watching me do one and said, “how did you do that??”), made it another move further along on my “push” route, and made it up some challenging (for me!) top rope routes.
And even better, I knew when to call it quits, so I’m only a bit sore today, not enough to keep me from deadlifting today or climbing tomorrow night.15 -
Fell off the workout bandwagon in June 2018. Back injury and then a bunch of excuses that followed. This morning I set my alarm for 5:20am, rolled out of bed without hitting snooze and went to the gym to walk on the treadmill before work. Slowly easing back into the running!
TLDR; went to the gym for the first time in 7 months. Didn’t die!31 -
After loosing 60lbs and then re-gaining 12 lbs. I met with a personal trainer who got me thinking of weight/strength training. So I got back into the gym a few weeks ago and picked up the free weights. I can't believe it, I actually like lifting and core training. I'm a 61 yo woman who NEVER did this. I was a 3 times a week Zumba person. Now I work out 3 times a week and still do 1 class of zumba. Seeing results already. One happy lady over here!32

Last night, my personal trainer looked at me, during our session, and said "wow - you've lost weight and are toning up nicely! That's awesome! I'm so proud". He went on saying he wanted to take photos of us together, every 2 months as progress photos. I agreed because a) he has a business to maintain and it's great marketing and b) he asked me!
I am still chuffed about that!26 -
I tried a hybrid cycle yesterday and was not scared to ride it.11

I did a 9am high intensity class, modified (cross trainer as can’t run on injured foot) gym workout for an hour then a 2nd class of core training with a killer instructor! And I didn’t die lol.
I have never been fit enough to work out for 3 hours before, ever!
And earlier in the week I was bummed out as toe injury halted running training, but didn’t want to lose fitness gains until injury better, so changed up the plans and I’m loving it, I love being able to do even the littlest things that I couldn’t do before, our bodies are amazing, and I’m just starting to see what I’m made of lol 😁15 -
I ran my fastest mile in several years - 10:37. I've been running consistently for the last few weeks in the 11:15 - 11:30 range and decided to push myself this morning. Next goal, breaking 10:00. I'm never going to be fast, but I can always strive to be a little faster!29

I did not have a single sweet or piece of candy on Valentine's Day31

I've been working on building endurance on the Stairmaster. When I started, it was a huge challenge to make it 20 floors. I've worked my way up to 85 floors in 30 minutes - there's still room for improvement of course but it feels good to see improvement!26

Went down a notch on my Fitbit strap :P24

I had 150calories left this evening. I went prowling through the pantry. Said no to the emergency dark chocolate bar and some crystallized ginger, ignored my stash of almonds (for making milk), bypassed the pretzels, pulled out the graham crackers and put them back. I just finished up an apple and a tablespoon of almond butter. For me, that’s an amazing bit of progress, right there, as was the fact that all the other choices I mentioned in the pantry were themselves a darned sight better than the old days of a family sized sack of M&Ms and umpteen bags of Geneva cookies.33

I didn’t need to sit down to take my boots off yesterday, honestly I forgot what it was like to bend down and not have my stomach crush me forcing me to sit to take them off. I’m so freaking happy!!! Long ways to go but that definitely made my day 🙌🏻31

My husband and I were in Walgreens and I told him to go ahead and get himself some half-price Valentine's chocolate, it wouldn't bother me. Then I looked at the nutritional info and figured out I could handle the carbs if I only ate a couple pieces at a time (diabetic) and I have the calories to spare right now since I've been running a lot and I'm in maintenance. Ate a piece yesterday. Ate another piece today. No urge whatsoever to eat more than I should.
My husband, knowing carbs weren't a good idea, got me olives from the olive bar for Valentine's Day! What a sweet husband!38
