    Functional training class. It's always a mix of cardio and weights and my instinct is to always grab the heaviest weight I can move. My goal now is to lose the weight (down 6 pounds in 6 weeks so I'm on schedule) and to improve my cardio health, so I'm lowering the weights a bit so I don't gas out. It's working. My trainer gave me thumbs up today for speeding up my transitions and completing the whole workout in the rx time. Hooray!

    I tried Pickleball on Friday. Surprisingly fun, and a good workout. :)
    I officially joined the grey haired group though....Geesh!

    Yep, I am reserving pickleball for when I am “old”....also swimming and tennis. I hate golf, so won’t do that when I am young OR old.

    Pickleball does look like a ton of fun!

    Remember, you don't have to be grey-haired if you don't wanna'! HAHA! Think camouflage!

    This morning's workout. Hex bar deadlifts. Bench presses. Dumbbell lunges. Sounded easy. Was not. Trainer lies. :D

    I am so bored of lifting....yet, today, I lift. It has become chore-like. I need to reinvigorate.

    Functional training at 8am, then went back at noon to do Day 1 of Couch to 5k with a friend. I'm determined to be able to run a mile (or a 5k) without feeling like I"m gonna die.

    Heard that, Beeps. But I hate the soreness that returns every time I lay off for a week or three. It's Hobson's choice, for certain.

    Happy Monday kids, I am all squatted out and benched out. I have openers this upcoming Saturday and the competition is Saturday, October 5th. My nerves are becoming a little unsettled. I remember being this way when I ran my first 5k. My singlet came and I tried it on and walked out of the bathroom to show my family; they asked me "How did I feel about the singlet"? my reply, "I look like a seal" and tried to imitate a seal's bark and the laughter caused me to snort (lol). Why did I sign up for this again? Oh yeah, because I get bored easily and I love challenges. :D Have a great day kids.

    Started C25K with a friend. I've been getting strong in the past two years but I need to improve my cardio.
    Also signed up for my gym's fitness competition - I know my partner and I won't win - there are much fitter people at our gym - but the entrance fee goes to charity and it's just a fun thing to do.

    C25K Day 3.
    Today the walking felt slow (3pmh) and the running felt fast (5mph).

    Strength class last night. Deadlifts (I went light) and dumbell chest press (I went super heavy for me) Training chest press with 35lb dumbells for my gym's fitness competition in a few weeks. Prior to last night I'd only done 30lbs for volume. Last night I did 35's for 7 sets of 10 and 3 sets of 7. I hope I don't need anything on a high shelf today!
    Planning on running this afternoon which I'm surprisingly looking forward to. (Don't tell anyone)

    Hey kids, I have openers this Saturday and was informed to let my body rest. I took the dogs on a hike and my body appreciated the lighter side of working out today. Have a great day kids.

    Another mostly solid week...I did miss some workouts due to scheduling issues, and I definitely could use more sleep this week...however food has been on point, so overall it's a good day!
