    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.
