This week my class kicked my booty. I was so mentally exhausted with the long days that Tuesday and Wednesday NOTHING happened except a lot of laying around before and after class. Yesterday was a better day. I ran/walked in the AM with my Garmin (yay me) and then after work went and joined the YMCA!!!! I realized that I am not going to be able to workout in the morning every day, and most afternoons June-September we have rain after work. So now I have a built in plan B, and a way to workout when I travel, and NO EXCUSES for not having something to do to help me be healthier.
I am also curious/exploring how to NOT have my self-esteem/self-worth wrapped up around the number on the scale or the days I don't make my MUAC goals. I need to be gentler on myself because the stress can send me spiraling.
Weigh in today: 165.8 no change
MUAC yesterday - on point
Today - almost the weekend! Picking up my new cruiser bike and already scheduled a ride with my hubby on Sunday.2 -
Feeling good! Just finished a 20 mile ride 🚴♀️ and an sitting in the AC in the locker room at my gym cooling off. 😎 First time here in 17 months. Tried opening my locker but I appear to have forgotten the combination. 🤣 No problem, it's empty anyway. Stay cool everyone!!4

@annabananamc I feel this. I'm a bit obsessive about exercise, and with little kids and no family, I can't get out as often as I'd like. I am seriously nasty to myself when I can't get out daily, pacing and testy (with myself) like a caged animal.
I'm trying to forgive myself for my missed days (I move a lot and do a lot with the kids, but if it doesn't bring my HR to 145, I often dismiss it as frivolous and worthless, both of which are not true.) I also need to be more flexible and kind and forgiving of myself as I navigate these challenging summer months.
As an example, I set my alarm to get up and go to the gym at 5am this week to say "Hey Fatty, get your *kitten* up and go to the gym." I mean, I'd be appalled if I heard that any of my friends or children or teammates had done that, but here I am, being so unkind to myself while I teach unconditional kindness to my people. I mean, I coach a group for Girls on the Run, for goodness sake!!
Let's work on that self-love, woman!!

Exercise: meh. I walked my youngest to and from the bus stop a few blocks away and I hauled the wagon filled with kids stuff to and from the pool and I played with them in the pool. Shot some hoops with my twins for a bit. Nothing heavy but moving. So. Darn. Hot. 😕

Trying to stay positive this weekend... @CycleMomOf3 I hear you loud and clear - we are definitely similar in this regard.
Picked up my new cruiser bike and hubby and I went for a short spin. Of course, I didn't test ride at the shop and the bottom bracket is creaky, so will need to take it back next week. Other than that, it is a sweet ride, and I can't wait for my road bike to be back from the shop, too. Cycling is starting to sound fun again, especially with my husband!
I'm volunteering with our local bird rescue and I have my first transport this morning (red tide toxicity) so I may not get to exercise before we head to an afternoon wedding. But I'm going to be ok with that!3 -

@CycleMomOf3 I'm super excited for you receiving your new Garmin, and that I can see you in our little challenge, now!
I'm sure you will explore many of the cool features this weekend! 1 -

@annabananamc I am so happy that you turned a stressful week around! I hope that getting the YMCA membership will help you reinforce that plan B. Is the YMCA a transferable membership, where you can check in to other clubs under the same membership? I have been considering a YMCA membership at a discounted rate through my group. I definitely encourage being gentler on yourself! I often become too strict/harsh when I don't achieve my goals(and that has been happening a lot lately), but it is something that I definitely don't recommend. Stay positive, enjoy your new gym membership, and you CAN do this! 0 -

@CycleMomOf3 sorry to tag you in a second post, but definitely do not be so hard on yourself! You are doing a great job with the exercise you are getting in, but weight loss 100% is completed by a calorie deficit, exercise only makes that deficit bigger, or allows you to consume a few extra calories when you need it. Don't talk negatively to yourself, and treat yourself how you want others to treat you or how you treat them! You can do this!
Any exercise that gets you moving is a step in the right direction, even if it doesn't get your heart rate up. For example, strength training is just as important as cardio is, and it doesn't often raise your heart rate that high! Even if you don't get out for some cardio, do some intermittent push-ups, sit ups, planks, etc. spread throughout the day, and your body will thank you for that, too! Even if you fit these things in while doing different tasks- squats while brushing your teeth, a wall sit while waiting for a pot of water to boil, some push-ups or sit ups when you happen to watch TV and need a moving break, calf raises while waiting in line at the store, etc. Even if you walk around your house for ten minutes at an easy pace is better than not doing anything at all!

@annabananamc I am just catching up with posts, so I am sorry for a second post but your local bird rescue volunteer work sounds exciting! I don't know much about birds, other than they fly, are pretty, and are admired from inside the house by my kitten. I hope your first transport was a success, and you thoroughly enjoyed the wedding today!
Your cruiser bike sounds exciting! I have two bikes (a hybrid and a mountain bike) that I need to tinker around with a little bit to get them on the road. I love that you and hubby have something you can enjoy together! That is really important and exciting(other than having to get the new bike and the road bike fixed!) Have a great weekend! 0 -
