Check in for Monday
✅Steps 9,143
✅Sleep
✅Walk
✅ 8/8 reminders to move
It was nice to see all green on my goals. As I said yesterday, I won’t be walking today. I will aim for my 8/8 but overall I think it will be a low step day. I am off to play video games, board games and cards all day. I am getting my granddaughter pizza for lunch but I will not be having any. My supper tonight is higher in calories than usual so my lunch needs to be light.
Have a terrific day!5 -

Good morning team, wow I have a lot to catch up on! Yesterday was my first day back to the office in well over a year so back to commuting is a bit exhausting!

Exercise 3mile loop at lake
Met my parents at the lake at 630am. Both to beat the heat and get back home before my nieces arrived. My day then pretty much consisted of entertaining the kids haha. It was too hot to walk to the playground so I filled the water table out back and also hooked up a water toy to the hose that sprayed water into the air. In the evening, after the girls left, I just made some more homemade snack bars for my husband cuz he ran out.3 -

My resting heart rate is going in the wrong direction. It went down to 59 and over the last while it has slowly increased up to 70. I am beyond frustrated. Can’t figure it out!1

I love CrossFit. I also train heavy lifting. I lift because too much cardio tends to put my heart into fits of arrhythmia and tachycardia. Muscle building burns more fat and that's what I need to get rid of. No Strongman here just a love of heavy lifting. I began my exercise through walking 150# worth of dogs that no matter what wanted to go faster than I did. So it was cardio and resistance. I also do an elliptical that you can sit to ride a bike or recumbent even. Those helped me build endurance. Now I only do 20 mins standing to get my 3.25 miles in for my monthly miles goal. Running on pavement is not a choice but I can on the elliptical. I hope one day to walk a half marathon. My trainer /friend says sure you can run it... First CrossFit class in ages first thing was run 400 meters. Asthma kicked in and no inhaler.... Yeah I really don't know if I will ever be able to run outside unassisted. Sorry this is so long but exercise is the only way I lose. I have to constantly push myself or my body doesn't change. Like I said I started by walking then the trio trainer then the CrossFit gym now working with a friend that is a trainer. I haven't even mentioned kayaking hiking and aerial yoga. Yes I get bored easily so I mix it up. One of my favorite NSVs was when I could carry my own kayak. Ok I am going to hush now.☺️4 -

Sorry I have been lazy with posting I have less alone time with the kids home. Sunday did get some time to shop for family photos for when we go away in late Aug. I have a love hate of photos of myself. Yesterday spent some time looking for jobs and got my workout and some cleaning done around the house. Met a friend for dinner and the place we wanted to go had a wait that was too long so went to another spot where I didn’t love the menu. Made the best out of it and still nice to see an old friend and not have to cook.4 -

Thanks Roger .... it was nice to get out there today ...I left Theresa a message but she hasn't replied ... I really hope she comes back when her kids go back to school0 -
Greetings from Cologne! Finally made it after the trains were delayed due to the flooding.
I'm working in our German office this week so I'm away from my normal environment and have been exercising every day this week so far and am SO PROUD haha! In Germany it's also very easy to eat vegan, so I've been doing a lot of that. I return tomorrow evening, so just in time for my weigh-in on Friday morning and am very curious, seeing that I've not weighed myself since last Saturday.
