    Did the gym this morning. Then I tackled washing all the floors - mostly tile throughout the house. Now I’m tired and need a 😴.

    How did that go Bella?

    Reading your post left me exhausted, Yoolypr!

    Bella’s cycling is impressive. Floor washing not so much. But it does use up some calories. 👍

    The cycling went surprisingly well! I limited myself to the 40 minute training session and then just 7 extra minutes to take me past the 20km point - I took it easy, and had no back pain during or afterwards. Yay, result!

    For the past week I've been diligently doing targeted lower back stretches (I even bought a yoga mat!) and they seem to be helping. I had a much better night's sleep last night, and today my back feels much less stiff and sore. I'll stay off the bike tomorrow, then do my second training session on Sunday. It means I won't hit my 50km target this week, but c'est la vie.

    The NEAT calorie burn from housework and other daily activities is nothing to be sneezed at! That's how I burn most of my calories...

    Heavy rain this morning so no outside walking. Did over an hour in the gym yesterday mostly weights and some treadmill. No aches this morning! So today is a rest day with some house cleaning and laundry.

    The temperature has really dropped here the past two mornings...If I can get over my extreme case of chill avoidance this morning, it will be a great walking day!

    I have realized I will do a lot for a t shirt. Hell Week at Orangetheory starts Sunday. You have to complete 5 classes to get the damn T-shirt. I’m all signed up for my 5 classes!
