@SherryRueter I work 3 days a week as an RN and my job is pretty physical so I don't generally workout at all on those days, occasionally I may go for a walk when I get home. The other 4 days a week I like to get a lifting session, a walk, and a good stretch in.1

@CeeBeeSlim I am similar to you. Non- weights/strength days I do cardio ish workout. Try not to use weight or do something light like a "slim in 6" workout. I really love to do Kickboxing. I just ain't sure if that's what is meant by a rest day.
For a while I was doing an actual Strech session and/or PiYo (Pilates/Yoga, I taught it for a few years) and loved it. But, Im back to just doing a bazillion minutes of cardio and, I dont' see the "bodybuilder" older women reporting that they do any of that. So I was kinda wondering.
90 and humid beats anything under 50 degrees. Im in tennessee.
Where are you at Ceebeeslim?
Heck what state/country is everyone else from?
Leg day today and tracking my calories. EVERY. BITE. It will be worth it. It will be worth it. It will be worth it. Trying to make that my mantra..... day 2

@SherryRueter - I go back and forth from DC to NC (eldercare). More in NC than home.
PiYo sounds interesting. Any YouTube videos to recommend? For some reason, I just can’t sick with yoga. Dunno - too type A, mind wanders - ironically it makes me antsy.
It’s deload week for me next week! Completed my 12 week program yesterday - I’m definitely stronger and more tone. I’m ambivalent about the “booty gains” - curvier than usual - but all reports are that I look less like a 12 year old boy. Like my arms and back tho - I’ve brushed my teeth 17 times already just to see my deltoids! Just joking - no I’m not. 😁1 -
I fell out of my daily post habit somehow.
I did more than usual exercise last week, and then I did a 5K yesterday.
I was really happy because I did the intervals and my knees did not start to hurt. I came in fifth in my division. 41:30. Nothing to brag about except I went out there and did it!!!
I don't really want to start couch to 5K because I think it's more important that I work on my balance (yoga for me) and the weights. I should make balance my number one priority because it's so awful.
There's only so much time in the day, but there's a part of me that really would like to get faster at running. But when I tried really hard to do that years ago I did not make much progress. However the weightlifting has been the solution, because my breathing was so much better. And I did pretty darn well for somebody who barely trained for it
Running takes the most out of me of anything I do.
Congrats @Happyness4me2. I know I should get on the scales but I'm afraid to. I just want to have one good week first. I have not been doing well this week on food.
@SherryRueter, I usually have a Wednesday and a Saturday rest day. I do think it's essential to at least have one. But I usually walk the dogs on those days.
I should go to yoga as usual today since I slept so well last night. But I needed extra sleep this week and I'm not very motivated. To answer your question, I am from Texas.
@CeeBeeSlim I recommend enjoying every compliment!!!
I will start a December thread.

@zenobia9777 congrats on that 5K! I don't run at all, I have terrible ankles and running equals sprains.0
