I had an unintentional rest day yesterday.
I did the 30-minute Burn Fat Fast with Improved Health this morning.
@Elfirose33 We also have a steep hill/ditch combo in our yard. No one likes to mow it. We hold out until sometime in May to give the bees 🐝 time to wake up. We planted pounds of white clover seed in that area the past couple of years as well. Ultimately, we hope to have the clover be dominated over the grass in the next few years. It's nice during the summer droughts when the yard is covered in tiny white flowers and not dead grass. 😃0 -
Yesterday was my rest day, but I still worked up a good sweat playing trumpet at a swing band rehearsal and I held a 1 minute plank.
@Deeder522 Oh what a good idea!! I'll look into that! Thanks!

20-minute low-impact cardio with Improved Health. I wanted something a little lighter this morning, and that pretty much fit the bill if the bill included multiple rounds of jogging in place. 😳🤣
It's a nice sunny day at the moment. Looks like we're in for a nice weekend before the next temperature dip. I have a small work machine coming in. Yesterday, I finished assembling our 2nd adjustable desk that will replace the stationary ones we've had for years. These should be helpful for Ry when/if he needs to assist me.I hope you all have good plans for the weekend. 😀

@Elfirose33 playing in a swing band sounds like an awesome workout!!
@Deeder522 not sure how jogging is low impact but way to go!! I also love the clover idea!!
On Thursday I did C25k with lapsed around the basement. Friday I did one of the Walk-Run-Lift sessions to get some resistance band training. Was ok, but there are others I like better. Today I finished week 2 of C25k outside. And forgot to hit the start workout button on my Garmin. 🤦♀️Oh well, at least the steps counted, lol.
Gorgeous day here so my girlfriend and I are going for a beach walk and lunch soon. Weather is iffy next week and really want to be doing the C25k outside now, so going to have to figure out a better schedule.

Yesterday I did not end up doing a HASfit workout as planned. However, yesterday I did walk Dottie 20 minutes and I did my 1 minute plank. All day yesterday I was not looking forward to doing my plank because the last two days' worth of 1-minute planks were sooo intense, but last night's 1-minute plank was actually a breeze! Such a nice surprise:)
@Deeder522 That will be so good having another adjustable desk! Enjoy the nice weekend!
@megd44 My swing band is fun for sure! It's a pretty good workout, too, I think:) Great workouts! Wow, a walk on the beach then lunch sounds wonderful! Good luck figuring out another schedule…hopefully warmer weather is making its way to you soon!

I was able to get out to a park today and 1.7 miles outside. 🥳 Some parts of the unpaved pathways were a little soggy yet, but I still had a good walk. I'm a little sluggish from the muscle relaxer I took last night for my shoulder and back area, but dang, if those things don't put me out. 🤣

Today I did not go to Step class as planned because I wasn't feeling well, but I somehow did manage to hold a 1 minute 30 second plank! It was hard to hang in there for that extra 30 seconds, but I can tell I'm getting stronger by the day.
@Deeder522 Nice walk! I hope your shoulder and back feel better soon.

Yesterday, I walked 1.3 miles at the Township Park. This morning, I did the Purple Walk and the 5-minute Energy Boost Walk.
After months of waiting, this week, our dining room wall and built-in hutch will finally be repaired after the damage from last Fall's bathroom remodel. I'm excited to get all my glassware back where it should be. Also, not having the attic air leak into the house will be helpful for all of us.@Elfirose33 Way to Go On that Plank! That's an awesome hold!!

@Elfirose33 way to hold that plank!!
@Deeder522 great walks outside. Good news on your wall and built in too.
Yesterday I did one of Leslie's mix and match blends and added the flexibility walk for something lighter.
Today it was 51 degrees when I got up, so I did the C25k outside, using our U shaped driveway for laps, so only on the road for a few hundred feet, if that. I need to get reflective clothing is I am going to run before work. Week 3 of the app added 3 minute run segments. I got through them and didn't die, lol. Knee still holding up too. We are supposed to get a weather change tonight (maybe snow!!!) so it'll be Thursday before my next run session.

Yesterday was a plank rest day, so I took advantage of that! Walked Dottie 20 minutes. Still wasn't feeling 100% so I mostly just took it easy yesterday. Today I feel much better! Today I did 60 minutes Boot Camp, I mowed the front yard 45 minutes, I walked Dottie 20 minutes, and I held a 1 minute 40 second plank (whew!).
@Deeder522 Good walks. Hooray for all the repairs! That will be so nice when everything is all back to normal again. And thank you!! Oh my goodness, every day with that plank is such an effort now, lol! 😅
@megd44 Thank you!! All I can do is try like crazy with the planks, lol! The flexibility walk sounds nice. That's fantastic that you got to be outside!! Wow, excellent job on the 3 minute segments! Sounds intense. Glad your knee is holding up. Oh no, sorry to hear about snow in the forecast, hang in there!

I'm back and walking! 😂 We had a great time walking the beach with friends and finding shells. They spend the winter in Murrells Inlet, SC which is right on the Atlantic coast and it was not … hot, so walking was a lot of fun! It was warm in the sun though. When we went to VA we visited Monticello which we had never been to before. It is a beautiful house and grounds for flower lovers. Over all, a lot of walking, which was great for me!!! However, I will not fly United again!! Awful compared to Delta. ✈️
You all have been busy! @Elfirose33 a 90 second plank???? What a role model for me to aspire to next month!!!! I bow to your greatness!!! @megd44 your C25k training is getting serious! I am thinking you are going to do it!!! @Deeder522 I KNOW Tyler is a saint if DEMO is something that any woman refers to as "went great!" 🤣 DEMO in this house means a mess for me to clean up!!! It was great to hear all your triumphs when I was gone!!! It kept me stepping toward my goals!!!
My plan for this week is a 3 mile tomorrow, 2 mile on Friday, 3 Mile on Saturday and 5 mile on Sunday. However, the neighbor that I visited in SC will be coming home Tuesday or Wednesday as her sister is being taken off a ventilator on Friday and is expected to pass away. I will be getting her house ready for her and helping her as much as I can to be ready for all the out of town guests she will have. So, if I am MIA from the plan, that is why. Such a sad Easter for them as well as having to cut their time away short. 😥 I am glad to be back though!!! 😃

Today I walked Dottie 30 minutes, I held a 1 minute 50-second plank, then completed 10 Russian Twists, each side, using two 5-lb dumbbells, and did 10 minutes Gentle Yoga 💗
@Deeder522 How exciting, and I'm so happy for you!! I love it when everything comes together:)
@zichab Welcome home, and well done! Outstanding miles logged and your vacation sounds wonderful! So glad you had a good time! Aw, thanks so much for cheering and supporting me and my planks! I still have a long way to go to reach my April end goal, but I'm going to hang in there and follow the schedule day by day. So sorry about your friend and her sister; that's such a difficult thing to go through at Easter, and at any time. I've been through a similar sort of a very difficult loss myself at Easter a couple of years ago. You are a great friend.
