Today I went swimming 90 minutes and walked Dottie 30 minutes. @lois2077 Yes, for sure, it's normal to want it all to happen fast. Not craving sweets and not being hungry is a huge win, well done! Good weight loss too. Sounds like a great HIIT workout! You're on your way!

Today I did Step for 60 minutes, rolled some stiff sore muscles on the Foam Roller for 30 minutes, mowed 15 minutes, gardened 25 minutes, and walked Dottie 30 minutes. @lois2077 Good to see you! 😊 Thank you! Dottie is my dad's dog, a very sweet American Bulldog. Sometimes my dad needs some help getting her walked and I'm…

Today I did 30 minutes personal training and walked Dottie 25 minutes. @Deeder522 All the best to you with the food. You can do it! @megd44 A river trip sounds wonderful! Have fun!

Last night I walked Dottie 25 minutes. Today I worked in the garden for two hours. @lclark04957 Good job getting your workout done even though you didn't want to! And hang in there, you'll be back on track with the food in no time at all 💛 @Deeder522 Thanks! The grass grew fast because it rained a lot in June and we have a…

Today I did my personal training session for 30 minutes, mowed for 75 minutes, and gardened for 30 minutes.

Sunday I worked in the garden for 90 minutes. Yesterday I was so bummed I couldn't go to my Boot Camp class because my dad ended up needing help at the last minute. But I'm glad I can help my dad. @lois2077 A big warm welcome to you! Congratulations on completing one week of your program, excellent work! And, well done on…

Today I did Step class for 60 minutes and then mowed for 35 minutes. @zichab Thank you so much for telling me that!! 😊💜 @Deeder522 Good that you got some rest. Your bread sounds delish!

Today I did my personal training session for 30 minutes, then mowed for 20 minutes before the storms roll in this evening. @Deeder522 Good mile and squats! @zichab Good to see you, thanks so much for checking in! 😊 It's great you're feeling better now, such a relief. Excellent ascent of Coney Mountain, especially after…

Today I did 75 minutes Tai Chi, did my personal training workout for 30 minutes, and mowed for 30 minutes.

Today I worked in the garden 2 hours, and then tonight I did a very sweaty 20-minute workout at home that my personal trainer assigned me, at my request, in place of the workout I missed on the 4th. Whew, I did it, and I'm so proud of myself! Feeling great now! @lclark04957 I know the feeling of needing to get back on…

Yesterday I got a great workout cleaning my house all day long, and I had the best time ever doing it! All of the holiday activity was fun, but it was nice to have a whole day to myself, and I require that at times. Last night Mark and I just floated on the lake in two new raft loungers we bought recently, very relaxing.…

Today is my rest day (Thursdays). I mowed 60 minutes, which I regard as a cross-country weighted walk and wrangle over hill and dale, rock and ridge, and always a challenge. Happy 4th!

Today I did Tai Chi 85 minutes ☯️ @Deeder522 Great goals and nice way to start the month strong! Good idea to add the new goal that your arms will appreciate:) And good job to Ry and those laps! @lclark04957 Perfect goals for your July! 💜 Such a nice and easy feel of just going with the flow… I love it!! 😎 And way to go…

Yesterday I walked Dottie 30 minutes, did personal training 30 minutes, and mowed 25 minutes.

My July Goals (5 Goals): Continue personal training sessions, twice a week (generally on Tuesdays and Fridays) Eat for success in the gym by following this guidance: "Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch, and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat."…

Thank you all for the good performances wishes! Everything went really well, and even the weather came through for outdoor theater in spite of all the rain predictions slated for Sunday night, which was our final performance night. Every night this past week was a special workout all it's own: hauling gear cross country,…

Today I accomplished personal training session #5 for 30 minutes. Whew! And once again, true to form, he wore me out completely!! I guess that's what I hired him for 😅 Tonight I will be hauling all my music gear to the outdoor Theater in the Park to perform in the musical Annie (I'm a trumpeter in the Pit Band). Tonight is…

Yesterday I gardened for 90 minutes and mowed for 45.

Edit: the pole I used as a walking stick with the lunges wasn't for balancing, it was for stability 😅 And I was so thankful to have it!

Today I accomplished my personal training session #4 for 30 minutes total. In all, I managed 3 full rounds in the 10 minute AMRAP circuit. My totals from all 3 rounds were: stationary bicycle (I don't know my actual time on the bike), 18 walking lunges (each leg, with each lowering knee lightly touching the floor, and I…

Saturday I went to Step class for 35 minutes and walked Dottie for 30 minutes. Saturday night I had a playing gig where I somehow managed to haul all my music gear, plus a chair and my heavy music stand to and from an outdoor gig in very strong wind. (We played the gig in the strong wind, too, a real challenge for all of…

I need to edit this sentence to clarify, as the little window of time for making corrections closed before I could fix this: "It took me approximately 60-90 seconds or so to accomplish this each round…" (meaning the stationary bicycle part). Thanks! I feel better now having clarified this 😂

Today I completed my personal training session #3 where the main work, aside from the wonderful warm-up and cool down, was an AMRAP for 15 minutes (AMRAP means As Many Rounds As Possible). The circuit for the AMRAP included: stationary bicycle to reach a specific marker at a manageable pace for the entire duration + 10…

Today I completed Personal Training Session #2 for 30 minutes and it went great! I couldn't believe how fast the 30 minutes flew by today, and all of it was so much fun! I did a circuit of rowing machine, box steps, and incline standing push-ups with a bar (using the bar in the same way that one might do push-ups at the…

Today I mowed for 30 minutes then walked Dottie for 25 minutes. @megd44 I hope you can get some more rest 🧡 Wow, outstanding job being on track!!! I'm sure that was no easy feat, well done! @Deeder522 Nice rest day. Oh that's fun with all the dogs! Good job walking in the dust and heat. I love slow walks the best.

Yesterday I walked Dottie 25 minutes. Update to my June goals: I have decided to stop doing personal lunges this month, as of yesterday, due to having a fantastic personal trainer in my life now. The lunges he's having me do (and everything else too) are so much harder than the ones I was doing on my own (even though mine…

Today I walked Dottie 30 minutes and I worked in the garden 30 minutes pulling weeds and watering. Tonight I'll do some stretches.

Thursday was a rest day. Yesterday I got my first personal training session, and wow, he expertly packed an awesome little workout circuit and assessment into 30 minutes! I'm so impressed. Yesterday was Lunge Day for me, but I didn't want to do my 30 lunges before my session and I couldn't do them after 😅 The good thing,…

Today I did Tai Chi for 65 minutes, walked Dottie 30 minutes, did 60 stationary lunges (not all at once) each leg. And now I'm all caught up on the lunges from the day I missed! And I did my leg stretches. @Deeder522 We also say "pop" in MO. It's a Midwestern thing, I guess. Anyway, good job reducing pop! Thanks! Me too,…

Yesterday I walked Dottie 30 minutes and did my leg stretches. Now for the Reveal (Part 1): Yesterday I learned that I will be doing a total of 6 personal training sessions (30 minutes each) for the next 3 weeks, for 2 days a week on Tuesdays and Fridays. The first two personal training sessions or so will be an assessment…
