🧘🏼‍♂️🤾🏻‍♀️Getting Sweaty Again: The 3rd Circuit 🚴🏼‍♂️🏋🏼‍♀️

[CaffeinatedHub45]

Not sure how I did it, but after a week of calorie counting and exercise, I'm up 2 pounds. If I drink a lot of wine tonight, can I at least count it as a serving of fruit?

Rest day Friday spent an hour in a hyperbaric chamber.
25 miles on the bike today with 2000’ elevation.

A weird question for you all. After having a routine for the past few months, and actually looking forward to it, this past week was brutal. I could barely move, let alone do my regular rigorous 45-60 minute sweat sesh. I thought it was because I was focusing mostly on cardio (long story why, but I will be hitting resistance soon), so I tried a bit of pilates and yoga and gentle walks and my body does not seem to cooperate.

Even if I do go for a walk, I'm just exhausted. I don't know if it's because I'm just mentally drained and exhausted from work (and this weather yo-yo is really not helping) but I simply cannot move.

Any suggestions? I've been trying to force myself to move, but I'm hesitant to force too much. And I do have an appointment with my doc next week as I have an under-active thyroid and chronic anaemia so we will check those. I guess I'm terrified to lose the habits and momentum that I've built.

Sometimes your body whispers to you, and sometimes it screams at you.

Sometimes your body whispers to you, and sometimes it screams at you.

Right now it's screaming at me with a bullhorn and waving a flag. Fucking annoying too

Good morning

(I’m going back to bed)

 

[Love_Is_Blonde]

There you are! Good morning my lovely friend!

Officially on summer break now

 

[Love_Is_Blonde]

I hope to be.

I hope you’ve been well and your headache has stayed away.

 

[Love_Is_Blonde]

I have and IT has, thank you! I'm optimistic that Migraine was only a one-off because I regularly do all the things necessary to mitigate the risk of a reoccurrence. I suspect I got it in the first place because it was accident related. Being hit with an exploding airbag is no joke!

So glad you’re ok. Must have been so scary

 

[Love_Is_Blonde]

It was! It may have been easier to deal with if I was capable of talking to someone or even spending a little time here, but instead I spent almost 3 whole days in a darkened room alone with my own thoughts. With that much pain involved, being inside my head was terrifying!

So glad that’s in the past.

Any fun plans today?

 

[Love_Is_Blonde]

Me too! The weather here isn't looking too good for outdoor activities, but I'm taking my mom out to brunch a little later and will be spending some nice quality time with her today. Have you decided how you're going to spend your summer break yet?

Brunch wirh your mom sounds like a nice start to your day.

I’ll be spending as much time at the beach as possible this summer. Outerbanks, here I come

 

[Love_Is_Blonde]

Nice! I've been there a few times! The Outerbanks are spectacular! Just don't forget the sunscreen. I learned that lesson the hard way! LOL!

Oh I know, I burn easily, too. I stay under my umbrella mostly.

 

[Wishingbox]

I caught a cold. I’m out of action for a bit…

Leg days are always fun after a extended hiatus.

 

[RickTango]

Yoga time…anyone care to practice with me?

 

[HoneyMeadows]

anyone else having the same issue? If I don't work our regularly (e.g. daily) it takes me nearly 2-3 times as long to get back into the routine (to a point there the routine is easy and not a drag).

Yes, this is what I'm struggling with at the moment. I figure if you stick at it then even if your effort is lacking you're moving closer to associating working out in that pattern. That's the theory anyway

 

[HoneyMeadows]

thats what I am trying to do, e.g. instead of 25 pushups every hour, I now to 20 at the end I get to my desired number as well..

I mean that even if you only do 5 pushups you're still doing pushups. It'll get easier to do the pushups, then the number will increase naturally

My workouts are kicking ass lately. I'd like to add more time with the trainer, but I can't afford much more! like, I can actually see a difference in my body and my trainer is much harder on me than he has been. It's nice! I have no complaints except that I'm always tired and I'd like to actually add more cardio when I'm not at the trainer (walks, etc). I really just have to put my shoes on and do it. But, lazy is more fun in the moment.

yes. It's called being old and getting older.

Yup. It’s sobering, isn’t it? You’ll get your groove back though

Yeah I can relate. I feel like I’m at the point I need longer than than the every other to recuperate from my runs. Which makes it difficult to maintain a consistent cadence.

Plus I just got sick which threw everything off blah.

 

[Wishingbox]

yes getting sick is somewhat the worst, thats why try to go at least at walks when I am stick, so I get at least out

with you. I’ve been out walking in the beautiful sun even though i’m physically exhausted. Getting vitamin D and fresh air is important.

is anyone using a step counter device? I saw a documentary and now I am really trying to get at least 12.5k a day in. But my fit bit sucked donkey balls lately, loses connectivity every day multiple times. I know i watch is an easy option, but I am not sure if it has such a great competition community. Any suggestions?

I used to use a Fitbit Charge 2 until it died. Now I have a Garmin Instinct watch, not the cheapest pedometer on the planet but it does work well, functions as a sport watch well and I've used the GPS function a time or two. It holds a charge easily for 3 weeks if I don't use the GPS. I really wanted to like the latest version of the Apple Watch but then I found out that it only stays charged for 18 hours, I made my I-lust go away for that.
Good for you on shooting for 12.5 K a day!!! Walking is how I started my latest weight loss and it's really paid huge dividends.

Golf yesterday fun best ball tournament.

Hi all,
