I arranged to go for a walk with a friend, but she wanted to go to a cat con first, so I dressed up as a cat and went with her, with the plan to walk after. However, she decided not to leave the cat con, and so I went to the gym and did 30 minutes on the stairmaster still in my cat costume, while watching the horror movie Babadook on Netflix. That's one way to spend a Saturday night.

30 min on the stairmaster. There's two stairmasters, and they are finally fixing the other one that has had the sign "I OVERDID IT" on it for what feels like forever.

Exercise
I mowed 3 acres with a push mower. I sweated up a storm and drank everything including 3 pints of sugar free Gatorade, 1 vitamin water, 3 glasses of ice tea, and a lemonade.
It felt good to work hard and my land looks good. :cowboy: |
8s
at the gym this am, worked out with weight buddy, then decided I wanted to run outside...it is a beautiful day, quite warm so I was drenched...smiling...I love to sweat...by the time I finished running 8mi...and thank you Mother Nature! Tomorrow, walking 4mi with a new friend, not so talkie... keep on keepin' on, Greco |
I spent the morning and early afternoon, in the Alberta District, buying craft supplies, and had a wonderful breakfast at an trendy café, too. I walked for about two hours, before coming back home, but I kept it to an seven block radius. I was pretty tired after doing that, but at least I got out and enjoyed the weather, while it was beautiful.

Today was good. I have a training session tomorrow so I didn't want to go hog wild but I did want a good workout even though I was also slinging plastic bins around for half the day.
I did the 30 minute circuit training as it's designed. Step ups for cardio followed by about a minute on each piece of equipment. I followed that with 13 minutes on the recumbent bike and then stretching. Stats: 59 cal, 1.87 miles |
Exercise consisted of...
A 10 min. yoga session in the morning followed by squats.
I am doing the 30 day squat challenge. Let's see if I have enough motivation and discipline to get through and complete it. |
Today was awesome!
I met my trainer at the gym after my warm up on the elliptical. Stats: 139 cal, 1.30 mi, 18:00 min He put me through my paces, as usual, about half an hour and made a most amazing deal with me. He's been giving me freebie sessions due to issues I had at the original gym I met him at and can't do that anymore, which I totally get. Soooo....he's got to charge me but he still wants to give me free sessions because I make him laugh (I'm pretty sure I'm his favorite client) so we're going to do a tit for tat BOGO thing so I'm absolutely stoked and can't wait until he whips me into shape like I was a few years ago. It's going to happen! He stretched me out so I didn't do any further cool down or workout but we did chat in his office like I always do at the end. I found out that another one of his clients is gender fluid. I remember that person and knew they were family but didn't know how they presented. Cool! |

A slow and fun 4mi with new friend amid the beauty of this expansive sky...damn...how will I ever leave this place. What a pleasure to walk with someone who has a life and is creative, full of adventure. And am glad she is straight, finding our time well spent and energizing, with appropriate boundaries, thank the Universe!...smiling...tomorrow, 3.5hrs drawing...that's the plan, yes, no indoor gym...no running. keep on keepin' on, Greco |
Three mile early morning walk that included a long steep hill. That has been my morning for the past three days. I take my dog who is a very eager walker so he paces me briskly.

Hello and happy Mother's Day, exercisers!
I went to the gym this morning and had a bit of a rough time. I think it was a combination of the gym being too warm and what I ate for dinner last night (mini burritos and ice cream). Anywho, the first half felt pretty rough. My legs felt weighted and heavy and I was pretty miserable but I'm stubborn and the second half was easier so I finished everything I wanted to do. I have back to back training sessions Monday and Tuesday so could only do cardio today. Stats: 286 cal, 2.30 mi, 30:00 min I stretched after that and, when I got home, did some contortion to get my wet sports bra off. :blink: |
I've been working on stretches that my PT team has taught me to do....to stretch out my para-spinal muscles that go up and down the spine and my glutes (the muscles that connect your hips and thighs). I do then three times a day, on my bed, with a huge Turkish bath towel.
At PT last Friday, the head of PT took me out for walking exercise around the office property to measure how many steps we got in and the time it took. During the 40 minute exercise, we walked up and down the parking structure inclines, up and down stairs in the parking garage, and the perimeter of the entire property: 40 minutes, 1750 steps. Those numbers are up slightly since the first time we began this part of my guided assisted exercise model of therapy. After that part of my PT treatment, I bicycled for 21 minutes @ level three, for almost three miles. Then I used the arm machine for 8 minutes. But for one minute of those 8 minutes I was able to keep the rpm's at 300, vs the 7 minutes of barely keeping the marker steady at 100 for seven minutes. My PT session is concluded by 25 minutes of deep tissue massage and compression massage to mobilize my back muscles. I'm toast by the time my PT session is over. I go twice a week for my sessions which last 2.5 hours. |
A lovely Sunday walk, with a fruit smoothie in hand. :stillheart:
|
I need to get back in here. I'm having a hard time managing/balancing the mom stuff, school stuff and me stuff.

I had an awesome morning workout, exercisers! It was a trainer day so I started with a warm up, did 30 minutes with the trainer and cooled down as per his instructions.
Warm up: elliptical, 151 cal, 1.32 mi, 20:00 min Upper body and core strength training. Cool down: elliptical, 88 cal, .75 mi, 13:00 min If you are in the Northeast, it's a beautiful day, and I'm glad I took advantage of it earlier. Now, the window blinds are open and light is just pouring in, the kitties are snoozing and I'm about to jump off here and continue my major organizational overhaul I started this month. |
Last training day today for almost a month as my trainer is going out of state and then will come home for a staycation. My dinner was trash last night and boy, did I feel it today. Between that and doing back to back to back workouts, I'm pooped.
Warm up: 182 cal, 1.59 mi, 25 min 30 minutes of leg and core concentration. No cool down as my trainer had pushed back the workout and I was running late for other stuff. |
change is in the air
9.5mi this morning...it's getting ever warmer here and I'm loving it...upping my mileage slowly...thinking about moving to a place where I can join a running club and where there are more folks that make their fitness a priority even in an older age like myself. Still, while I'm here I'll continue to enjoy this stunning sky and high desert...it's been more than good to me and I'm grateful for all I've experienced in the years I've lived here...tomorrow with weight bud and a higher intensity training...he'll love it I'm sure...I will get through it...smiling. keep on keepin' on friends, Greco |
A lot of walking around town, maybe a mile total. That's a lot for me and it was also nice to take in the sights. I made one stop at the post office.

Jackie took me to PT today. At PT I walked 1750 steps in about one hour. Then cycled on level 3 for 2.5 miles in twenty minutes. Used the arm machine for 8 minutes but couldn't get past 100 rpm. The needle was barely off zero. I was toast, by the time we got to my 25 minute massage and back compression's. My legs are wobbly, back too, but I was sweaty by the time my session at PT was over.

40 minutes on the stair master while watching Toddlers and Tiarras (I can't help it! I get really into it- it's a well-done show!)
20 minutes floor exercises When I first went to the gym today I had a headache and I KNEW the gym would take away my headache and it did It also lessened my anger. I had been really angry that I had an uber ride from manhattan to the bronx confirmed for 14.00 and then I was charged 30! And I got nowhere with customer service. I was going back and forth with them a lot during the day, and I was just so angry. The gym really helped but it was hard to start. But great to finish! |
