Nikina70's Journal, 26 Apr 23

This afternoon I did:
Kaleigh Cohen Strength - METABOLIC CONDITIONING [30 min Full Body Dumbbell Workout]
Followed by:
jessicasmithtv - How to Get (and Stay!) Motivated: A 1-Mile #Walk + Talk
And then:
Well With Hels - Yoga for HEALTHY SPINE Mindful movement for the spine

I'm only able to fit this in before lunch time because work is quiet right now and a friend of mine called to tell me how much pain she is in today. Makes me realise how lucky I am that I have no pain, that I have such a flexible schedule and that I woke up feeling physically and mentally well today - it is not always that way and I am so grateful! I do feel for anyone suffering with ill health, pain or migraines and I do hope you'll find a solution and have it resolved.

I'm hoping to get a good walk in tomorrow and then another workout on Friday or over the weekend. I realise I said a similar thing last weekend and then did nothing, but such is life. At least I started this week well and am on my second day of working out so that is an improvement on last week and all these little bits count. We're also doing a 4-5 mile walk on Sunday with a Meetup group if the weather's good.

Even if my weight stays the same this week I know I'm taking small strides towards being stronger and fitter. I bought a size 10 dress to wear to my niece's confirmation at the end of the month and I want to feel comfortable in it on the day so that is keeping me very focused right now. It's also basically 4 weeks to the start of summer and that's incentive too!

Hope you're all having a lovely Wednesday! xxx
