Still doing really great scale wise. I was 122lbs last night, I think due to sweating out a bunch of water weight. Our friends live about a mile and half from our house and the Mr. wanted to swap out gaming headphones, so I talked him into walking over vs. driving. I ran in circles while he walked. I’m always happy when he exercises with me. As of last night, he was down almost 10lbs, woo hoo!
A few things it took me nearly 40 years to learn:
You don’t need a gym membership to get into excellent shape. You do need to:
Eat appropriate amounts of things that are good for your body
If you are able:
Get in some cardio during the week. Ideally 2-3 times, more if you can. Jumping rope, riding a bike, swimming, running, brisk walking, stairs, tennis, etc.
Lift dumb bells in multiple ways (lats, Arnold press, head bangers, row backs, bench press, etc.)
Squats (squat holds, narrow and wide squats, etc.)
Core. Planks, burpees, mountain climbers, man makers. This will make every other exercise easier.
Abs. Let’s talk about abs. When I first started doing regular cross training workouts, I felt like I was wasting my time doing abs. I was so weak in my core, that I couldn’t even do enough to feel like I was getting anything out of it. I made myself keep doing it, week after week, and suddenly I was able to do enough in a row that I felt actual soreness. Then the usually shy ab muscles showed up, physically and visually.
My friend’s cancer came back and I am heartbroken. She has 3 young boys.
I don’t want to leave on such a negative note, so I hope you all are having a wonderful week. Sending love and hugs your way.
