Still Kicking

It is one of those dreary, raining days that really makes me want to curl up with a good book.  I really didn't want to go to the gym, but I run for Jocelyn and she is at CHOP today having a brain MRI and tomorrow she is having an EEG.  She goes out, she has tutoring, all while her stomach is really bothering her and she is feeling weird.  If she can do all that I can bring my behind to the gym.  So off I went.  Today I lifted and I maxed out on all my weight.   My arms feel like they are floating!!

Then on my way back to work I got a surprise visit from my husband.  He had to go to a meeting at a different building and just happened to be heading back when I was returning from the gym. :)

Happy Tuesday, may yours be filled with many blessings.

I feel cute today

I'm feeling good and cute in my clothes today.  Turns out this is a really good thing since I gained this week.  This is mot a surprise to me though. See I went back to really lofty g this week.  I mean I pushed weights o. Tuesday and I still feel it today! This is how my body reacts when I lift. In a few weeks I will benefit from this weeks workout.  Knowing that helps.  Feeling cute in my cloths today really helps to keep the "voices" at bay.

So here is a selfie for you all. Seeing the doc tomorrow. - with the ever present water bottle.  I usually drink around 6 of these a day minimum and haven't had a soda in over a month and a half.  I so wish the remove soda and drink more water lifestyle changes worked for me.  :)

Happy Thursday, may it be filled with blessings

today I'm back at it

So after all the days of starting 25, I have built back up to lifting weights again.  I am starting with two days a week - this week was today (at lunch) and it will be Thursday (probably at lunch again).  I like the break up to my day, and thankfully my gym is just down the road.  I know working out at lunch doesn't always work, because work can get in the way.  However, for now I've decided to try it until it I can't make it work anymore and then I will adjust my schedule again and figure out where I need to pencil it in.

I also have a cycle program by itrain on my phone - a 20 min and a 40 min - which is great to let me get in a bit of cross training cardio on non running days.

Progress in the right direction, is measure in the steps you take, not the steps you don't take.

Happy Tuesday, may your day be filled with blessings.
