Day 83 of going to the gym
I worked my upper body so hard today. I better be able to hold my two week old grandbaby tomorrow or I’m gonna have to go all “Karen” on myself. Then again, the point of all this training is so that I can be around long enough to watch her grow up! This face!!

Day 82 of going to the gym
I went with a plan today! I thrive with a plan! Warm-up 10 minutes on elliptical (I despise this machine). I did a full body workout targeting upper, lower body and core. One hour tops is all it takes! I created the workout on my own, but ChatGPT approved!

Thank you!!

Day 81 of going to the gym
Reckoning day - I was down 7lbs but 3lbs of it was muscle.🤦‍♀️ I have upped my lifting game so time to up the protein game. NOT having donuts will also be helpful! Isn’t it cookie baking season though?! Ugh!

Day 80 of going to the gym
Plan A won!! I actually got to the gym by 6:30am. This is a huge feat for me. I did my warm-up/lower body workout and got out the door to my volunteer gig on time. To look at my planner and being able to delete Plan B & C make it all worth it!

True test of dedication will be tomorrow. Am I committed? Will I go to the gym before my morning appt? As someone with ADHD, I have a Plan A, Plan B and a Plan C. Nobody really expects me to be at the gym by 6:30am, most of all me. But who knows?

Day 79 of going to they gym
I actually made a plan for this week with an app and a little help from ChatGPT. Today was a cardio day and I walked on treadmill with incline. I’m not fast, but I’m faster than I was. I’m not strong, but I’m stronger than I was. Progress is happening!

Day 78 of going to the gym
I ate donuts all day yesterday and two before going to the gym. I’m in a sugar coma but some exercise helped me out of it. We are celebrating Thanksgiving next Thursday because my son will be here. I guess I should workout a lot this week!!

Day 77 of going to the gym
I had a personal training session today and I quipped in my usual self-deprecating way that I was probs her least fave client because I’m weak. She responded you aren’t and you are mentally tougher than many because you keep coming back. I’m gonna wear that around a bit!

I actually have a pool. But I probs won’t keep it heated all winter. They do have a pool at the gym I go to so that’s a possibility!

Day 76 of going to the gym
I rode bike for 30 minutes. Not one other single thing. I need an actual plan I’m afraid. Getting there is half the battle, but any ideas for the other 50%?

Day 75 of going to the gym
It’s been 3 days since I last went to the gym. I did have a grandbaby on Friday so I have an excuse! Today I went and I vow to go at least 5 days this week! One down, four more to go.

Day 74 of going to the gym
I was supposed to have a training session at 7am. Ugh! She cancelled. Whew! I had physical therapy at 8:30 and I was going to hit the gym after that, but I went home instead. After languishing for an hour, I went to the gym and walked and did some leg work. ✅

Day 73 of going to the gym
I was only going to ride bike for 15 minutes, random intensity. I rode 32.5 at random intensity. I then got on the adductor/abductor machine for 15 minutes. My PT calls this the “good girls/bad girls machine.” I can’t unhear that!😂

Why are these accounts being used for such unprofessional posts? It’s like middle schoolers run everything these days.

Anybody tired of “hello beautiful” in their DMs? Just stop! Block, block, block!! Ew!!!

Day 72 of going to the gym
I did it! Ten whole minutes on the elliptical! I then worked upper body for forty minutes. Please clap!

Day 71 of going to the gym
To be fair to myself, I went to PT and did work upper body so I skipped the gym, gym yesterday. My trainer told me today that I’m doing great and sometimes we just have “down weeks.” It’s not bad to rest the body and mind. Today I worked hard and did feel a bit reset.

Day 70 of going to the gym
I went! Didn’t wanna do it but I did. Did the elliptical to warm up and then all arms. Hopefully this puts me back in the groove. I’m going to be a grandma next week and I need my groove!!

Today marked 4 days of NOT going to the gym! Did I undo all of my hard work? I think 5 days in a row would be really bad. Like “crossing the streams” bad. If you get that reference, I love you!

Day 69 of going to the gym
My trainer had me doing strength training today. Funny, I don’t feel strong yet. I also feel some depression creep in so I may take a few days off from the gym. I know I should go to help stave off depression, but right now, going makes me depressed.

Day 68 of going to the gym
I had physical therapy today and went to the gym after. Didn’t want to go because my neck hurts. I ended up walking for 40 minutes on the treadmill. If I could just force myself to do more lifting. Still hate it if you’re wondering!

We need more of this!

I’m skipping the gym today. Don’t judge me. I just can’t (don’t want to) do it.

Don’t drop the ball, NYC! Cardinals fans everywhere be like…don’t be DeMercado!!! #GoMamdani

Day 67 of going to the gym
Squats are stupid. That is all!! Carry on.

Day 66 of going to the gym
We hit the gym this morning and I was fully prepared to do the whole leg routine set up for me. But the last thing on the list was that stupid sled. I said “hells no!”

Day 65 of going to the gym
Apparently I’ve lost weight this month, but it’s all muscle. Granted I didn’t gain any fat, but I didn’t lose any either. Time to step up my game with more strength training. I hope I have the energy!

Day 64 of going to the gym
Really very uneventful except I didn’t want to go. But I did. Now I’m home and glad I went. These are my struggles!
