Cheeseburgh

I’m like @sillykitty, I don’t really hold grudges so I don’t have anyone to forgive. (With the exception of one person who I will never forgive lol) I’m taking a new class today in about an hour it doesn’t sound horrible.. I’ll do sit-ups and some ab stuff after.

I rarely take or post pictures of myself. I decided to take a picture when I first joined the gym in April and I took a follow up this week. I’m honestly surprised at how much difference it made in a short period of time. I don’t “feel” like I look that different so I’m glad I documented it. It is good motivation to keep working out. I need to clean my mirror, vacuum and make my bed, I wasn’t planning on sharing these!

150-200! 12 visits or 3x a week. I don’t even live in Chicago, I’m in a suburb. I was expecting more Midwest type pricing. It isn’t just a couple of gyms either. I’ve counted 8 that have very similar pricing.

Went to the gym this morning and did my usual workout. I toured another gym and I have decided I like old school gyms vs. the new gyms. Everything around here is class based only and pretty expensive. (150-200 a month for 12 classes seems high to me) Orange theory, praxis, HIIT, yoga only, etc.. I prefer a place where I can choose or just do elliptical if I feel like it. I very well may end up at the gym I’m currently at. I have 2 more to check out. declutter the non physical today. I’m going to hang out on my hammock and get some sun.

I have been picking and choosing. I never did a mountain climber before this challenge and I never will again! Same with burpees.

Came across this new sculpture at the riverfront in my town last night. It is perfectly weird.

Sunday did the leg raises, that is actually one of the daily exercises I do, squats I do every other day so I’ll do that today. I’m going to the gym this morning to do cardio then I’ll do the short core class. My game plan is to stick to my game plan. Father’s Day dinner was really easy to make healthier. Smoked a Cuban citrus mojo Marinated Pork loin roast with a fresh corn salad. It turned out fantastic and we have a lot of leftovers. I’m still figuring out what my final goal weight is. It is strange, I thought my weight loss would slow down even more at this point but I’m still losing around the same rate. I have not changed my diet since I still want to lose, I think I know where my body will settle. I guess I’ll find out!

I’m not going to attempt mountain climbers again, it almost killed me last time. I worked out this morning to make up for it. I started making a positivity playlist on Spotify, so far I only have 4 songs in it, but there’s no rush. Hi @Sheribear68 and @sillykitty Glad to see you are hanging in there. This weekend will be busy with Fathers Day I imagine. I hope everyone is doing well. I may be typing into the void but I like having something to be accountable for and so far this has been working for me.

If everyone quit let me know!

Quiet in here this week, I’m still going to keep motivated. Lunges done, I’m going to go take a new cardio class this morning at the fitness center. I was going to check out Planet Fitness but I’m putting that off until next week. #14. Go exploring. I’m going to go to a park I’ve never been to for a long walk later today. It will be nice to mix it up. I hope everyone is plugging along!

Ugh, why did I pick this fitness calendar? I despise most of the exercises! I’m hoping @GreenTealael will do this thread next month. I like today’s mental health challenge, it is a good habit to get into. My fitness center/gym search continues. I toured one that will work but it doesn’t have many classes at all. I did mention that I was not interested in Planet Fitness, however the one closest to me does get good reviews. Does anyone here belong to one? I’m going to do a free trial/tour later today or tomorrow. I’m not in a hurry, my current membership is good through mid July.

I didn’t even try those on, they would not look good on my short 58 year old body. I bought a pair at Talbots, they are close to what I want however they are too loose in the wrong places. I’m returning them and going back out on my search. @sillykitty shhh, I skipped the Burpees.

Flutter kicks done, I prefer and need ab exercises. I had a good cardio workout today too. I smiled and said hi to everyone within reason so far going and in and out of the fitness center. I’m going shopping this afternoon so I will continue my smile mission. ? B side: Favorite piece of clothing. A casual dress from Boden US. It fits great, it’s comfortable and it’s easy to dress up or down. Currently I am on a white pants hunt and I’m not having any luck so far. I swear I have shopped everywhere. It’s so frustrating, and sizes are all over the place.

Thanks, that looks super good!

What is a mini sleeve?

My husband loves this stuff, I hate cauliflower with a passion. The bad is pretty small actually.

If you are sleeping 8 hours and still wiped out it might be an iron, B12, D, or other deficiency . Ask your Doctor. I have to take an iron supplement everyday, it really helps me. I wouldn’t try a sleep aid first if I was already sleeping 8 hours. Heads up, I did some weird stuff on Ambien!

I am not a fan of #11. I don’t understand the benefit of manufacturing a feel bad day. I didn’t realize how many of the exercises on this list are ones I have never done or never do. I have never done a burpee but I do know they can be considered punishment! I’m going to give them a whirl after my coffee. I am going for a long walk today then hopefully see the Elton John movie later. I do miss movie popcorn, but I can live without it. @thatch Glad you caught your 3 lb gain quickly, are you going to change things up?
