What are your health / fitness goals? Accountability

Last week I did HIIT workouts and got lots of steps. Sadly, we were seated on the plane by people who were really sick and now I'm sick. Haven't gotten sick in 6 years and looking forward to getting this over with. Hope you are all having a great week!

 

Get well soon.

 

Thank you. It makes me appreciate my health even more.

 

Nothing new to report really. Unless work gets in the way I’m sticking to my routine. My SIL and I were mentioned on a podcast that my coach participated in, lol. I can’t lie, I’ve listened to it about 10 times. It was brief but very cool. Hot here in Western Washington for another day. (I hate heat, boo!)

 

It's awesome that you guys got mentioned on the podcast. I think I would listen to it daily if I were you. Lol. I think fall and spring were my favorite seasons in Western Washington. The summers were getting too hot and the winters too cold. Keep going with your routine. It sounds like it's working really well for you!

 

The weather has definitely gotten hotter and drier in WW in the last 10 years. It sort of depresses me during long hot/dry spells. (Sounds nuts) I like my rain for the garden and lawn. The cool down is nice too. Stay safe and cool everyone.

 

We are in spring storm season here in DFW. We get 2 to 3 inches of rain in about 45 minutes to an hour and it is gone. Sunny flooded days.

Hail ranges from pea size to 4". It just happens where it happens, you get used to it.

 

I’m going to try my first ice bath later today. I have this nagging pain in my left hip/groin area. I’ve been stretching and trying a few things but nothing seems to help. Brr!!

 

Well, my exercise program consisted of stacking 45000 (total) pounds of firewood over 3 saturdays.
Didn't drop dead. Check.
Have all the firewood for 2025/26 season put up. Check.
Have about half the firewood I need for the 2026/2027 heating season. WooHoo.

 

Nicely done, VT!!

 

I really hope that the ice bath will bring down the inflammation and pain. Have you tried a gel with arnica in it? I like to the get arnicare gel or cream from Target. I started using it when I tore my hamstring in 2017 and now I use it for all aches and pains. Hope you will feel better.

 

Great job! That's an intense workout and you got it done so fast. So functional and practical too.

 

I miss doing my workouts. Been sick all week and thankfully starting to feel better.

 

Cold plunges began to hurt me. I would be chilled for a couple of days afterwards and occasionally not be fit to go to work due to an underlying condition.

Until my stuff got bad, the cold plunges were very helpful feeling.

 

I’ve completed 2 now. Unless it’s just a coincidence it’s been helping. Thank God!!

 

Cold plunge (in the Canadian Pacific) and sauna schedule is on for tomorrow.

 

I miss the sauna at the YMCA. I’d get there early before the old farts would come in without a stitch on! Unreal! In other news I’m up to 3 ice baths now. I’m thinking it’s not a coincidence because most of that pain is gone! Yippee!!

 

I’ve said it before but what a great thread!! Thanks to A for creating it and keeping it alive.

 

Thank you so much for being here! The accountability has helped me so much.
