What are your health / fitness goals? Accountability

I'm so glad that it's helping! The shock to the system can be a really good thing.

 

My favorite part of vacation was definitely coming home!
I'm going to take the rest of the week off from planned workouts and will probably spend most of the time doing damage control in the gardens.
On Monday I plan on strength training again!

 

I’ve done 5 cold dunks now. My hip is about 80 percent better thank God!

 

In the sauna for 15, then sea for 5. Repeat 3x. I finished with the sauna to Kickstart life returning.

I felt amazing.

 

I did my first run in a week after resting my hip and 6 ice baths. It felt pretty good thank God. My tournament is less than one month away now and I feel pretty good. Yippee!!

 

That is quick and rapid progress and I'm so glad that you're feeling better. How do you go about your cold dunks?

 

That is such a cool sauna! I have sauna envy now... What a perfect combination!

 

It's so good that you're feeling better and can run again. Injuries like that are so scary. I bet you'll be fully healed and recovered for your tournament.

 

I'm enjoying rest day and am getting the garden back into shape. They sold us weedy soil and it's scary how much the weeds took over in under 20 days. Thank goodness we came back!

 

I get a bunch of ice from my workplace’s ice machine. (With permission of course) I run cold water in the tub with no ice, even getting in that is painful. I add the rest of it over 5 minutes or so and try to stay it 20 minutes. Success!

 

That is such a great mental challenge too! 5 minutes is a long time... 20 minutes, EPIC!

 

I went for an hour long walk this morning and I decided that I'm going to start the 10 week program that I was working on before from the beginning. Before we left, I had just finished week #7/10.
10 weeks will bring me right up to my birthday. I think it's a good plan for the summer. Hope you will all have a wonderful week!

 

Yesterday was leg day (it worked because I'm sore today.)
Today is going to be a total body workout (including dips and pull-up attempts.) Wish me luck!
How are you moving this week?

 

I’m planning on hiking a bit Friday and Saturday at the North Cascades. My legs are in good shape as long as that little spot on my hip cooperates. Stay tuned.

 

I jogged on my morning 5k. I hadn't done that in 25 years.

I didn't jog the whole way, but when I staggered into the driveway, legs burning and chest screaming....my grin was a wide as Texas.

 

I hope you'll enjoy your hike and that your hip will cooperate. Take pics. The Cascades look so majestic!

 

That's the BEST feeling ever. Great job on your 5k!!!
After reading this, I feel motivated to finally do today's workout... I've been procrastinating all day.

 

I felt really strong during my total body workout until I got to the sit-ups... Apparently, my leg workout was so effective that I felt sore just sitting. It's been awhile since I've worked out that hard.

Today I feel tired and have been procrastinating all day long... After reading your posts, I feel motivated to get my shoulder workout done before dinner. Have a great night, everyone!

 

I took 2 rest days this week. Yesterday and today. I think I'm still recovering from being sick and I'm feeling a lot better.
