50 push-ups to start my day on a positive physical note. Took a mere 3 minutes of my day…no excuses.

No Excuses November - 19/30

Summary(11/19.11)

yoga 2/2

weight-training - 2/2

eating 80/20 - 4/7

It was a loooooooong week. I would need 2 weekends to rest tbh. But I hit most of my goals which is good. Today I had a really nice yoga practice preparing myself for inversions, but as my arms were still sore from gym it was harder than it was supposed to be. I did manage to make my forearm-head stand with bended knees, but I still struggle to straighten them in this position, which sucks as I already was able to do it last year. But hey, I guess everything comes with time and hard work. Gonna keep working on them goals.

Wish you all a nice Sunday xox

November 2023 #noexcusenovember Challenge

So I signed up for @m0tiv8me 's #noexcusenovember challenge. I've been thinking about this for a week and I'm going to break mine into primary and secondary challenges.

Primary: -Workout/lift 5 days a week (Mon-Fri) starting no later than 10:30am -Run 200km this month.

Secondary: -Run 6 days a week - this ties into the 200km challenge, because that breaks down to 6.6km if I were to run for 30 days straight, so I have to stay on top of this or I won't complete it.

-increase my Pushups/Pullups. My warmup for each workout is a pushup/pullup challenge. My goal is 100 pushups/50 pullups, for time, plus how many I can do in the first set.

Currently I'm at roughly 60 pushups/30 pullups, and I can do 35 pushups on the first set, and 10 pullups, overall it takes me about 10 minutes. Previously I tried the 100 pushup challenge in 2021, on Day 1 I could do 30 pushups and overall it took me 10 minutes. By Day 39 I got to 48 pushups on the first set, and I could complete 100 in 5 minutes 53 seconds. So hopefully I can get close to that, or beat it.

No Excuses November

Y'all I'm here!! I'm clocked in even if I'm a little late.

Here are my goals for the month:

Hike 3x/ week, totaling at least 6 miles per hike

2, 25 minute lifting + ab sessions/week.

No looking at my phone in bed in the mornings for any extended amount of time, 4x/week!!

Try one new thing each week. Anything. But it has to be a new experience

Meditate every day.

Last night, I got my hike 1 done. But, I did not meditate; and I def. used my phone in the bed in the AM. Today is looking much better in terms of my goals: I'll update later tonight with my progress.

Let's fucking get it. Thank you @m0tiv8me for facilitating this.

No Excuses November Day 1

Nailed it!

Did hip mobility with some low back love today because I was in NEED.

Threw my goals up on the kitchen chalkboard for extra motivation 😜

And got a bonus run in as well! Short and slow cause we’re building strong joints before we do anything else.

I'm coming in late to @m0tiv8me and the no excuse November challenge but why not take part?

I'm trying to heal my hip issues - my appointment to hopefully get a referral for physical therapy is in two weeks. Today I paid out of pocket a second time for a sports massage because while it hurt last time it really did help. The therapist I saw told me that I need to build quite a bit of muscle if I don't want to be playing whack a mole with joint issues (hypermobility disorder) my whole life. And that I need to have a personal trainer in person with me for at least a few months so I can learn the moves correctly (hypermobility means I can fold in lots of... Not great ways that hurt me and I don't even realize my form is wrong). So I'm trying to figure out how I can make that work, it might just have to wait until next school year when I put my youngest into part time preschool so I don't have to try to find daytime childcare for her.

On the plus side, I can start doing lap swimming tomorrow when my older kids have swim lessons (twice a week for two weeks but then we have a break before the next session). I have a friend with a child in the same class so she can sit with my youngest and watch our kids in the water while I swim for 20-30 minutes. I need to pick up ear plugs tomorrow after I vote though.

I did some stretching/foam rolling/yoga before my massage appointment and did twenty minutes of upper body dumbbells and a ten minute core video this afternoon. I'm really excited that I can use my 15 pound dumbbells now, and I only have to use my 5s on a few exercises. I will go for a walk tonight with one of my friends and it looks like I'm on track to drink enough water today as well. Pretty excited about the walk, honestly, since we haven't had a long walk and talk in almost a week.

Today I completed day 3 for #noexcusenovember

1. Lift to 2 cups of coffe ✅

2. 5 mins core exercises ✅

3. Track food in LostIt ✅

We went to a hot chicken place for supper which has the most delicious fries and I got to delight in both. Then after we got home and Oliver was in bed I headed to the gym. I did a bit of a hodgepodge of stuff. 10 minutes spin, 10 minutes, row, and then about 30 weight lifting. I have many open questions about lifting, might post them in a separate post later tonight. I followed these exercises except for the ones I crossed out.
