*Blows the Dust Off*

I know it's cliche to get back into fitness in January but whatever.

Motivation is wierd. You never know what's really going to hit you and stick with you.

Recently hubby and I were just driving along and once again talking about getting in better shape and he says "I really hope you stick with it because I don't want to go hiking without you. But I will cause I'm not giving it up, I love it."

Wow. I never want that to happen, ever. So apparently fear it what works for me. 😉

Day 101 Exercise Journal, 3 April 2018: No Sleep 'Till Brooklyn Half Marathon training is done.

Walking, moderate sweating, 70 minutes.

Today is the first day of a comeback from a setback. I had a wake up call that to finish The Brooklyn Half Marathon before a milestone birthday, I need to change my exercise schedule.

If I don't exercise before work, then I have to change right into exercise clothing and go out immediately after coming home. A light snack and water is enough to give me a boost. Tomorrow about an hour before work ends, I can snack on a banana so there is no stopping.

The immediate goal this month is to meet the adult exercise guidelines of The American Heart Association, 150 minutes per week and avoid injury. The habit is exercise every day, even if just a leisurely stroll for 15 minutes.

Still really loving Fitness Boxing for Switch!

Even more so that I figured out you can change your targets to glass. That breaking sound is so oddly satisfying!

I also figured out you can select the background and it drove me crazy the whole time because I forgot she had on her Captain America sweats and I hate when things don't match!

Day 98 Exercise Journal, 25 September 2017: The Extra Mile

"It's never crowded along the extra mile" - Fortune Cookie this weekend past

5.01 km in 1:08

The antibiotics still have a few days more, yet I am grateful to get some energy back.

Exercise Journal Supplemental: Hurricane, antibiotics, and co-pays

This is still a fitblr, despite my recent spate of health issues including antibiotics meaning that I have to stay out of the sun and feel tired. The stress of the hurricane preparation and the storm and the aftermath didn't help matters.

It is a temporary pause, not an end.

Low impact aerobics: 15 minutes

New prescriptions with all the warnings about dizziness means my extended solo trail walks are suspended for now.

I still have to rest, yet at least breaking a sweat is something that I have to do and I ironically felt the best and most pain-free while exercising.

This video above is part of a series of no equipment at-home routines.

Day 96 Exercise Journal, 14 August 2017: Walk It Off

Distance: 6.43km, time: 01:29:03, pace: 13:51min/km, speed: 4.33km/h. http://mapmywalk.com

Thanks for the likes. They do help.

There was major stress at work and home today, making me feel my name is Sisyphus. I went longer and faster than I had planned just to try to ring out the despair. Improving my fitness won't fix the other things, but it will make me more capable of coping with what is to come.

Day 95 Exercise Journal, 13 August 2017: A walk in the park

Distance: 10.12km, time: 02:41:15, pace: 15:56min/km, speed: 3.77km/h.

Plenty of water, the ample shade trees, and some breaks made this distance possible. This berry bush was right on the trail. Working in an office makes me relish the outdoor activities, yet I am grateful I can choose to stay inside for comfort.

Finishing a run of 10k is my goal for 2018.
