Fitness  Check In Day 41

Anyone who has a part-time or full-time job will tell you, they really look forward to their days off.  It's a chance to unwind, run errands, spend time with family, dive into your hobby or just relax.  My issue these days is the exhaustion that lingers into my weekends at times and leaves me taking … Continue reading Fitness  Check In Day 41

Fitness Check In: Day 40

With my right wrist feeling a bit strained, I decided not to do any yoga today and just did the Quick Fix Abs and Buns workout that were 10 minutes each, plus the glider for 15 minutes and 30x reps of the green and red resistance bands. Through all of the workouts, I did feel … Continue reading Fitness Check In: Day 40

Fitness Check In: Day 39

Again today, I woke up in good spirits, raring to go and then as the day went on, I was slowly diving into worry mode over a few things that we all worry about from time to time. Monthly bills, groceries, hospital and doctor's bill yet to come in, things around the house you need … Continue reading Fitness Check In: Day 39

Fitness Check In Day 34

Since 2022, July 4th has been a tough, emotional day to celebrate.  This is the day that my dear papa passed away in the evening with my brother, mom and myself all around him as we watched him take his last breath.  Even though he suffered with Alzheimer's for a few years, he still knew … Continue reading Fitness Check In Day 34

Fitness Check In: Day 31

Sometimes, you can get ahead of yourself. You cheer yourself on and encourage yourself to push a little harder. Sometimes, in your mind you're ready, but your body is not. Today was one of those days. I was even more sluggish than usual since drinking that stomach wrecking Barium-sulfate w/contrast concoction in the Emergency Room … Continue reading Fitness Check In: Day 31

Fitness Check In: Day 30

Today I knew that I wanted to hit the mat and the air walk trainer, so after my quick morning routine (brush teeth, wash face), I did a few quick stretching exercises in bed to wake up those muscles. Then, I got on that glider for 25 glorious minutes with some music from the 80's, … Continue reading Fitness Check In: Day 30

Fitness Check In Day 28

Since I work from home, I'm fortunate, and with no appointments till later in the week, I stayed home next to my two fans whirring away on this super hot day. In the morning I was definitely feeling the heat and was too tired to do any form of exercise.  However, I got a small … Continue reading Fitness Check In Day 28

Fitness Check In Day 22

I have to admit that I dragged this morning.  The exhaustion has been hitting me hard lately, and today was no exception.  Was it the Colace I had to take last night? The worry about the drastic change in my digestion and bowel issues? The stress of the work week? Finances? Who knows.  I have … Continue reading Fitness Check In Day 22

Fitness Check In Day 21

Today, I practiced what I've been preaching and listened to my body.   Yesterday I was going up and down quite a few stairs to get from one train to another train, then to a bus to get home from the cemetery.  In addition to that, my dad's tombstone is located on a hill of the … Continue reading Fitness Check In Day 21

Fitness Check In Day 19

Today was a huge win and a few more steps closer to my goal in getting my strength back and finally going to and enjoying Comic Con pain free! I started the day slow and tired as my stomach has wiped me out this week. BUT, about an hour after breakfast, I hopped on that … Continue reading Fitness Check In Day 19
