Right back at you, shyvas!
I'm off to New Hampshire tomorrow night for a hike in the White Mountains with my sister and a friend. Should be a good one!
My goals are pretty similar to last month's: to stay in good hiking shape doing the treadmill, walks outside and the bike. Also, to eat fewer white processed carbs. I did fine with the exercise last month, but the food...ehhhh, it could have been better.
. My sleep has been off as well, so I'm going to work on that. I think I've been too stressed lately. So much going on (mostly good, but still, busy, busy, busy), and so I need to relax a little better.

My acid reflux has flared up once again. I'm desperately trying to eliminate all the stress from my life.
On a more positive note, I'm so grateful that I have good health and no life threatening illnesses.

I hope you are feeling better, shyvas.
I did a very light workout today, as my calves were quite tight from my weekend hiking adventure (which was freakin' awesome, by the way!). I did 20 minutes on the spin bike with little resistance and 20 minutes on the treadmill on a very slight incline. I took it easy on the climbing, hehe, only 392 feet. I just wanted to stretch the muscles a bit. If they are still tight tomorrow, I will again do a lighter workout. I think it's better to keep moving.

Thank you. It's only Tuesday and I'm already feeling shattered.
Yikes, shyvas. I'm sorry you are so stressed. That is so not fun. I hope things improve for you soon.
I did another lighter workout today: 50 minutes on the treadmill at about half the incline I normally do. I still managed to climb 1384 feet. I wanted to walk outside, but the hills likely would have stressed out my calf muscles, lol. I think tomorrow they will be back to normal. They feel much less tight today.

I did a Leslie Sansone video this morning -- Walk Strong for 3 miles. It was pretty good, but I found myself upping the intensity a bit on some of the moves, which made me happy that I could do that. I took it easy on the shoulder, though, and didn't do the overhead arm stuff. I modified so that at least my arms were actually moving. I had planned on walking outside, but I overslept, so I chose a home workout.
I hope everybody is having a good week so far.

I've just been diagnosed with repetitive strain injury in my wrist.... so my goal for october is to get rid of it. i also had a talk with a cycling consultant (?!! this is a thing) who showed me a cycle to work route that wont kill me (i never have because the only routes i know are dual carriageways with no cycle paths). 9 miles a day, god id be fit if i got into that. shame its october, and i can barely move my wrist. haha.
edit: the movement in my hand is limited as well, i cant grip properly or push down on the shift key with my right pinkie. so erm, sorry for all the un capitalised posts i promise i am pressing the shift key it just doesnt come out

30 Day Bootyful Yogis Challenge #INSTABOOTY #INSTABUM week 1.
BOOTYFUL YOGIS CHALLENGE WEEK 2 week 2.
My back hurt too much yesterday, so I only did 4 days last week.
I've been feeling so achy lately because of my neck strain so I've been trying to do some gentle exercise and eat more healthily. I stood on the scales and I have gained 1 and 1/2 lb. How is that possible?
Ah well, I just ordered groceries and added lots of vegetables, spinach, asparagus, lettuce, cress, broccoli and pak choi went into my basket.

It looks like you gained some muscle. Go girl, go.
I was just thinking that I haven't worn my engagement and wedding rings in ages as since I gained weight they don't fit and I couldn't be bothered to get them resized. It's been about 4 or 5 years. It would be nice to get them back on at some point in the future, or I could just buy a new wedding band...
I've just had porridge with sliced banana and almond milk for breakfast.
I'm sure that wasn't the reason. I just weighed myself again and I have lost a couple of lbs so I'm not sure what happened the other day, maybe because I was trying to drink more water.

Fluid retention ? I have thrown out the scales year ago and refuse to weigh myself.
The scales and I have a love/hate thing going on.Fluid retention ? I have thrown out the scales year ago and refuse to weigh myself.
I try to weigh in only once a week. I can get obsessive about it. I've not been to the gym since Tuesday. I worked a crap-ton of hours this week, so I chose rest instead.
I'm looking forward to tomorrow, though. I will get in a few miles of walking when I go to the Boston Vegetarian festival. I've decided to walk 1.5 miles from the train to the fest, rather than hop on the subway to the place.
And I am breaking in my new low hiking shoes today, so that I can wear them tomorrow. They are quite comfy, I must say.I did indeed get my walking in around Boston. Yesterday I did the treadmill for 35 minutes (traffic delayed my arrival to the work gym) and today I did a Leslie Sansone walk-at-home video. My workout partner has been out sick with the flu, so I took the opportunity to mix it up a bit and work out from home, with the bonus that I didn't have to schlep my clothes and whatnot to work for a change.

I did day 2 week 3 today. I have only been doing 4 days a week. I also added a nice 30 minute yoga session.
