Fast forward a few hours and I did 6 miles - not the all day affair I had planned, but definitely effective nonetheless.

And I guess I'm doing pretty well with the clean eating because I don't have much food in the house right now (too lazy to shop today, lol) so I heated up a little bag of Zatarains red beans and rice (which usually tastes not great but palatable to me) and I think I inadvertently licked a salt shaker. Yuck!

Can't finish it. No way.

Ginger (what else, lol?) Kombucha for a zingy encore and to rid myself of that horrible salty taste.

But I guess I'm combining two threads now, so I digress....

:)

I took a one hour walk in the park. I was supposed to meet a friend/acquaintance but she stood me up. Luckily the beautiful flowers and sunset did not stand me up :)

Me Stomach Burns
 

I walked about 90 minutes with a friend today in the park. It was quite humid but once one embraces it and begins to think of it as a sauna or a tropical paradise, it's a little better.

Did arms only on the fan bike for 10 minutes. Then various shoulder exercises.

Followed that with 20 minutes, legs only, on the fan bike before I could not sit on the seat any more.

Then abs for about 20 minutes.

So today was just not my day.

I was tired after work and thought I'd come home to workout.

Well, first my fan bike at home is terrible, so 10 minutes arms only was impossible. Then my shoulder exercises were just really painful today, so I did not get the full 20 reps of each exercise.

I have been feeling stressed and just blah lately, so I though yoga would be good. Center myself a little. During a 30 minute yoga video, I was interrupted by my dog, 2 phone calls, and my dad showing up unannounced at my place.

Needless to say, I don't feel less stressed.

I am sidelined with an ankle injury :(

But I will be y'all's cheerleader...:cheerleader:

and I may try yoga...but its a freaky tendon in my inner ankle and it doesnt love when I flex...or walk....or breath...sooo we shall see....

Today was my first day back at school after the break between summer school and the regular school year, and I want to get in to the habit of going to the gym at least every other day after work- so I went right to the gym. I already felt overstimulated from getting back into the fray of things at work and then going to the gym just felt kind of exhausting but I did it (45 minutes stair master- intervals, level 2 and 6; 45 minutes of abs, weight lifting and yoga). Glad we all have each other <3

I've been slacking majorly! I really need to get back on it!

Ugh!
 

So my workout routine is going to be messed up for the next couple months, at least.

I saw the orthopedic today. I need to have surgery on my shoulder. But the earliest appointment I could get is Oct. 12th. So until then I'm on light duty. And only OTC Ibuprofen to deal with the pain.

I think it's going to be a long month...

Walked 6 laps around the dog park which is the size of a full size track. Getting back in the exercise groove!

I normally join my dad for a golf outing on Sunday of Labor Day weekend. But with my shoulder, I'm not able to golf.

I did go for a walk this morning. No idea how far.

I took an hour walk in the park today. I'm super excited about what the park will be like in fall :)

I had a headache like all last night and most of the day today. So I slept in and was a lazy bum. I played Minecraft but I dont think that counts since it just uses thumbs mostly.

BUT Iam so looking forward to Autumn , thats my time of year. I can feel it coming and with it all my energy that hibernates in the summer when I step outside and feel Like im being cremated. I have plans I tell you...PLANS. Gonna lose some weight for sure.
