Just realized that I haven't picked up my weights in a few days now! Not good since I want to pick up some heavier weights this week. I thought that I was doing quite well until I read that kids are working out now with weights and seven year olds are using the same weights. Definitely time to add a few pounds!! It will be summer soon... here's hoping and I don't want to have "old lady" arms!!
Actually, I think that when I go downstairs... as soon as I post this to all of you, I might as well do a five minute walk. That is something else I'm trying to make a habit... walking more. It might be too cold to go outside, but there's no where written that you can't walk inside. No, I don't have a treadmill, but I have hallways lol!!
And... for those of you who are ready for a healthy snack right about now... I just finished 2 heaping teaspoons of plain yogurt with 2 heaping teaspoons of strawberry yogurt, covered with sunflower seeds. That should take me up to lunch time!!
Hope that everyone is having an awesome morning :)

Me too.... oddly enough, my daughter loves it!! Have no idea who she inherited that trait from?? But my challenge for March is working on my WILLPOWER... I am determine. So far this month, I have done all of the exercise part... but completely forgot the weights. I now have a program to remind me!!

I wonder why I kept neglecting my time to buy yogurt. Good thing I got moringa powder as supplement.

That what I like about it... I have the timer set every hour to at least get out of chair and move... walking just makes sense!!

Exercises helps you keep fit and strong. I used to jog for 2hours everyday until I stopped. I wish I hadn't stopped

Oh hope you'll pick up those weights. I haven't picked up weights for so many years. My arms are flabby. But I do take my daily walks with Danie.

Have you ever walked up and down the building steps? Some have done that. I did it before but not lately.

I first started working out with weights about 30 years ago, and while I have never been super disciplined in my efforts, I have come to regard this as one of the best things I have done in terms of my overall health. I do a 3 day split routine, so most weeks I work out 5 days, but sometimes it only works out to 4 days a week. Because of life's challenges, I have not done any exercise of any kind since the end of October 2018. I recently got back into it, and one of the things that I noticed is that even when I go for several weeks without working out, getting back in stride is far easier than when I first started. They say that muscle has memory, and it seems to be so. In addition to working out with the weights, I use a Tony Little Gazelle. I used to run, but I have arthritis in both knees and find that the glider removes the stress from the knees, while still providing a good aerobic workout.
