Yesterday I did a 20-minute Peloton strength workout and 20 minutes of restorative yoga. I plan on walking or doing a ride today. I’m up early to get my annual blood work this morning.

Shannon-Great job with the yoga.

Carolyn-Great job with P 30 Perfect Pump Lower Body and the Extended Stretch.

Cathy-Great job with the kickbox workout, walking at the zoo, and LITE Body Weight and Bands.

Valerie-Great job with your long hike.

Good morning. Yesterday I did my PHA-style total body weight routine plus abs. I had some great 80s music going and was singing along. You wouldn’t want to be there, but I had fun, LOL.

Carolyn – Good work with Perfect Pump Lower Body and the stretch. I probably need to do something to keep my head in the wellness game a bit better. I’m starting to experience the weight gain thing that we older ladies have to deal with. Ugh.

Cathy – Glad you’re still here. How long did you walk to get in 16,000 steps? Great job! Transylvania County, huh? I wonder who came up with that name? Yes, we have snakes. They’re not a problem (unless they crawl into my garage), they’re just part of living out here. We have copperheads and water moccasins, plus a variety of nonpoisonous ones – green ribbon snakes, black snakes, king snakes, and some others. I don’t see as many as I used to – more people out here now, chasing the wildlife away. Oh, we have the coral snake, which I’ve never seen, and its nonpoisonous look-alike – a Louisiana something or another (?), which I have seen. Lots and lots of snakes.

Valerie – I’m sorry your back ruined the hike. You are a determined woman to keep going.

Judy – Nice job with your strength and yoga workouts. I hope your blood work comes back nice and normal.

I had an appointment this morning, but I managed to fit in a short cardio workout. I did JS 15 Minute Calorie Burst, 15 minutes, 110 calories burned, average heart rate 121, and maximum heart rate 154.

Cathy, great job with the kickboxing workout and LiTE Body Weights and Bands. Your NC trip sounds like fun.

Valerie, it’s good that you managed a harder hike with rest breaks. I log my food consistently since it’s so easy to do on the app (I’m a list maker so logging works well for me). Some of my food choices aren’t always the best but I keep track of them anyway.

Judy, great job with 20 minutes of Peloton rides and 20 minutes of restorative yoga.

Shannon, great job with your PHA style total body plus abs.
