25 October 2023
This morning I did:
Caroline Girvan - 5 Min Full Body Warm Up with Caroline Girvan
Followed by her:
IRON Series 30 Min Superset Arms, Abs and Core Workout | 20
And then, because the cool-down stretches were too short for my liking, I did:
Daniela Suarez - 7 MIN STRETCHING EXERCISES AFTER WORKOUT (New) | FULL BODY COOL DOWN FOR RELAXATION & FLEXIBILITY
I mostly used my 5kg weights, but alternated on just a few of the moves. Found the push-ups and planks quite harsh so did some on knees and used a resistance band for help as well.
Something interesting I watched yesterday gave me lots of food for thought:
RESPIRE - Neuroscientist: "This Simple Skill Will Keep You Motivated" | Andrew Huberman
So I was trying to enjoy the workout focusing on the effort itself, rather than an end reward. I never do usually anyway. But, during the workout I knew I would really enjoy the hot shower afterwards too. Maybe the shower is part of the 'work/effort' process though - and not the reward at the end. If I didn't put the work in I'd just have a normal shower instead of a really satisfying one where I feel like I started my day off the right way. And I think some of my reward would be when I look at myself in the mirror again and see a difference with my muffin-top or bat-wings.
Anyhoo, then we've had some good weather today so went for an hour long walk in the park with hubby. I'll walk to work this evening too and for the rest of the week as well.
So, the plan is to do another workout on Friday morning, and perhaps this time a full-body one.
Happy Wednesday all! Two months to Christmas. xxx

This morning I did:
Kaleigh Cohen Strength - 30-minute Shoulders & Arms SUPERSET Strength Training
Followed by her:
Upper Body Post-Workout Stretch
I used 5kg and 2.5kg and alternated on some moves. All-in-all quite a good workout, but not my favourite so I won't be adding it to my rotation.
Glad I got up and did if after setting my alarm for 6:30, then 7:30, then actually waking up at 7am and finally getting out of bed at 8am to workout. Not easy when ones bed is warm and toasty and it's dark outside, but it is a work in progress.
Happy Monday all! xxx

This afternoon I did:
Kaleigh Cohen Strength - 30-minute Upper Body Strength Training with Dumbbells
Followed by her:
15-minute POST-WORKOUT STRETCH for Injury Prevention & Flexibility
Good fun with 5kg weights, but I did the warm up bit with 2.5kg. I love the stretches afterwards. Only did a 45ish minute walk this evening before dinner so I'll hopefully get some more steps in tomorrow.
Watching South Africa vs England in the Rugby World Cup semi-final later. I'll be happy whichever team wins, but it should be a good game. Kind of exciting!
Hope you're all having a great weekend! xxx

So this week has not gone too well. So far I've managed 2 of the 3 strength workouts I'm aiming for - so might do the third tomorrow. IF flew out the window since Tuesday already hence my calories are rather high for week days and it didn't help that hubby brought home Christmas Mince Pies and so of course I had those as well.
I think I've managed to keep protein higher than usual so I'll try to keep that up and then I'll just try to improve on the other things next week and onward. I think I've averaged about 5k steps a day, which is lower than I'd like, but I think Google Fit sometimes doesn't measure everywhere I'm walking so rather frustrating. I'm walking to work again this evening (for the 3rd time this week) and will walk in to town or to the park over the weekend while hubby is working - and depending on the weather as always.
Anyhoo, so it's a loss of only 1.25kg since my official first weigh-in on the new scale on Monday morning. Much higher than my previous weight on FS recorded on my old scale, but that's ok. Progress needs to be made.
Have a lovely weekend all! xxx

Gaining 0.7 kg a Week
18 October 2023
This afternoon I did:
Caroline Girvan - 5 Min Full Body Warm Up with Caroline Girvan
Followed by her:
20 Minute Full Body Complexes and Sets Workout | Dumbbells
What a great workout and I loved that Staple Complex. Got my heart pumping right from the first move and kicked my butt at the end (in a good way). I needed far more time than she did to do 5 reps of each at the end, but got it done and felt really good. I upped my weights to 5kg when I saw that RDLs were involved and I do love my RDLs. Interested to see what DOMS there are after this one because Monday's workout only gave me some twinges in the stomach muscle area yesterday - so I think I was ready for that extra kilogram.
It's our 22nd wedding anniversary today and I always pride myself on weighing less than I did at 24 when we got married, which was 68kg. For the last couple of years I've hovered above that, but this morning the new Renpho scale reading was 68.10kg so I'll take that as a win. Hubby, on the other hand is currently around 130kg and I think he weighed give or take 110kg when we got married. And he was around 95kg when we first met and he looked so cool in his wet suit for the few months he took up surfing.:) He is 2m tall so carries it well, but I still think he could do with losing 20kg for his own health. I hope that he'll flip the switch in his mind sometime and want that for himself as well. I hope the new scale and some small subtle changes will have him at a much lower weight in a year's time, but we shall see.
Hope you're all having a great week! Happy Wednesday! xxx
