I’m back in business! Just busted out a great 30 minute full body workout and feeling my spirits lifted as heck honestly.
Remembering where I’ve been and where I am right now, doing the stuff even when I’m down. Had a moment but here it is

Day 16 of my July Challenge.
Added my own exercises to the daily tasks to create a circuit. Probably should have done 3 rounds but it’s Saturday night here and I’m tired lol.

Monday - Did upper body today. Already feeling sore in my arms. Getting abit better feeling back muscles when I do exercises so that’s good. My dumbbell weights have also increased overtime. Sometimes I surprise myself haha it’s a good sign I guess. Tmrw is cardio and I’m looking forward to that!

Still keeping committed to my July Challenge.
- Sunday was my rest day.
- Yesterday (Monday) I did the circuit from Saturday as I enjoyed it so much.
- Today (Tuesday 19th) I did a 30 min run, 500 skips and 2 x rounds of 11 push ups, 38 crunches and 40 weighted squats (July daily challenge).
Physically feeling ok, but mentally I’m going through a really sad and flat phase… trying my hardest to push through and fake it until I make it. Really hoping it passes soon as its a shitty way to be feeling…

Thank you, they’re my favs because I like leggings to go just below my knee.

Staying physically active will not make your emotional funk any worse. That’s where the thinking leg of the thoughts/feelings/actions is important. You can decide to act even when you don’t feel like acting. Good for you!

Exactly, 100% agree!
For me, moving my body, above all else, is for my mental health. The physical benefits really are a bonus. Exercise literally keeps me sane and it’s so important to push myself on the days I least want to do it.
Very similar to how I handle recovery and sobriety - I’ve never woken up and regrettednot drinking the night before… I’ve never finished a workout and regretted doing it. Well 
except the death by burpee challenge… that one is in a league of its own

This is my relaxation. 20 miles, 90 minutes.
I do it 0-4 times a week, seems like three times a week lately.
Worked w weights a lot until almost two months ago. Covid rates too high for me. I have a ten and a 20 lb kettle ball at home, need to get busy doing something w them.
I think I can at least ( as opposed to doing nothing) lift them to waist level bunch of reps and then try some arm lifts etc. Anyone have good ideas let me know. I get some ideas in my email and on instagram,
Walking with one kettle ball in one hand is good. It is better ( more effective) than doing it w one in each hand. Note to self: Do It! Dont just talk about it!!
One of my favorite things I had been doing “in town” was pulling the cables out. 15 pounds on the cable and stepping out to the side 7 or 8 steps, holding the cables between my waist and chest. Good for my abs.
I have bands but they just are not the same. They seem too easy. Am thinking about putting some around a tree and doing those pull outs.
I may suck it up and go into Planet F long enough to do those and the lat pull downs. It is a covid ward in there, though, I am sure. It was not my usual place.
I used to walk, but its been over 100 for the last 42 days. The old me of grabbing ice cold water bottle at 99F and going out is not there rt now…
Thanks for listening. I like keeping up w y’all and what you are doing. We are all in this together.
