  • Su-Bee- Buy some lifting gloves! They make a world of difference. And some days you are just more tired. Hormones, what you ate, your mood...everything affects your workout.

  • I have asked for lifting gloves for Christmas. Who would ever have thought I would need such a thing!
  • There's a few fitness things on my Christmas list too

    I'm being a bit of a schlump here before supper. Oh I'll get at my legs at some point today but .... for now a little breather won't hurt.
  • Didja do your legs???
  • I did sorta ... I just was feeling so wierd after waiting all day to do them. I couldn't get into the groove ... I did about 15 minutes and then went for a walk/jog ... heavy on the jog (for a change).

    They're weary this morning but ... I guess it was better than skipping the whole thing.
  • Good for you! 4:52 am? Wowzers.
  • Perimenopausal sleep patterns!

    It just about took a winch to get me off the couch this evening but now I'm glad I did. 40 minutes of walk/jog. Now I'm honestly, physically tired ... instead of the pi$$ed off exhausted I was when I got home from work.
  • LOL - yeah, you want to get rid of that feeling as soon as possible! I got in an ubwo and 30 mins cardio tonite. My left shoulder is acting up yet again, even though I'm doing my front & lateral lifts like a thumb on a beer can. Not sure what is up, I might need to just go to overhead presses or something instead.
  • Tonight - I spent about 25 minutes on the row machine and 15 on the stepper - worked my upperbody - but I think I may have pushed it too hard - normally I don't feel it until the next morning - but tonight I am already feeling it and it is not the good kind of sore that I normally feel.... off to take some tylenol and a hot shower........
  • Good Morning!
    It's pretty important to learn the difference between the kind of aches we get. Good for you Penney. I think we especially need to be mindful this time of year when stress is a factor too. Our minds wander and so does our form.
  • Thanks Susan - and you hit it right on the button... I was very agitated when I went and worked out yesterday. Today - I was still feeling pretty sore - so I just stretched and did a bit of cardio. Tomorrow - back on track!

    Have a great day everyone!!!
  • UGH! I half a$$ got my upper body done before I got called to work but food went waaaay of the BFL scales ... way off.
    I'm going to bed hoping to arise a smarter woman.
  • Skid skid ... is there a smiley for the sound of squealing tires?

    I am seriously not sure what happened the last couple of days, but it has to stop!

    I think I have today sorted out. The kids are all coming tomorrow, so the house needs work, I need to wrap and get some groceries. I should be able to calmly go about all that and slip in a nice walk/jog at least once.

    Here's to planning!
  • Hi everyone. I just found this forum. I just started BfL this week and feel FABULOUS!

    I'm sure I will be back here regularly for advice, support, and to encourage others - looks like a great bunch here!
  • They are a pretty great bunch. You make sure you drop in often!
