August Healthy Thread

[Witty_Sarcasm]

Starting this a few days early again, so I don't forget :P Anyway, I have some really good news to share. I managed to lose 6 pounds this month! I was really surprised because I didn't think I lost much at all, let alone that much. I haven't been working that hard at it, but if I work even harder, I'm sure the results will be even more noticeable. I guess that's 14 pounds now since I started this journey. It's the most weight I've lost at one time in as long as I can remember. How are you all doing with your goals?

That's splendid @Witty awell done!!

These healthy threads are helping me btw.

I'm managing to cut back on sweet snacks quite a bit which has improved my appetite for real food. And I've been out walking &/or jogging 4 days a week for a couple of months now. My workouts are going pretty well. I am doing arms one day and a bunch of core work, & can still do 3 1 minute planks. They hurt lol. I added in a bunch of leg work for my pulled quad muscle.

14 pounds is a fine start. Lose it as you can and never get discouraged. Like seabird I am doing better on skipping junk foods which is a plus.

Yesterday after a walk I got a shoulder workout in, plus core work.
This morning I did a little leg workout, strengthening the quads & some yoga hip opening stretches.

rest day

Exactly how it should be. Rest is as important for health as anything else.

This routine structure has been working for me. From 3x / week for the five years to trying to build up to 1hr everyday. 😺

Yesterday was a total rest day. The day before, I got out for an hour-long walk-jog. Did strength work & stretches in the morning. It will be important to keep this gooing after getting back to Mt., as much for my mental health as physical.
