Our Strength Workouts for the Coming Month

source Note:  I am sharing what our routine will be, this isn't suggesting you do it.  Consult your doctor before starting any new exercise program. First off, a very happy birthday to my bestie!  Wishing you an evening sans bra in front of the tube, enjoying your gifts and knowing you're loved! 🎂🎁 *** We have officially been doing strength training again for two full months.  I've got to admit, I'm proud of us.  It's hard going from none, being upset with how far your strength capacity has plummeted and discouraged to making sure you stick with it every week.  June was 2x week until the final week trying to build a base and then the final week and through July we went to 3x week.  This past week, I tried to up it for most exercises to 15 lbs.  I don't feel as strong as I did when we were doing it regularly but I'm getting there.  I know it's more important now than ever so we can maintain not just base strength but hopefully improve our b...

Quick update

Just a quick update. We still don't have power, over 100 degrees and we have been hanging in. I am a modern day pioneer goddess. I've got 2 words for you...grilled croissants. Yep. I have discovered there is nothing I can't bust out on the grill! I thank you for your thoughts and prayers as we trudge through this. On a health related note, we haven't missed a single workout! They are smaller in scale so we don't croak but still effective and I'm pretty proud of us. I hope to be back to it next week? Fingers crossed. ====================

    You and the Mr. are troopers; hoping for power and some relief on the heat front very, very soon!

    Glad to hear you're still kicking... something. Here's hoping for a return of your power.

    Then that makes you an effin' rock star. I can barely drag myself to the air conditioned rec center. Although, half the time, I think it would be cooler to run outside than on their indoor track.

    I was thinking of you earlier today, and how I hadn't seen anything from you in a while. I thought my Google Reader was acting crazy again until I remembered you didn't have power. Glad you're doing okay. Continue rockin' it!

    No croaking allowed!

    Thanks for checking in and letting us know how you're faring. Here's hoping you're living in air-conditioned splendor soon!

    I hope you get power back soon! Our A/C just went today, but at least we have power. Way to be creative, too!

    You guys are awesome! It sucks that you still don't have power, but I'm so glad you're in good spirits. All my fingers and toes are crossed for power to be restored soon. *HUGS*

    It can't be that much longer, can it? You're certainly making the best of it and I think of you every day, hoping this is over soon!

    As far as the other challenges in your life (I've been reading your SP posts too) I say if it doesn't make your "current situation" (sorry) easier, blow it off and blow it away until you are better able to deal with it. Everything and everybody else can wait. This IS about you these days, you need to preserve your coping skills for your own needs.

    One day, this will be a part of your reminiscences: "Remember back in '12 when it was so hot and our power went out for days?"

    Sending cool energy your way.

    You are a rock star when it comes to doing anything. I am not at all surprised to find out you can make, no grill croissants. I know without a doubt that you and the Mr. will get down to the weight that you have chosen. Do not doubt it one bit. You have helped me to push harder and thus be more successful. Thank you!
