Saturday 12.14.2024
1. Begin with Breath Tai Chi: Day 11 - Release and Renew | FLEXIBILITY - 30 Days of Tai Chi: This had some different movements.
2. SBY: 10 minute MOBILITY Yoga for Neck & Shoulder Relief: This one felt nice I modified the eagle arms.
3. 3 mile walk outside.
4. Stomach Vacuums Challenge Day 8: 25 sec hold, 25 sec rest. 3 sets.

6. WOTD: Going The Distance: 1 set with knee push-ups.

Notes: Not the greatest day for my husband but he was able to walk 3 miles in a row, which we haven’t done in months. So, that’s good. In other cool but unrelated news, we have a fox that visits our backyard and today he spent the whole day here. 💓🦊

Thank you @MadamMeow ❤️

Wednesday 01.01.2025
1. Begin with Breath Tai Chi: Day 24 - Body and Soul Nourishment | FLEXIBILITY - 30 Days of Tai Chi: This was a more active session that had some extra balance poses.
2. YWA: Day 3 - Forget What You Know - 30 Days of Yoga: This session had a strong focus on balance, which I struggled with. I also had modify the boat flow.
3. Standing Abs Challenge Day 1: 20 knee-to-elbows, 5 sets. 30 seconds active rest of march steps between sets.
4. Fit December Day 1: Level 3, no rest. I am re-starting this program since I stopped in the middle of it.
5. Fit December Day 2: Level 3, no rest. This was tough. I struggled with the reverse lunges and the knee-up hold.

Notes: I spent the day in my pajamas (as planned) but I also did all of my planned workouts/Yoga. I also restarted meditation. I thought about setting up goals/plans but as the last 13.5 months has showed me, life gets in the way. I never thought that I would be in the place that I am mentally (or physically for that matter) but here I am. So my goal (for lack of better terminology) is to live mindfully (eat, breathe, work, exercise etcetera). I have no other choice because my thoughts take me to dark places and I can’t live there. A Yoga teacher once taught me “You become what you practice.” If I practice living mindfully, in all that I do, the anxiety, the weight, the sadness, and all the rest will take of itself…by action or acceptance.

2. YWA: Day 4 - Yoga For Your Back | Days of Yoga: No balancing or boats today and my foot only bothered me once.

4. Fit December Day 3: Level 3, no rest.
5. 4 mile walk outside.
6. Fit December Day 4: Level 3, no rest. I had to hang on for stability during the holds.
7. RttR: 1.0 MILE HAPPY WALK • 2300 Steps • Keoni Tamayo • Walking Workout # 175: These workouts are always pretty fun even though I am completely uncoordinated. It’s hard to get frustrated when there are kitties. 😻.

Notes: I completed all my planned workouts and we went for a 4 mile walk. The rest of my husband’s bloodwork came back and stable. There are other factors besides the bloodwork.
