Hi!

A late thank you for the birthday wishes. It has been a while. I turned my life around twice in 2024, once in January (moved out of a bad living situation, moved in with friends) and once in late July (moved out of my friends' house, into a new city in an apartment I share with roommates).
Now that I've recovered (a little) from that and that I am in what is now a good living situation, I want to be more active again!

I've been outside and visiting things, walking a lot - Toulouse is a bigger city than what I was used to - and I'm still doing that, but I also want to do workouts and programs, so I am back At least for now, I try to not put too much pressure on myself. But everyone has always been kind to me here, so I want to be back.

 

[Fremen]

Welcome back

 

[JCU]

Welcome back!

 

[Matan]

Welcome back @Calico. It's great to see you!

 

[Calico]

Thank you!

Just to get into the flow of things again, I started the Recovery program

I may add additional workouts to it on days when I have the energy / the time, but today I went outside and also cleaned the house, so Recovery day 1 is enough!

 

[aku-chan]

Welcome back!

 

[Calico]

Thanks!

Today I did Recovery day 2, and also the workout of the day (Helios) at level 1 (with EC).

Today I did Recovery day 3/15! I also was busy walking outside.

 

[Calico]

Today I did Recovery day 4/15

 

[Calico]

Today I did Recovery day 5/15!

I hope to do more workouts during the week-end, too.

 

[Calico]

Today I did Recovery day 6/15, and also the Upperbody Tendon Strength workout

 

[Calico]

Today I did Recovery day 7/15, and also the Begin Again workout. I thought it was a fitting name

 

[Cori]

Welcome back. I, too, started again this past Monday. Feeling some soreness but glad to be back. Nice to meet you! Happiness and peace! Cori

Thank you! It's nice to see other people starting again!


I've decided to skip the yoga days in Recovery because I don't like them (yoga is simply not for me, I think. To each their own!), and if it doesn't suit me I don't want to force it. My goal is wellness, after all. So I skipped day 8 and did Recovery day 9/15! I also did the Knee Strength workout.

 

[Calico]

I will not have much time today, so I just did Recovery day 10/15

 

[TopNotch]

It's not how much you do that matters; what matters is that you turned up and did something.

 

[Calico]

Yes, I do completely agree.

Oh, and I've also updated the first post of the thread today.

[wjs]

Welcome back, Hirae... er, Calico. I remember you from the old Hive. Thank you for stopping by my thread, which is what alerted me to your return*.











*Well, your relative return, anyway, since you've been back about a week.

 

[Calico]

Thank you!
I also remember you @wjs ! I hope you've been doing well

I haven't updated yesterday because the website and the Hive were very slow for me, and today it's still slow but less so. But yesterday I still did Recovery day 11/15! I will see later what I do today.

 

[Calico]

I'm still having a lot of trouble with the website being slow, but I did Recovery day 13/15 (skipped day 12), and the Soft Start workout!

 

[Louve Rose]

the website and the Hive were very slow for me

For me too. It was difficult to open the program I do.

 

[Calico]

Today I did Recovery day 14/15. Almost done!

 

[Calico]

Day 15/15 of Recovery done!

 

[JCU]

Congratulations on Recovery!

 

[GentleOx]

Yay! Onto the next one

 

[Louve Rose]

Congratulations !

 

[Fremen]

Congrats

 

[Obsinosterous]

Well done!

 

[Antheia & Colossus]

Congrats!

 

[TopNotch]

Congrats!

 

[Calico]

Thank you all!

I have decided to start the Unbound program. I may add another workout on some days. But today it's just Unbound day 1/30

 

[Mamatigerj]

Cheers for Recovery!

 

[CODawn]

Congratulations!

 

[Calico]

Thank you

Unbound day 2/30 done!

 

[Calico]

Today I did Unbound day 3/30

 

[Calico]

I decided I wanted to also do a challenge, so today I started the wall push-ups challenge

Done today:
- wall push-ups challenge day 1/30
- unbound program day 4/30

 

[Calico]

Today I did day 2 of the wall push-ups challenge, and I skipped day 5 of Unbound since I really dislike floor exercises and I think it's better for me that I do exercise that I can enjoy (or be neutral about, at least), so I did day 6 instead!

see you tomorrow!

 

[Calico]

Today I did day 3 of the wall push-ups challenge and day 7 of the unbound program!

 

[Calico]

Day 4/30 of the wall push-ups challenge and day 8/30 of the unbound program done

 

[Calico]

Today I did day 5 of the wall push-ups challenge, and day 9 of the unbound program

 

[Calico]

Done today:
- wall push-ups days 6/30
- unbound day 10/30
