SUNDAY 1 JUNE 2025
~Rest Day​

:v: Begin the day with a hug
:v: Counting Blessings
:v: Morning Meditation


My plans for JUNE:

DAILIES
  • Early Morning Walk
  • Exercise of the Day
  • Fighting Cancer
MONDAY - SATURDAY
  • Challenge: Re:Center i am not up for the wall-sits in this month's Reset Challenge, but i saw a few people doing this one in May and liked the look of it.
  • Challenge: Push_Ups & Squats these days will alternate perfectly with the leg raises & plank hold days in Re:Center, hoping to keep building some muscle.
AFTERNOONS & SATURDAYS
  • Workouts from the database or Workout of the Day at least 3 per week; i am thinking about doing the Recomp Plan at some point this year, and this is my way of kind of dipping my toe in the water.
EVENINGS on Mon&Tue, Thu& Fri
  • Program: ZEN with some tweaks:
    • doubling up the days, so that i do both yoga & meditation
    • increasing the meditation times more gradually: so 2 days of 10min, then 11, 12, 14, 16, and 18, and finally 3 days of 20
EXTRA
  • Neighbourhood Pool hoping to go a couple of evenings every week
 
Thank you, @graoumia and @Lady Celerity!:heartsit:

~8 years ago, i originally joined the Hive. I have had stumbles and stops and starts along the way, but i can honestly say that finding this community is one of the best things that happened in my life. I am forever grateful to @neilarey and @Damer and their team for the incredible work, and to all of my fellow Bees for the unfailing support and encouragement!
