Building Muscle, Fit and Strong

I realized this morning I spend a lot of time doing mind games for working out. Just getting to the gym can be a mind game for me. If I make it easy to find my workout clothes, I have less internal resistance for going. I set an alarm about 45 minutes before I plan to be at the gym. One that says, start to get ready with your water bottle full and near the door. Fifteen minutes later, there's a buzzing to remind me that I'm going to leave in 15 minutes, so I should start getting my clothes on and finish up whatever I'm doing. Of course, I have a little alarm that says "Leave Now!" Setting my clothes out well ahead of...

Fit and Strong, Food and Drink

This week I have a lot of focus on family and food. It is Thanksgiving week and I'm texting lists of food with my sisters. We are trying to figure out who is bringing what part of the meal! We're planning to have a family get together and my Mom wants all the traditional fixings. Because we skipped Thanksgiving last year, I think this year has a whole lot more to be thankful for. I'm very thankful for the vaccine. Without it, I don't think we would be gathering again this year. Even so, it will be a smaller group than in years past. I went shopping several times this past week in preparation for Thanksgiving. Most recently, When I looked into my cart, I hardly...

Fit and Strong, Fitness, Sleep, Work Outs

While this past year has not been one with a lot of big activity for me, some of the routines and habits I have put in place are really helping me to stay fit. I noticed that I automatically do some things, mostly out of habit, but they are helpful, healthy routines that I thought I'd share. The things that I learned - especially about habits - have really helped me to stay more fit and active than I would have. Over the past year+ (during the Covid pandemic), I haven't had the type of big goals like I did set a few years back. However I've still been able to keep up some exercise. While I'm not running any races right now, I still try to continue...
