Making The Best Of Being Homebound

Mid October activity addition. Get back to running. Took off a few weeks for various reasons. I decided it was time to get back outside. The new accessory to take along is a mask 😷

October 13!! Still going strong with Peloton as the workout. This months goal is to make sure time to cool down and stretch. After a tough workout all I want to do is go home to shower. I know it is important to let my body cool down. I am feeling the difference already starting with a short 5 minute stretch.

Happy Friday!! Finishing the first week of September. The weather was perfect for Maryland, not too hot.

Friday night another thunderstorm came roaring into the area. After finishing errands I was finally able to muster the energy for the gym. Push the excuses away once you get the sweat working you know it’s worth the hard work.

Survived another Peloton workout 45 min class. I haven’t done one class 45 min worth in over one month. Waking up to getting straight to the workout for me works. I get to look forward to having coffee, tea, a smoothie whatever I’m feeling AFTER I get the workout done. So I will continue to strive for exercising when I first workout. It is a challenge while trying to fight through a roller coaster of emotions and planning a financial plan for my 2020 fall. I do know I am great full to exercise to take my mind off of the stress.

Happy Monday!!

July was hot!! Still got a lot of jogging in Peloton workouts decreased but still had a pretty productive month while working.

June 15. It’s been a few weeks. Still in quarantine from COVID that still exists. There has been a lot going on in the news. No time for me to self reflect on here. Still getting in at least sessions of exercise done. Usually more but last week was rough trying to get myself outside for a jog or upstairs to the gym.

May is almost over and the weather is finally acting like Spring. Workouts in the apartment gym has been continuous. So happy that my building continued to allow use of the gym during quarantine. Since the weather has been nice and I tried one jog/walk outside last week with my friend. She went out of town so I have continued alone. Plus I rarely exercise with anyone else. I feel like I need to work on my endurance to have a better jog with my friend next time. So far this week I got 2 outdoor jog sessions done. Today was a challenging route into the city. A lot of hills in comparison to where to taking my jog to the downtown harbor area. This route was more challenging and mile time was slower. Now I am motivated to make the time better.

Took a few days off from the treadmill. I couldn’t skip another day anymore. Long good exercise session.

Cinco De Mayo!! Cloudy day hopefully the sun breaks later this afternoon. Got the morning workout done on the Peloton. My right knee has been hurting that I’ve been a bit distance from the treadmill.

Happy Friday May 1!! It’s a rainy day once again. I woke up didn’t even look out the window to allow the weather to mess up my morning mood. Got the exercise clothes on and went straight to the gym.

Rainy Day weather kills my vibe to exercise. It took all day for me to finally get dressed to exercise. I never really got into the mindset to exercise today. Got it done somehow.

Haven’t been motivated to write anything lately. But I have been committed to exercising daily during the quarantine time. Last week in increased my cardio time to 45 minutes or more. Instantly I felt the difference and feeling my strength getting better. I am now on my knees doing 50 pushups daily. I still have to take breaks but the 50 pushups get done.

Friday Night putting in some hard work! It took me all day to find the motivation to workout today. I kept making all the excuses up in my head why it wasn’t the right time to exercise today. Finally got went upstairs to my gym to sweat it out on the Peloton.
