What are your health / fitness goals? Accountability

@CraftyMofo I have been thinking about revisiting this one. A classic.

 

I woke up with a headache this morning and didn't feel motivated. I think I got dehydrated since I've been working in the garden a lot lately. I went for a 3.5 mile walk in Hilo then did a 50 minute upper body workout. I'm glad I did it!
I did spend the evening watching Billions and munching on pork rinds and macnuts.
Hope you'll have a wonderful weekend!

 

My workouts have shifted to the evening hours. Yesterday I did a 50 minute total body workout and I think today is going to be upper body. I Shoveled soil for about 3 hours. That's definitely a workout in the hot sun. I hope you are all having a wonderful week!

 

I'm starting to get shoulders! My lower body has always been stronger than my upper body, but it feels good to work on upper body too. I'm still learning how to use my camera phone timer and was excited to see my shoulders in this picture.

Geez!

 

This hot weather makes me feel like a melted candle. I'm so thankful that walking at night is an option. My workouts have shifted to the evenings too. Yesterday was leg day and today is technically a rest day. I might try to fit in some dancing and yoga because it's been awhile.
I hope that you are all staying hydrated and safe wherever you are.
Also, how is it already the end of August? This summer flew by and I am ready for some cooler weather.

Xoxo

 

I’m ready for Fall.

 

Me too! I think it's my favorite season.

 

One year doing Jiu Jitsu now. Mentally and physically I’m in a much better place than last August. Yay.

 

Yay! Happy 1 year! I think it's incredible that even though you weren't in a good place a year ago, you found such a healthy outlet and have stuck with it! Cheers!

 

Tonight I’m resting. Old farts need rest.

 

@Meat I hope you enjoyed the rest. I'm learning that the rest is just as important as the work. Maybe even more so.

 

Today is my rest day too! Last week was my birthday week and it felt so good to feel strong and good about myself. I'm going to start a new program on Monday! So excited!

 

Happy Friday Everyone!
I took an actual rest day yesterday and it was really nice. Today I feel well-rested and ready for leg day in a few hours. I'm going to take a stab at writing "fear porn" and this is my first article in the series. I decided to base this one on the fires that happened in Maui. It really hits close to home...

Be Prepared Because Nobody Is Going To Save You - Alana Knows

How are you doing? Do you have goals for this month of September? Do you have plans for labor day weekend? I made my first batch of sour skittle hot sauce and it turned out really well.

I think I need to know more about this sauce!

 

Peppers grow so well in this climate compared to everything else and they seem to fruit year round once the plants get strong and established. I decided to plant even more varieties and wanted to start making hot sauce. For this one I ground up sour skittles and infused it with my peppers (Hawaiian chilis, Jalapenos, and habaneros). It has a mild fruity / sour flavor and some nice spice to it. Right now it's at the novelty level not quite daily driver status yet, but we'll get there .

 

Yes! Keep fighting and living.

 

I'm just getting back into the gym after have a bad head cold and sinus infection for most August! I have been back for 3 visits now and hope to keep it up!

 

I missed 3 classes due to work but today I returned!! Labor Day so a bunch of extra gorillas. I hold my own but not against black belts. Ouch!
