Hello Bees, I am always around, even if not logging regularly. My activity is fluctuating, depending of my knee, my fatigue, and life, actually i started the new program (light), september challenge
I did WOD this morning, and EOD. Did 10 minutes of stationery bike after lunch, and i am trying to start again workout in the morning, i know it is better for me, i was used to do this a few years ago. And i am still thinking about a routine, i really liked first thing plank, and the balance swings from Better core challenge, as well as stomach vacuums, i need to make some tests.
Else, i am actually without fitness watch, she was a month old, but the screen stopped working, and it stayed 8 days in the UPS deposit .... it is on its way back since today. It was really long.
Take care bees, see you soon

Glad to see you are still keeping active, and your positivity across everyone's logs when you stop by is always noticed and appreciated. :)

Hope you get your watch back soon! That is crazy it sat so long!

thanks @MadamMeow . It should be delivered on next monday. It is less difficult now than at the beginning, i had so much occasion to check it ever day, then i was realizing it was not there, no button to click on to see what time it is, how my steps are going, or what is my heart rate. i had the feeling to get crazy, forgetting all the time i don"t have watch to look at ....

yesterday i was feeling my calves a bit tired, and thought i will again have some cramps during the night, it would habe been a good idea to strech, because instead of usual cramps, i had a very big one, i woke up my husband, which was very anxious he didn"t understand what happened, it made about 30 days i hadn't this kind of cramp, really painfull, and difficult to "unlock" my calf. So not a lot done today , i make a break with bike, and try to drink more, ate a banana and took some magnesium supplement (not good :pmode:)

Have a nice day/week-end, i will maybe update later if i move a bit....

Hello bees,
I hope you are all doing well. I didn't realize i didn't update my journal since september. Anyway i come back from one month of covid, like my whole family, and i am still struggling with many things. But actually i never stop working out, this is good.
I am so happy to see the secret santa event back here. Just a quick note to my secret santa, i usually workout with low impact, i do strength training, yoga, cardio, stationnery bike. I have a bad knee and now a shoulder that is really annoying me almost everyday, but it doesn't prevent me from moving. And i am testing collagen, my knee is now better. Have fun, and take care bees

thanks @Mamatigerj i am so happy to read all your news.

Actually i am doing as much as possible of stationnery bike to try to increase my cardiovascular ability. I am also on Fit December, which is fun each year, the butt kicks challenge of december, 50 squats a day and calves of stell (again). I am also doing again foundation light and ironborn, but as usual i started a lot of things, so i sometimes miss some days of some .... But this way i can choose fun things matching my fitness level of the day. I struggled a lot these months, and realized it was due to perimenopause, i think i could start a post to discuss about it with other bees facing the same challenges : fatigue, bad digestion, bad sleep, joints issues, etc

take care bees

Hello Bees

Happy new year to you and your loved ones.
I am still there, some days are better than other. I did my gift and i really enjoyed it, it was so original, and mixing a lot of things i like. Thanks Santa you are the best. I also did my secret gift, but i choose the exercices for my giftee, not for me :LOL: it was less fun. i hope my giftee liked it more. I really admire all the bees testing all the gifts

Take care bees

Hello

I forgot to mention that i put in my routine https://darebee.com/workouts/before-bed-workout.html and https://darebee.com/workouts/knee-saver-workout.html

Today i did https://darebee.com/workouts/shieldmaiden-workout.html as WoD, EOD, and my sons are in charge of choosing the workout for my recomp plan, lower body will be : https://darebee.com/workouts/sculpted-legs-workout.html, not yet determined for the core one

We went for a walk in the morning, and this evenig too. I also started back OMAD, because i felt better this way skipping dinner, and i want to be fitter for my holidays. It is in 6 weeks from now. But socially it is not easy , my husband find this frustrating. I need to find the right balance....

Have a nice day
