Been getting my steps in as well as water and eating. Bought a pair of pants yesterday in a smaller size that made me smile.

Decided I need to focus more on my strength and more intense movement than my girls classes are giving me so I joined a private gym. Once a week I will be working with a group of 2-3 people and a trainer who will focuse on increasing our strength. There are several other classes I can take, but will wait to see what they involved.

I found this private gym a while back.. like 2 years ago… but thought the morning classes I do would be enough to challenge me. Not so and over time realized I missed the “real gym” atmosphere. The new gym has active members of my age who like to train the way I did in the past.

Anyway I’m excited to start my new journey to see how far I can take it. Talked to my new trainer and we are on the same page with my training. The gym its self is very similar to the ones I went to in the past. All my other ones were privately owned, not national chains, and it feels very familiar to me.

I start next Tuesday so we shall see.

I hit 14 out of 14 hours of moving more than 250 steps yesterday. It resulted in exceeding 10K steps. The weird thing is I wasn't doing anything unusual and the steps just seemed to happen.

Today doing more weeding I can tell it's working muscles as I was a bit sore today not bad.
That's a good thing. Did 2x more rounds started the next section.
2K of my a m 3K steps are done now.

Friday: I did my exercises this morning - 11 hearts

[Twins' Mom]

Lauralind, it will still be here when you circle back through! I'm not always so diligent but it helps to have friends reporting here.

Over 10K steps yesterday and the lovely workout. I was tired, lights out by 9:30ish and slept in this morning too. My weight has stabilized around a new, lower number.

BTW, for any wondering, I'm using Zepbound to lose weight. I've been hovering around the obese BMI number for awhile and I have high blood pressure, so under the guidelines I qualify under the guidelines for use. I do eat fairly well, exercise and walk and felt I needed a little something to bring my weight down. It's working although I hate the thought of being on it for life.
