Log Your Daily Exercise

[City Slicker]

Hey @anthony - great you are back. You were missed.

New Year's Day - I did the Polar Bear Swim!
I am so stoked to have done it - I worked most of the night and then couldn't sleep after my shift. I knew about the swim and the city is close to mine so since I was already awake...

I got an awesome polar bear swim hat too! I came home to do a run because I was still freezing - just beginning to warm up now.

Happy to learn of this. Approximately 30 minute workout with light free weights, a first after an over 6 month set back due to an injured arm that seems to be regaining full function. Following some isometrics testing the injury in preparation. Hoping also to work in some breathing exercises, set down cigarettes, and incorporate some cardio and generally continue modifying life style this month, after I estimate a commitment to "life" I guess about 6 weeks back. The changes have made me feel much better and a worthy pursuit. I was apprehensive due to another malady that cleared with dietary changes (thank God), but I am thankful now.

I walked about a half a mile.

Welcome to all the new faces that have dropped into this forum. It's great to be around people that are working with movement in their bodies as a way to feel better. Best wishes to everyone.

Saturday, a nice and early long run this morning, 36kms.

Making plans now to foster a rescue dog. The rescue org I have been in touch with says they can't find foster homes and they need them so I am going to be doing that toward the end of January.

I said I could take a big dog that needed exercise and needed a chance to develop good doggie boundaries. I have done some of that with Homer. So soon I will have a full-time if temporary workout buddy.

Okay, I've been messed up for a while, exercising minimally, being either too depressed or too generally tired from studies, but finally I can do a bit more, especially to get rid of the 7 kg I somehow gained in the past 2-3 weeks.

Today I did 2 km running.

Going to do 10 km running every day, might take me a week or two to get to that, also, dedicate at least an hour a day to exercise (today was just 10 minutes of running)

Advice - I don't mean to be such a wuss, I did a great job with my previous workout and in some considerable pain. Good pain.. yay. Anyhow making a lot of changes and that is why I am here also as to keep me focused and on track. I am also quite sick- coughing so hard I am vomiting at points and had interrupted sleep 2 days. 3 hours one day then called in to work, and the neighbors children must have gone overboard with new years jumping on the floor upstairs waking me 3 times in the 5 hours broken sleep in these nights following the holiday as if their schedules have turned around, why children are up at 2:30 and 4 am I have no idea. I really and know I need the rest. Trying to balance things out. Making the most of it, cigarettes cut down by 1/3 and trying to catch up on sleep and balance my desire to keep moving forward. Resisting temptation with dietary and feeling famished for sustenance. (I am not overweight and this is not about weight) I do have to monitor inflammation in my body as it is now a proven contributor to depression but wanting to do stretching exercises and weights today minus lower body which seems to be in the most pain from to many squats and lunges. Again really just refocusing on this I am a bit apprehensive. I used to work out 4 hours a day before I fell into a hole (this was many years ago) and let myself go. Its a lot and this is not a new years resolution but changes began 6 weeks ago. Hoping I can shake this cold.

ok.. relearning all this. Stretching this AM reduced pain by half and feeling better. Maybe a half hour including a few push ups - have so much energy thus done with coffee. Looking forward to a work out tonight. Adopting a morning stretching routine it was so freeing. Continued tweeking diet and routine to get where I want to be. Thankful.

I thought about going to gym but am too scared to go. Too cold for outdoors. Trying to look at what others are doing to motivate me.

I've seen many logging Yoga Nidra. Looked up on Wikipedia and still am unclear. It describes it as lucid dreaming. Could anyone briefly explain? I'm just curious, have done hatha yoga but never heard of this.
