Ugh, my workout consistency has been fairly terrible...and not really short term, either. This is now officially an ongoing problem that waxes and wanes. Yes, it's true that I exercise regularly. But I just so rarely hit all of my target workouts anymore, or even all of my planned strength workouts. Back from 2015-2020, I… Continue reading More workout woes…
I'm really thrilled with my new year's workouts so far! So far I have hit 100% of my planned strength workouts (have completed 13 so far this month) and I'm especially proud of my CARDIO efforts! I've completed 9, but best of all, it feels like it's finally becoming more of a routine habit. As… Continue reading Happy with progress + showing up
Next up- my Health/Fitness goals! These are probably a little more boring, but important to me and I still like them. 1. Do 200 strength, 150 cardio and 50 yoga workouts this year. I originally had shared about this idea a few weeks ago, to zoom out and try to hit a yearly total instead… Continue reading 2025 Goals: Health/Fitness
Okay, abruptly changing gears from my sad post yesterday! I want to share the final list of "streaming workout" options that you guys all gave me on this post. (I think it's a fitting topic, because from what I know, regular exercise and living a very active life is one of the things consistently linked… Continue reading Streaming workout final round up!
This weekend, I was looking at some Apple watch data with my dad, who just got his first ever Apple watch (series 7), since his old Fitbit finally bit the dust. He specifically was interested in some of the more sophisticated Health trackers that Apple has. As we were exploring the "Browse" category in the… Continue reading Some random health data from my Apple watch
Hey! Sorry to disappear. We went to my parents' house for 2 nights (Wed-Fri) for the 4th last week, and then the "extended family interpersonal situation" I mentioned recently escalated some over the weekend and has had my brain on the fritz. Since I'm the one who is home during the day (obviously working, but… Continue reading Steps woes and other updates
This title perhaps sounds grander than it really is, because I don't have any crazy big goals for 2024. (I mean, I'm not trying to qualify for the Boston marathon like someone I know is! 😉 SO excited for her on this, by the way!) My fitness main goals are: 1. Keep strength training regularly.… Continue reading Fitness goals for 2024 and new strength program
Today I did something I haven’t done in a LONG time: I ran! On the treadmill, because it was very cold out and let’s not get too crazy. I really need to do more cardio. You all know I am Team Strength Training, and I feel pretty strongly that strength training is the secret sauce… Continue reading I ran!
I am trying to get back to consistency with my workouts, but I had a little revelation this week: The gym doesn't really fit in very well on Fridays. This is kind of one of those things where I kept trying to force a square peg into a round hole. *I should clarify- the gym… Continue reading No Gym Fridays
1. Writing today from a coffee shop near Ethan's (new) high school.... It was my day to drive to the 7:30 a.m. strength and conditioning class. So Ethan and I were up and out the door by ~6:50 to pick up his friend and drive across town. This whole thing (the distance/drive) is going to… Continue reading Things on a Thursday
GRATEFUL KAE
