20 minutes (ok 19 and a half, but counter said 20 in the playlist) Just Dance 2015. (Before today I was using the 2014 disk. One of these days I may try to get a disk from later years?).

Lunch workout.

Yesterday: mowed and did some light yard work (pulled up a few trees and replanted them away from the house, cut down some overgrowth on the fence, etc.)

Today:
Just Dance 20 minutes
100 lb bench press x 20
30 lb Kettlebell 2 hand swing x 20
25 lb dumbbell curl x 16

As Katrina did swim lesson today I sat on the pool deck and lifted Ted, the 20 lb dumbell (Bill stays in the other vehicle).  Did 30 curls x 2, 15 curls x 1, seated overhead lifts 30 x 3

Just Danced for 15 minutes this morning… Wanted to do more but I’m a bit out of shape and tired, etc.

Swim Classes continue, and Dance Classes start for Katrina, but overtime starts up again for me, so time to workout is limited slightly between all the classes, commuting, and the ot.

Yesteday:
100 lb bench x 10

Today:
Mowed.  Note: When I’m talking about mowing here, it’s a push mower, that has a bag on it, and I haul the grass in that back to the hollar out in back of the house behind the back yard every so often when it gets full.  The moving the bag is very similar to a ‘farmers carry’ type of maneuver in a gym.
Cut a few branches off of front yard tree that kept hitting van

Moved a heavy branch that knocked out my home made banister for the little concrete stairs to the hollar out back… There’s too many weeds and poison oak down there to go down there this part of the year… maybe in the fall or spring I’ll check it out. planted a bunch of apple tree seeds down there before the weeds all came up.

Partial Shovel Glove/Sledge hammer workout:
Fence Post x 12 (actually pounded sledge in to tires I have planted in the ground a while back.
Churn Butter x 12 on each arm
Show Shovel move x 12

Stopped after that since arms were getting exhausted. Using a 12 lb sledge.

Sadly, my weight is back up to where it was at in June of 2012…  However, that’s not going to be the case forever.  I’m hoping to start tracking things a bit closer and getting some good habits created and breaking the bad habits.  When I first was diagnosed with diabetes many years ago I did really good for a while, but over the years many ups and downs have lead me to where I am now… but the past isn’t the future.  The future has much potential, and I plan to make the present become something I’m focused on more so that the future’s potential becomes more of a reality….

 

Did a few swim laps during Katrina’s swim lessons again last night.  I probably need to come up with a plan to really start being more consistent with workouts… but some days, like today, you just get up and don’t feel like working out.

Changing diet is something I’m going to focus on soon too…

and working on my sugar levels, etc.

Gonna be some work….

but definitely

worth it.

Hit Grant’s Farm and the Magic House today.  Exhausted now from the car ride, but it was a very fun day! 🙂

back of my left leg hurts quite a bit today. Earlier today it was up in upper leg. Now it’s mostly moved towards back of calf. Not sure if it’s too much sugar and caffeine, not stretching the last couple of days much or what, but it’s not fun times. Probably take it easy on the working out a bit to heal up so we can start it all over again.

Bought a new kite last night at Dollar General. This one is the surfer dude… Last one we bought there was the shark. Merlin and the Dragon are still in the Tree at the park. I keep buying Katrina new kites to make up for that loss…
