Well, I made it 6 whole days, but then failed yesterday (Sunday) because I didn’t do a second workout. I should have, but I got lazy, and also BFF said she might want to do it and I thought it would be more fun if we ended together….but then she never committed and I kind of screwed myself, hah.

What I’ve learned from this 6 day effort is you really, really, have to not procrastinate on the workouts. This is really, really difficult for me, because if procrastination was a paid gig I’d be richer than Jeff Bezos. But! This is a mental toughness challenge after all, so we’re going for try #3, ending October 15th. This time I’m determined to make it stick!

In other news, I’m down to just 2 lbs over the weight I was when I went to Hawaii in 2016. That’s cool, but I feel somehow “fatter” at this weight than I was then. I think it’s the lack of weight lifting. Technically my gym is open but the adherence to mask usage is dicey at best. They are now saying it’s possible to get Covid-19 twice and I can’t be sure I even had it the first time (could have been the flu, did not get tested for either when I was sick in February.) And because I belong to a big, commercial, popular gym, there’s no real option to go when it’s empty. There’s pretty much always people in the weight area. Hell I’ve gone to the pool an hour before they close (10pm) and had to wait for a lane.

I’ll have to figure something out. I miss my biceps. 😦 But for now, time to get in workout 1!
