New workout wear!

 And I needed new stuff to workout in like I need to walk on flaming Lego's but who cares.  I always feel better in new stuff and like a kid with new shoes that light up when they run, I'm sure I workout harder in new stuff 😂

Anyway, here's the first order that should be here in a day or two.

The Onyx pants are for my middle daughter Neeise.  She wanted to try this brand, Constantly Varried Gear out and I splurged on her a little bit.  The rest, all mine!

Then today, a surprise drop.

I wanted a matching bra, but by the time I got to the site, they were sold out already.

I'm going down a size in the shorts.  Mine that are size large still fit but if I lose much more inch wise in my belly they won't fit, which isn't a bad thing when you need to lose weight.

Not much else going on.  Cool, rainy and dreary today.  Reminds me more of a fall day rather than a spring day.  I guess I can say its not snowing so there is that LOL

So I found this bullet journal!

 So I was going through my planner supplies, and I have QUITE a stock of planner stuff, and I found this

Its from Archer and Oliver.  Had it for a while.  Better get it used. So I started to use it

I made this

And yes, I put my measurements in, but until I get some big changes, you guys don't get to see them lol

And then a daily log in cause well, I like checking in daily.

Yes, my handwriting is horrid, but its always been not great and I'm to GenX to give a crap about it at this point in my life. 

But this is what I'm tracking right now.   I need to get better at tracking my macros.  I'm um, only doing a full day about once a week 😬  I'll get back to tracking 5-6 days a week

And yes, I try to weight myself several times a week  I find it better for me to keep on top of what that dang thing says.  Cause if my "day to weight" happens to be say after a day I've eaten more salt, I'm going to look like I'm up in weight, but if I weight 6 days a week and see I'm up one day, but down 4 days and steady one day that means I'm down for the week as a whole.

I'm also thinking I'm going to go back to lifting on my own rather than doing STS.  I just don't think STS will get me to the goals I want to hit this year.  I want to deadlift 300lbs at least this year and doing STS will not get me there.  But lifting heavy on my own will.   I really want to see how much muscle I can put on, and how strong I can really get.   While its never to late, its better to get after it in my early 50s rather than wait till I'm in my 70s, right?

I also am going to get my YouTube channel back up and going again.   I need to keep my videos a little shorter cause well, my internet SUCKS and a 10 min video will take 6 hours to upload, but I could do a 6-7 min video and it might upload in 4 hours.  And maybe someday the company that put up an internet tower literally just off my property, will turn it on, and I can switch to it and I'd have better internet. Seems like its been forever since I watched them put it up. I mean, I can see it from my kitchen window. I watched it be put up  It just needs to get turned on and see if I can sign up for new, faster internet.

Springtime Colds, Planner Peace and a Change of Plans

 So, my precious, wonderful granddaughters both decided to share their colds with me.   I mean, who knew when a 2 year old sneezes full on in your face, she was just sharing.  Sharing is caring, right?  😬

So I've not been sleeping cause well, I can't breath LOL.  I mean my nose is so stuffed up.  And I cough up so much crud after I lay down for a while.  UGH.   I'm getting over it, FINALLY but its been a go for a few days.   I could easy not do this for a couple years and be quite happy.

So I've been not happy with my fitness planner for a while.  I just have trouble finding planner peace with my fitness planner. I've gone through so many, and I have a feeling for me, I will not actually find true planner peace with a fitness planner.  I might just flip flop around between a few every so often when I feel like it

And right now, I'm feeling like making a bullet journal for fitness.  For now, that is.

I got these 2 from Notebook Therapy and I'm going to make one into my fitness planner

This one 

And this is what the edge of it looks like

I mean, this is so pretty!

I also got this one

And the edge

Its not quite as pretty but I still like it, even if the silver doesn't show up as much,

One of these 2 is going to be my fitness bullet journal, and I better pick quick cause I'm going to be making it tonight and tomorrow.

Now, I know I posted that I was going to restart STS , but being sick this week it had me thinking.  I'm not sure I'm ready for STS right now.   I think I need to start with something a little um, easier LOL.  Like maybe Cathe's Lite , or maybe her Perfect 30 or Band series she put out the last couple years.  I mean, I've been rather lazy for a while now, and I'm not some 25 year old anymore.  I don't recover quite as fast as I use to.   I hate to have to admit it, but well, the truth is out there. I do think if I got myself to a certain level of fitness and get my eating under control, I'd probably notice I'd recover quicker and better.  And maybe sleep better too. 

So I think I'll take a step back from intensity, and take 6 weeks or so to break myself in to regular workouts.  And I want to get back on my bike again.   If I did 2 weight style workouts, 1 spin and 1 treadmill walk/run, and actually keep in my calorie range, I know I'd lose inches.

Now I just need to do it.  Cause plans are worthless if you don't actually implement them.
