Project "Build a Booty" will be starting soon

 After a summer of wishy washy workouts, not being able to decide what I want to do, what I want to accomplish as far as fitness goes, and TBH, just sitting around and reading to much (is there such a thing???)  I've finally decided what I want to try and do with myself.

I want to have a butt.

Oh, I physically have one, I mean, it's hard to not have one, but I've been a founding member of the Flat Booty Squad for decades now.  Back in my CrossFit days in the early 2010s, I was starting to build a little bit of a round booty.  But then cause I changed jobs and it was much harder to get to CrossFit, I quit going and started working out at home more, and it didn't get any rounder or nicer.

And then these last 4 years I've slacked WAY off and now, that little bit I had went on vacation.  South.   And I'm sick of it.  

I've been watching a lot of videos, reading some programs, and on some fitness groups dedicated to growing your glutes, and I'm trying to come up with a program that works for me, and what equipment I have in my home gym.  I have quite a bit of equipment so I can do quite a bit.  I've been thinking I'll lift weights 4 days a week, 2 days for lower body both with heavy emphasis on glutes and hamstrings, and 2 days for upper body and abs.  

Every 6 weeks or so, I'll take a week to do other types of workouts, like my DVDs and YouTube workouts cause I have quite a few of them, and I still want to do them from time to time  So if I can schedule a week to do them every 6 weeks while taking a mini break from lifting heavy that's a good thing.  

I'm also doing a challenge in Sept with a group of ladies on Facebook, all of us are 50 and older.  It's a walking challenge.  I'm going to walk a minimum of 15 min everyday in Sept.  Working up to more, but 15 min minimum.  I'd like to start walking outside with my fat beagle Odin, but it's gonna have to cool off a bit for us to go out and do that.  But it looks like maybe in Sept the temps will go down a bit and I could start walking out with Odin a couple days a week.  Do us both good to get some extra steps in.   He needs to lose weight himself just like I do.

So for the rest of the year I'll be like this

Well that sucked

 So I went on antibiotics for about 10 days due to an infected cat bite.  My own fault for getting bit.  Anyway, I had a 10 day course of Ba...
