#Gym Stats!

It was another push day and I came through just fine, no matter how it felt at certain moments. Working out has taught me how often I let how I feel at a current moment control that moment.

Between that and mindfulness, I’ve learned that I can step back and take stock independent of how I feel.

The result is progress on my goals. There’s a saying stenciled on the wall of this gym here. “The key to success is consistency to purpose.”

@NiveusLepus You inspire me! 129 minutes - wow! Is that daily or do you have off/on days?❤️💪❤️

@JGSchaeffer Six days a week. I take Sundays off.

I also do a half hour of warm up in the morning, just get going calisthenics. 3 minutes of plank, 100 leg lifts, things like that.

I spent a long time neglecting the health of this body, but over the last ten years, I’ve come to take better care of it.

I’m a long distance thru hiker, and I get so much from the work, even if some days its hard.

@NiveusLepus @JGSchaeffer Wow! That's awesome!

@TrueBloodNet @NiveusLepus Wow. Yes that is amazing. I’m working towards consistency and making exercise the centre of my gravity again. It’s not easy after decades of intense computer-focused work at all hours. I’m 54 now. Are you in your 50s too?

@JGSchaeffer @TrueBloodNet I am 42, 43 in January.

@NiveusLepus @TrueBloodNet Keep going! As you keep it up during perimenopause phase, you will be so much the healthier for it! I’m in Crone Era now (freedom came and I graduated to post-menopause this past February) so my body has relearning to do for sure. But I’m doing my bit!

@JGSchaeffer @NiveusLepus Oh I'm WAY past perimenopaus.. can you be past post menopause? :)

I agree though, the only path is forward!
