Marsia's Diary

Wow, thanks LaMa! I feel that way about all of you guys, too. I can't imagine I would be sticking to this if it weren't for all of your guidance and company doing this. I think we make a really good supportive group!
 
"I love all of that. You´re such a positive influence here!"
:iagree: with LaMa. You are!
"I think we make a really good, supportive group!"
I think so too. We are all quite different but have so much in common. I think it is really important to lift one another up & not put anyone down & that is what we do, xoxo Cate
 
Ditto to all the above ladies . I have to say when I log in and read everyone's updates I get such a lift .
Marsia I like your thoughts about dealing with emotions . And that's great about the jeans to be an incentive. I'm a little like that as I come into the winter as I don't want to bulging in my skirts this winter . I pot on jeans yesterday that I hadn't worn all summer . Have to say they were really comfy so the exercise is Toning me up for sure .
We got this .

You know Marsia you could easily blog about your life and you would end up with huge followers lol .
 
My mom fell down and got a black eye and bumped her head the other day. We checked for symptoms of concussion, but she seems fine. But this got us to renew her gym membership at this great gym with a "fall-proof" class and nice salt water pool and lots of nice classes. I joined too, for free with her. So just got back from a 30 minute tread mill run and about 15 minutes on a Curves circuit. Feels really good!

Got really busy with work, but will set aside time to read everyone's diaries tomorrow and catch up. Hope everyone is doing well!

Yay for toning and jeans fitting nicely! I bet by winter we won't have to worry about bulgy skirts, because we are going to be much less bulgy!!!

Thanks for the really nice compliment about blogging. I would love to have the time to write more and to take writing classes!! Words are so magic in the right hands!

Thanks Cate! And Yay us!
 
I´m sorry your mom hurt herself but getting more active is a great response and getting you a free membership sounds like the perfect bonus!
 
Your poor Mum, but gym membership sounds like a great idea & lovely that this will be something else you share with her xo
 
Yay to the gym membership. Sounds really good . Sorry about the fall though for your mum . It knocks the stuffing out of them a bit .

Glad we all seem positive again
 
It's such a nice gym because there are people of all ages there, from octogenarians to young people, and everyone just looks happy that every one around them is exercising and being healthy together. I did my Curves circuit (resistance weight machines) in the same room with serious weight lifters, and they smiled and didn't look at me like I am some old bat who isn't serious like they are. The last gym I was part of was uncomfortable like that, but this one feels like a nice community!

Now I just have to get my mom to try the balance class instead of just using the pool because she is sooo out of shape and unbalanced, I think it is a little intimidating for her. I am going to insist on her trying the balance class with me with her on Friday and pray that she just goes along with me insisting. Wish me luck!!
 
Good luck, Marsia. Your Mum should think it's nice that you want her to go to the class with you. Maybe put it to her that way xo
 
Got back from running on the treadmill at the gym and am waddling around with sore legs. I think I overdid it a bit, so maybe will wait a day to go in again if I am this sore in the morning. But I did run for the first 20 minutes on the machine, so I am not in horrible shape!
 
Going to the class together the first (couple of?) times will probably help your mom over her nervousness. It´s hard to get into a new space when you´re unsure about your abilities already. If the people at the gym are as nice as you make them out to be she´ll enjoy it and be ok with going alone soon enough.

Running ‍♂️ that’s fantastic and you will see serious weight loss I bet . I not a great runner at all . Good to hear the gym is working well and you are right have a rest day if your muscles are sore .
Love hearing all the news x
 
Thanks Petal and LaMa!! I took yesterday off, and can walk without pain today, so I'll take my mom so she can swim and I can run today. I took your advice LaMa and talked to my mom about how I would go with her until she gets used to the class, and told her she doesn't even have to stay for the whole thing, and I will help with it. So she agreed to go! Yay!!

Excellent news, Marsia. I know I feel better with moral support when I try anything new. I'm glad you are not in pain today. Maybe a swim would help you too. I used to love aqua aerobics. Doing exercises in the pool is so good! I think I'll go along with your Mum in spirit.

You are lucky to have both a gym and your mum . Do what you both can in it and overall just have fun .
Good to have a rest day when the muscles need it . My fitness app is pushing me right now .i keep getting messages to do this and that . It's keeping me moving but I think I will need a rest day soon . Perhaps today as I am busy I will be gentle on self .
 
Well, I didn't get my mom to swim yet, but she went to the balance class and really liked it. So I think we will get good use out of the gym. I'll go with her to this class another time and then do my own thing at the gym. I haven't lost weight for the last few weeks, but I have gotten skinnier looking. So it feels good to exercise and to wear pants I haven't been able to fit into for at least a year.

I keep getting really busy and not keeping up with the diaries, but hope every one is doing great!
