Me, lugging a 55lb dumbbell onto my lap thinking maybe a barbell is the better alternative…

Hope you are feeling better and energy is at 100%!

I conveniently forgot to bring one to my parents… 😁

Indeed it was!

I’m getting ready to head that way. Nice to know what I have to look forward to! 😘

Leg day was just what my body needed today! Got to my folks on Sunday for my dad’s pacemaker surgery yesterday. We were at the hospital most of the day and early evening, and then back home making dinner and getting him settled in. Will be here all week caring for him because my mom has dementia. He is her caretaker and she can’t process his inability right now to do things. So I’m here u til he gains back his independence and is released to drive. They are my motivation to continue my health journey to be as strong as I possibly can when I enter the last quarter of my life should the Lord keep me here that long. They are 86 and 87 and proof that with medical technology we can live a long time. But I want to ensure my quality of life is as great as it possibly can be. Their community gym is my happy place and I got to use heavier weights that I don’t have at home. Those duck lunges got my heat rate up to 150 so slinging weight can get it up there for sure! Thanks for all you put in to these sessions Jenny Fisher! They are game changers, life savers, and sanity defenders!

Has Nate ever been told he resembles Billy Graham?! He could be his son!

My favorite ice cream flavor! 💚

FUUUUUGGGG!!! Anyone else grateful today’s HIIT was only 30 minutes?? 😅 Wowza - few times I just wanted to go into prayer pose and cry, but I kept telling myself that it’s only 30 minutes and 30 second intervals. Done and off to make the most of the rest of this day! Happy weekend and loved the indulgence discussion Jenny Fisher Wherever the devil is, grace abounds all the more. Such a valuable and big lesson for us to learn, and for me a daily effort to improve my practice in that regard.

What a week, especially being away from home! I have learned over and over and over that one week truly does not impact consistent training and an overall clean diet. My guess is when you are fully recovered, you will come back feeling energized and will kill your sessions. Grace is so hard to give to ourselves! But such a great discipline to develop. 🫶🏻🫶🏻
