Things are shaping up within all that I am doing. There are times in which I would be online writing four hours where as now I just enjoy reading some and not trying to keep up with it all. For me that shows me a very good sign of what I have been doing. One example is that I will post some pictures and to reply to each and everyone takes time and I don't think within that same process as the meaning within it what it is. ( I suppose I make mention as it really is hard to reply when one places on pics - but I guess I have covered that as there are time I will get home and look to relax and perhaps it's worth mentioning. )
As of yesterday, I have started back at the gym. I have been walking and then running within below zero temperatures but thus far it's paid off. Yesterday there were a few things I could do to calibrate where I was physically. I can't say I am surprised but I can do 40 pull ups - where as I used to do three sets of 125. With sit ups I work on this inclined sit up bench and to pull of 20 was something and here is one where just a little while ago I was doing 3 sets of 100. And then the last but not the least is within cardio. I got on this one old style treadmill which is a combination of a mountain climber as well as a treadmill - it's hard to explain. But I went on it and here as well I could with ease do 3 sets of 30 minutes and keep my heart rate at 180 beats per second. That shall take some time. We shall see how it all goes as well.
So for right now it's one day on - one day off. Then there is that meditative portion and there is the old expression of, "Where there is a will there is a way". I don't would rather amend it with a simple quote of, " The way is within ones option ".
The manner that I see this areas is one of vision, and as well motivation. And there was a time I did this before and I have a good idea of the timing. Right now I am right within the coldest time of Mother Nature. But within a small portion of time -------------spring shall be within our steps. And al thought I have never gambled within my life - this is where if you do it correctly and within a methodology - it's kind of like pulling the handle of a gambling machine and yet this is no risk but there is a time when all do line up and the winnings of what one does is reinforced after the silence within the training.
So it's been busy yet it's all coming along just fine - and I know this ended up being a rather long write however I thought I place it on within this morning. So all things area going well and weather wise - ironically we have a warm spell and this seems to be a new year that within the weather it shall be extreme within all areas of the world, bring it on as I love the warmer climates - it's much better than long johns! I bet you don't know what this picture above is or maybe you do?
Hi Jack and good morning. It sounds like you are very determined to get back your strength. Good for you! I wish that I had your determination when it comes to exercise. Keep up the good work, and keep the faith. Hugs...Darbie
ReplyDelete.morning! keep going one step at a time :)
ReplyDeleteis the pic .. a stepping ..board..to help regain Balance?..[hugs]
Hi Darbs yeah I am and I shall. So this morning here I am just having breakfast and looking at the weather and then I have two appointments tomorrow - so we may squeeze in something here today.
ReplyDeleteYeah it is, I have always used it but Carol it is.
ReplyDeleteKeeping on track of your goals and keeping the faith - can't go wrong there. Do the best you can.
ReplyDeleteI thought that was a picture of a bench, but a closer look shows its too close to the ground for that. Wow you could do step exercises with two or three buddies with that. I'm a warm weather person too. But, I appreciate the positives of the cold weather season.
Yeah here I am not much for this weather. And one has to shovel, and all that stuff and I find right now Susan that I am working entirely within what I had set up. I find that there I have been pushing it as I am up early and then out the door and I can't do all things all at once but I can CHOOSE a few and bring them to there best. As I shall. As well, a great morning to ya!
ReplyDeletesooo glad to hear your are in the motion and enjoying your physical activity. It's amazing what one thing can do to the body, but you can and will be back to where you once were...baby steps! Great to have goals and enjoy every step of progress! :)
ReplyDeleteAre you feeling ok? Your heart can not beat at 180 beats per second! I think you mean per minute.....unless your a buzzing bee. That photo looks like something to stand on to try to keep your balance. We do balancing things at exercise class. Balance is something you can regain if you keep practicing, same with muscle tone. Good to know you are re-chiseling.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what the picture is but having grandchildren the funniest thing comes to mind..perhaps it is a giagantic Sit & Spin lol . Sunny here today and cold. I haven't done much outside except to walk to the mail box and to the car & drive to the library. Congrats on your progress and determination . Sounds like you are doing great!
ReplyDeleteHave a good afternoon
It is gratifying to see oneself within progress. Certainly so.
ReplyDeleteI was there an in that shape and yes for a duration it can as long as one works into it and not for a prolonged period. And Faye yes I am as and the cadence within it has been one that has been with regards to what is appropriate..........but you just do it. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a stepping board Cheryl, many use it after or before a workout with or without a small amount of weight to just align the body and all in all that is what that image is. So that is what the image is and as well just imagine one that does squats on a balancing ball. It's a mind and body things but shall write up on in good time. And within good cadence. There is the thought of I can't and then there is the thought of I can - big difference there with this or with anything.
ReplyDeleteYou stand on the thing pictured right? And balance on it? Glad to hear of your exercise regimen. You are very disciplined! Spring will be here soon and then we can all enjoy the out of doors much more thoroughly.
ReplyDeleteHello Jack. So nice to hear your coming along so well. The gym is the perfect place for you to be. I've been trying to get motivated again, and getting my butt back down there, but it's not working too well. I always seem to find excuses. I'm so proud of you for giving it your all, and the time your putting into bettering yourself. The gym is a great place to let your mind wander as you breathe out all that negative energy, and regain new strength. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeletethat's great, one step at a time Jack.
ReplyDeletetake care
Damn Jack I thought you were posting a picture of a cup of coffee to good to miss out on.
ReplyDeleteNow the gym sounds like a great idea taking it easy and working back up is best way to approach the situation for sure.
I do agree though sometimes one can use up too much time trying to reply to all their own post and then make time afterward to visit and catch up on friends post sometimes it happens that way and other times it's nice to take the break and post none for a few days and share in what everyone else has to offer :-)
play it safe and enjoy Jack
I did and I shall....within a month I believe I shall and I have always done it after training, right now within all things it's my main mission.
ReplyDeleteThanks Theresa, it's some time and it's not all something of ease but I could go one route or I could focus on this and leverage it into other areas. This is the areas in which I choose. So I am rendering it all and I do read others writes when I arrive home here but it really is a early to bed and early to rise. Come spring it shall be a something that I really have placed as a main directive within things and within dynamics with health and if I may say - man you certainly can stand proud with you son. I could write more but I do mean that.
ReplyDeleteI never step...
ReplyDeleteNo this is an authentic blog Ken and don't right much now other than what I am doing and what I believe in. But really for me as with many
ReplyDeletethere are no boundaries....yet I abide by my choices in what I do. I don't write as much as I did before, I am reading much more as I am not
really that into myself --- maybe before within the dynamics of a blog I was - but I enjoy the writes Ken and there are some great ones that are
not all based on selfishness - they are seemingly more interesting and people are not trying to be reporters for reporters if you know what
I mean....
Enjoy - I literally am enjoying the days of efforts that will render what I choose and desire...(shhhh aside of this year of weather) :)
yes Jack I actually do know where you are coming from and true enough it is good to be able to share something different new ideas and base our lives upon our own choices too. peace
ReplyDeleteOk here is one Ken
ReplyDeleteAre we a reliant society when we look for answers or post things with our inner most thoughts by way o a blog?
Is it a narssastic thing or not? Those are my two questiond before I head off but I do know what you mean. First what do you
think within these two questions?
in reasoning with begin reliant society, that is to me very broad statement for we all look for answer in one way or another, I consider the social net to be more a place of building friends we would not normally have the blessing of meeting in pre-net times. to share with other about you and learn about them helps us become greater Friends and breaks down the cultural barriers between countries which may one day show great paths forward towards world peace also. I know it's a lot to take in.
ReplyDeleteas for the second questions I do not know what narcissistic is?
I think your question is a fair one considering we all seek to understand the world and the people we share life with better each day
Which all in all is meaning you wish to make a better place for yourself and for all. We all do as we do know Ken very well what a the traits of narcissism are. It is a platform from which to build friends in a manner of just reading some are insistent and some are ordinarily consistent. No to people are alike.
ReplyDeleteah so you it it's just like using social net working with out actually talking like via messenger or on the mebo we have. personally just reading and passing comments on blogs yes will provide a level of friendship but it doesn't go far enough to building a true friendship if you understand what I mean.
ReplyDeleteBut still in all there is nothing more worthwhile in the world then having friends no matter where your friend is living.
Who indicated otherwise Ken?
ReplyDeleteno one Jack I was just adding a nice thought
ReplyDeleteSee - (smiling)
ReplyDeleteI thought something by a manner of reading where is if I heard you
I would understand you much better. It's all good and today is my day off.
All the best to you Ken.
