Okay, so I basically have a Y membership on hold. I have had so many doctor appointments that I haven’t been able to do much else. Everything has been neglected, including the Y.
I don’t know how to get started, but I need those water classes!

I just signed up for water aerobics and the Tai Chi class they call EnerChi at the Y. I had to buy a new bathing suit because the one I have doesn’t fit properly. With my health insurance, I get YMCA membership free. Are you on disability? If so, do you have a Medicare Advantage Plan? They usually come with either silver and fit, or silver sneakers, even if you’re under 65. With those, you get a list of gyms you can go to for free. It’s great.

I do have SSDI, but I declined medical and pharmaceutical coverage as I get it through hubby. I have an approved application at the Y; I just have to go down there. I plan to start with water and work my way to yoga. I bought a new suit too, plus a gym bag and lock for a locker. I’m ready; I just have to go.

I think I will. I hope you like your classes, too. Tai chi is very interesting. I like martial arts but can’t participate. Pool exercises are fine, even if I don’t trust the water.

Right now, I’m too out of shape to do most martial arts. But tai chi is slower so I’m hoping I can do it.

Damn, your steps are impressive. I try to do a 30 min walk a couple times a week, but only get like 3.5k steps out of it.

I’ve still been lifting consistently and eating at least 100g protein per day. Hoping the dedication pays off.

Before lunch and 30 minute leg workout done with the weights. I hate leg day but feel better for getting it done. I’m up to 11,000 steps and been doing about 17,500 a day for a week which is good but my active, heart raising minutes have been down.
It’s raining again so should have got out early for a run but I’ll get there.
