Thoughts Looking Back
I felt like I lost control of my workout plans due to a lot of "stuff" in October - stupid knee, doctors appts, tile work, etc. Blah!
Looking Forward
New month, new mindset - I'm regaining control. Primary focus is knee rehab, but I'm also going to be serious about strength work and my general well-being.
Began the day with an early morning trip to the fitness center at work. It was EMPTY so I was Queen of the Gym today. I worked upper body & core, did the PT stuff for my knee, and finished off with a 3 sets of push-ups (12, 8, 5) like a woman on a mission. Ha!
October looks like a good month even in the midst of all the other stuff.
ReplyDeleteI know Nov. will have higher numbers though. ;)
The push-ups just keep getting easier don't they? You are rockin' it!
Hi Lisa,
ReplyDeleteI just want to say good job. The picture of you alone in the gym clearly shows you are discipline and serious in getting fit :)
Rock on Gym Queen. And October was pretty dang good for a hobbling, one-kneed Queen.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure November will give you the fresh start you need!
ReplyDeleteA great November start! Way to let go of the past and concentrate on the present.
ReplyDeleteI love being queen of the gym! You totally accomplished a ton in October, despite all the setbacks. Nice work!
ReplyDeleteYou go girl! November is yours for the takin'
ReplyDeleteYou ran 50miles even with knee problems, that is impressive! Great start to November!
ReplyDeleteGreat pic-you are queen of the gym!
ReplyDeleteWoohoo - a new month of great things, and a great picture of you!
ReplyDeleteI like the fitness center at your work. You motivate me girl...I will get going with those pushups!!
here's to November!!
ReplyDeleteOK, first of all, you look so freaking hardcore AND adorable in that picture!! The pink tank makes you truly the Queen of the Gym!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you are getting your PT done so you can heal. Wise decision. Plus you are keeping up with strength training. Thank you for the reminder and inspiration. I have got to get back to it.
You have also inspired me to post my October totals. Let's just say, they will make you feel a lot better. *sigh*
Look at you! Love the Gym Shot! LOL! Now that's something I need to do :P
ReplyDeleteAll hail Queen of the Gym!
ReplyDeleteWow, I've never seem a gym so empty! And I can see the bicep clearly on the arm holding the phone. Nice arms!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your new November goals. There have been a couple months for me this year where things didn't go the way I'd hoped (bike crash, hammy injury). Good to move on.
BTW, I gave you an "award" on my post today!
ReplyDeleteGeneral well-being is awesome! You go girl!
ReplyDeleteYou are the Queen of smiles!
ReplyDeleteWhere is your tiara? Great photo, you look awesome.
ReplyDeleteThe october stats looked good despite all the other stuff. November is your month.
All hail Queen of the Gym!!! October looked pretty good to me, despite knee issues. Here's to a fab November! :)
ReplyDeleteI love an empty gym. November is a new month! Although, October didn't look that bad either!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a good month despite the knee injury. And I love it when I'm the only one at the gym! No sharing!
ReplyDeleteI think you should have a tiara too! Everyone else must have still been in a Halloween sugar coma while you were in there getting a jump on November. Yay you!
ReplyDeleteYou look serious in that photo. Whenever I take a photo in a mirror, the flash mostly obliterates it. I'll have to graduate from film camera to cellphone camera someday.
ReplyDeleteOh yea, lookin good girl!! next time, head to the bathroom for that self photo!! LOL!! I think that's a great month coming off your issues!! Way to go!!! and thanks so so so much for your support on this Iron journey. It really meant a lot to me knowing you are out there in blogo land :-)
ReplyDeleteYou looking good girlie!!!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great plan!
ReplyDeleteThat's still a great month. Good job!
ReplyDeleteWay to go Queenie. Great pic.
