Signs Everywhere

After sharing the details of the Costa Rica Wellness Retreat I decided to use this experience to also launch Fit Indy Parties.  I'll be bringing fitness parties to the Indianapolis metro area.  What better way to kick off this venture than a HUGE party in Costa Rica!

I keep starting to write this post but never finish and publish it. I think I'm bored just talking about my week. Is there anything else that you'd like to see from me each week?

JUNE 12 I did Kelly Coffey-Meyer's MUSCLE UP 2B FIT Legs & Arms workout.

JUNE 13 I had a yoga session with Adriene.  I read chapters 10 & 11 during lunch.

JUNE 14 I did the Back, Chest, & Shoulders workout. I weighed in up another 3 lbs. I expected to be up with 3 nights in a row not cooking dinner but not that much.

JUNE 15 I did the 21 Day Fix Total Body Cardio workout, expecting to not be able to walk because of the showers in the forecast all day.  Turns out it was still bright and sunny so I could've walked.  Go figure!

JUNE 16 I did Pilates.

JUNE 17 I worked my legs and arms.

JUNE 18 I did the shoulders, arms, and abs premix.

SUNDAY we had a squirrel visit the window bird feeder. Tiger of course spotted it first. She went nuts behind my head so I turned around to see what she was doing. I laughed about it, bringing Austin out from the computer room. The three of us were entertained for quite a while!

As everyone knows Monday was the longest day. The morning I had another yoga session before facing the heat.  I walked during lunch for the Alzheimer's Association's campaign. I got turned around trying to avoid road construction, resulting in being out longer than planned.

After I got back I called NETA to order the test only option for the Wellness Coach Certification exam. I'd planned on taking the test by the end of the month but we have our audit next week at work. So my goal is pushed out a couple of weeks...no big deal.

TUESDAY I worked my back, chest, and shoulders. At Weight Watchers I weighed in down but still above my window.

YESTERDAY I worked my legs and arms.

TODAY I did Pilates.

Headache Be Gone!

Last week I was suffering from a triple headache - menstrual, sinus, and tension.  Rotating doses of acetaminophen, ibuprofen, and zolmitriptan would mute the pain for a little bit, leaving the pressure.  Then it'd all start over again.  I went to work but nowhere else.  I posted in social media and worked on some other things but couldn't bring myself to write a blog post.  So there's quite a bit to cover today.

Workouts

APRIL 7 I did Jillian Michaels' Body Revolution Workout 11.

APRIL 8 I did Pilates Fix.

APRIL 9 I wrapped up Body Revolution with Workout 12.  Just the little bit I did of this program made me tired of Jillian so I won't be doing her workouts for a while.

APRIL 11 I started the 21 Day Fix again, just the workouts.  I woke up with a headache but pushed through Total Body Cardio as much as I could.

APRIL 12 the headaches continued but I did my best with Upper Fix.

APRIL 13 I decided to take another rest day to see if it would help with the headaches.

THURSDAY the rest seemed to have worked a little bit as the pain was reduced so I went ahead and did Lower Fix.

FRIDAY I did Pilates Fix again..  I think this will be my Friday workout of choice.

SATURDAY I did Dirty 30 in the morning and started cleaning out my garden in the afternoon.  It took about an hour to rake it all and weed the east side.

SUNDAY it took about 1.5 hours to weed the west side of the garden.

MONDAY I did Cardio Fix.

YESTERDAY I did Upper Fix.

TODAY I needed a Yoga Fix.

Upcoming Activities

Tomorrow night's when I complete the CPR certification at the YMCA.

On June 20, I'm participating in The Longest Day, an event to honor the strength, passion and endurance of those facing Alzheimer's disease, such as my Grandma Flemmings. From sunrise to sunset, my team (can join from anywhere) will walk to raise awareness and funds for the care, support and research efforts of the Alzheimer's Association.  You too can help by either joining my Walking 4 Wellness team or making a donation.

On October 8, I'm walking The Great Pumpkin Run (looks to be my only race this year).  Austin won't be trick-or-treating anymore but I still want to dress up in a costume.  I want to use this race as my opportunity to wear a costume but have no idea what I want to wear.  Any suggestions are welcome!  Should you be in the area and want to join me at this 5K race you can save $5 with this code LAWRTW5K.

Coaching Services

This is one thing I was able to work on last week - starting to develop my 1:1 Wellness Coaching services.  Since I already have the Brand New Me community on Facebook I went ahead and kept the same name for the coaching programs.  I hope to have everything finalized in the next month or so but here's what I came up with so far.

Not too many details will be listed as the guts will depend upon the individual client's goals.  The Facebook community will continue to be a part of my services as the free group support system.  I wish I could afford done for you programs to use as my foundation such as what Rachel Feldman or Kathleen LeGrys offers. I can't wait to help more people find their healthy paths!
