Summer, where are you?

Summer simply won't come to Chicago. There are a few days here and there, but no certainty that if you missed one of those days, there will be another one. It will be okay, it is not a serious problem, but after a long winter, summers help my mood. Summers this time around at least are also encouraging me to be more active and exercise more. I feel better for sure and it gives me a sense of control. Whenever I can now, I try and attend multiple classes. There is always something that comes up on certain days and so I'd rather do as much as I can when I have the time.

Still gyms can be intimidating and it has taken me a minute to get comfortable with all the barbells, kettlebells, basus, weights and resistance bands. I am quite amazed at how versatile resistance bands are and how many different kinds of moves they allow for. I'm also non-stop surprised by how rusty my joints are, it makes little to no sense. I find that Myfitnesspal is an app that works for me to track what I am eating. It usually syncs with the Fitbit to credit you calories for your steps and I like that. Recently thought it has been glitchy to the point of being non-functional and where is the fun in that. Completing 10,000 steps is a surefire way to have a vibrating party on my wrist but I would also like calories credited please.

At the end of the day I have probably exercised more in 2019 than I have exercised in at least the last 15 years.
