Thursday Kilometer

Did my usual 1.000 m (meters) yesterday in the pool. I had looked to see if another day would work better with Tuesday as a gym day, but Thursday is the easiest day for swimming after work.

Gym 1 Calender Week 3

Went to the gym yesterday to do my new to me training. So far so good not too sore. Met Tanja which was nice.

Walking with a little bit of running

On Saturday I walked in the afternoon while the weather was holding: 6,77km according to my Runtastic App. I had intended to run more than I did, but after such a long pause it was good to get started at all. I will run each weekend as that seems to be the only daylight if I do not bring my running stuff to work and that feels weird at this moment in time.

Moving again

For the last couple of months my movement was very little. Now I have the will back and I have already taken some action. Done an introductory training at a new gym as my old one no longer participates in the health program that my employer sponsors. Gone swimming yesterday. The goal for the moment is to do my strength training at least once a week and go swimming on Thursdays. Anything above that is right now optional. I do not want to set up to many action points to start so that I can at least do these consistently. Then once these are "automatic" I can add a second session or Yoga or running to the routine.

Foodwise my goal for the moment is to not drink coke and have an apple every morning. Babysteps. I would like to cook more from my recipe books and to cook more soup, but not sure how to make those good goals yet.

Sunday Morning

Before the rain we went out to enjoy the frost on the leaves:

MyGuy the clockmaker

Last weekend someone had a good time making his own watch.

Orange Cape

Finished a while ago.

Lovely Flowers away from home

We went away for the weekend and MyGuy had them put this lovely bouquet in our room.

Leaf Wall

Saturday's photo session yielded some pics for Ravelry, but also this one.

A little flower from earlier this year

Fog in the Vineyard

Fog season has started for us, but we went out and had fun anyway.

Dahlia

Just another Dahlia, because I love the photos my guy takes.

Working on my Star Ramble

Badenweiler looking to the Vogese

We had a good weekend away and could see the mountains in France.

Pre-Anniversary Bouquet

As we plan on being away on our Anniversary I bought some flowers for the week before for us to enjoy. We had sunflowers in our wedding, so this is a reminder of the day for us.

Weekend Recap

It seems right now I only run about 6 km each weekend and not in between. For the moment I am okay with this though I would love to add one more run during the week. But for the moment stabilizing the one run a week is more important. Especially since Tai Chi starts up again this week and the indoor pool has opened again, so my Thursday swim can restart too.

I knit quite a bit on one of my current shawls. With the weather turning towards fall shawls are calling to me. I did not finish it, but hopefully this week will see me to the end of the Star Ramble.

With the cooler air food preferences change and we had Spätzle with mushrooms and maroni and I see pumpkin in our near future. Yam!

Sunflowers

Early morning pictures of the sunflower field near our home.

Weekend

We went for a spontaneous trip to Heitersheim this week-end. On Saturday we went to the Kurpark in Bad Krozingen and MyGuy took some wonderful pictures of the dahlias while I sat and knitted on my latest shawl. I finally finished darning in the ends on my Greyhound on Sunday. Now it needs a bath and a stretch.

Shawls

I finished my newest shawlette and as fall is coming it is a good thing that my starteritis is concentrating on shawls and shawlettes at the moment. Photo to follow, but I am pleased especially as I used most of a ball of old stash Wollmeise that was really colorful.

Sunday Run Recap

6.22 km walking and jogging. That is fine. It was quite humid for us, so my head felt like it would explode at the end. I probably did not drink enough, so that needs improvement for the next weekend.

And I need to figure out when I can do a second run in the week. MyGuy still needs transportation after his eye surgery, but that is not a real reason, just an excuse.

Looking forward to the 20th when Qi Gong will start again, however need to dig out my book and start practicing again. That will be Tuesday evening's activity for the next months.
