September 2026 Accountability Buddy

It was another rough month for me over here, but I will be accountable. There was Labor Day and a conference in Philly and...80% just didn't happen. 

****************
Tuesday, September 1
45-minute body blast class at the community center after work - It was like a million degrees and 95% humidity. I did not ration my water correctly. LOL

Wednesday, September 2
9 minutes of a 15 minute stretch class - I had to start late because a meeting ran over. 
45-minute yoga class at the community center after work

Thursday, September 3
30-minute yoga video at the student union during lunchtime 

Friday, September 4 - Monday, September 7
Labor Day - There was a lot of activity, but no formal workouts

Tuesday, September 8
30-minute no repeat full body supersets - When you don't lift for a week, your body is stupid. I AM INVINCIBLE. (I may not be able to lift my arms tomorrow.)

Wednesday, September 9
15-minute stretch class at lunchtime*
20-minute no repeat strength and conditioning workout

Thursday, September 10

Friday, September 11
15-minute stretch class at lunchtime

30-minute new moon yoga - Look, sometimes your balance and flexibility are terrible, especially when you haven't done yoga in more than a week.

Thursday, September 17
30-minute yoga video at the student union during lunchtime

Friday, September 18
30-minute balance exercises - I really like this video for this purpose. I don't have time to workout tonight after work, so this was what I could do unobtrusively in my office at lunchtime. 

Saturday, September 19 - Sunday, September 20
Days off

Monday, September 21
37-minute morning yoga flow
Hotel room yoga.

*Our local healthcare organization does free stretch classes virtually three times a week. Sign up here! It's free. It's fun. We regularly talk about candy and what's for lunch. It's a delightful break in the middle of the day. You do not have to have your camera on. She has the classes out there for the rest of the year, so you'd only have to register ONCE.

How are your fitness goals going as we head into the final quarter of the year?

  1. As usual, you are killing it Engie! My fitness goal is to comply with Elisabeth's walking challenge this month. It is Day 2 and I don't know how I am going to manage today (my day is going to be full of driving and sitting in a hospital waiting room) but I am going to try!
