A year ago my husband and I were training to climb to Everest Base Camp. My husband was 70 and I was 61. Training was rigorous. Then I fell at work. I slid face first onto an outside porch and the crown of my head hit an exterior wall so hard it intented it. Concussion yes, TBI absolutely. A year of minimal exercise. Dreams postponed. Now at 62 and a whole lot of work my brain is functional but my body squishy and weak. I still want to climb. I still want to be healthy, trim, and energetic. Now my Everest is metaphorical and ok, maybe next spring real. My major quest is by the end of 90 days: I. Resistance training 3x a week and doing cardio @ 85% of HR 3x a week for 45 minutes at a clip and yoga 1x a week. 2. meditating 4x a week. 3. writing 5x a week 4. have travelled to Europe in September and Oregon in October. 5. Completed my 12 week memory course I've broken my 90 day goals into 3 30 day smaller quests, so for this challenge- 1. Walk 6 days a week and 3 of those time do a HIIT walk. 2. Experiment with different forms of meditation, one type each week. At least 3x . 3. Write 3x a week 4. plan trips 5. Follow the memory course - practice 6x a week. I hope I'm doing this right.
