Good morning! 
I’ve been slacking over the last few months but since summer break started a couple weeks ago, I’ve walked every day. Sometimes just a quick walk, but I’m really just trying to establish that habit again so I count it as a success.

I don’t know anything about it, but found this article. I assume that you’ve adjusted the weight, but there are some other suggestions to mix up your workout.
Let us know how it goes.

LIT between sets?
I think the "boring" is why a lot of people like it. Its popular because it is simple and you dont need to remember or figure out a lot of lifts or equipment. Try a different program if you want something more varied.

Is it because you're hitting plateau? Or is it cause you find the 5 lb increments at your current weight to not be challenging?

I haven't been able to get outside to rollerblade this week because of the smoke in the air outside. I've pulled out my row machine and have used it a few times this week and I've been focusing on stretching more since I don't do it nearly enough.

I need someone to kick my ass into doing more stretching and resistance training. But also stuck inside because of the smoke here in the Great Lakes.

I have to force myself to stretch and foam roll. Keeping plantar fasciitis under control is my latest motivator lol.

Well, it's a hell of a motivator, as those go! I've had issues with my lower back since my mid-20s, and I'm realizing now (40s) that it's starting to affect my range of motions in other parts of my body as well, and, well, 0/10 stars!

The smoke is bad here too! I want to go out for runs but won’t when it’s this Smokey. So indoor lifting and exercise it is

Gotcha. So you ever hear of Ice Cream Fitness (it's not what you think, no ice cream involved, I wish...sorry
)? It's got the 5x5 routines, but you're adding extra accessory work. Maybe that's what you're missing to to make it not so boring, check it out...gluck.

I’ve been reading some on hormone cycles by gender and the male 24 hour hormone cycle was interesting. Especially the aspect of peak testosterone for males in the morning. I d codes because my schedule allowed for it this morning to start my run in the am vs waiting which I haven’t done in a while. I’m not sure if it was really the hormone difference but I literally crushed my running goal. My performance was, pun completely intended, night and day.
I could have kept running. I already was going to take forever to walk back and didn’t want to take all day. My breathing was awesome, I didn’t experience any cramps in my abs or legs. Anyway it was a really surprising start to my day.

Covid was actually great for me because I was home more and had the time to cook and work out. Then the last year and a half were brutal with crazy life stuff and most of my good habits went by the wayside. I’m back at home now and looking forward to being healthier because it makes me feel better…although I often wish sitting in my hammock and reading while eating delicious food was what made me feel my best 
So right now, I’m focusing on cooking at home and not eating out as much as well as getting back to only drinking water 99% of the time. Daily rowing will be my next thing.

Let’s talk about schedules and workout management

Are you a workout “schedule” person? Do you use a calendar? An app? Something else?
Do you keep track of your workouts? If so, why? What are you looking for? Do you review the data you’ve collected? What patterns have you noticed?
Does your workout schedule change at different parts of the year? What are some tendencies as far as times of the year you’re really dedicated, vs times where it’s harder to maintain that motivation?
I’m staring down the end of summer and the start of the school year, so it’s always a good time for me to reconsider what I’m doing, and what I can do better. I’d love to get your perspective and how you manage your time. Thanks in advance

Oh! I have another question
I would like to make a smoothie or some sort in the morning to take with me to work for lunch. In the past, I’ve thrown together yogurt, spinach, and banana and that’s been fine but I’m wondering what other smoothie recipes you’ve tried. I know nothing about protein powders or other additives; any advice would be appreciated.
