Hello!
Pratima, that's great news about DS! So glad it was benign.
My kids have had Mondays off since they moved to their current school (this is the second year). The school had been doing a 4-day week for one year before that.
For pull-ups, I use the bar/barre contraption that Cathe sold a few years ago. I think she sells a different version now. I have my feet on the ground, which works fine since I'm nowhere near doing a full pull-up! I do have a doorway bar in my bedroom closet door. There isn't any place in the basement to install it. I also have heavy bands and a thing you can shut in a doorway to hold onto it. The basement doesn't have any doors that open the right way to use it (you don't want to be able to pull the door open when you pull). So someday I might have to do pull-ups in a different location, which is weird but doable.
I hope you enjoy the shorter Body Beast workouts - and that you don't miss having more time with Sagi!
I'm glad DD is healing well and can get back to a meet soon! I bet she is excited.
I loved watching the Inauguration! I was worried that some sort of attack might happen, so I didn't pull the kids from school to watch. I wonder if their remote teachers would have let their classes watch if there hadn't been any fear of trouble. DS got to see some of it, since he has a lot of breaks.
We are all jealous about your pool! I don't think our HOA allows them. I also don't know if we want to take care of one. Where you are, I think it's more worth it since it hot for more of the year.
Stephanie, it sounds adventurous to try to get near the Capitol! I hope you and the boys had a fun time even if you couldn't get close.
Well, I think my zeal to do P90X and increase my steps by a lot was too much for my knee. I pulled back to let it rest more for a few days, and it is feeling a lot better. It is still tender, so I'm trying to move as much as I can without making it mad. Straight walking seems totally fine. Twisting or shifting side-to-side is rough.
Monday I skipped Plyo X and just did a long session of low impact aerobics without much side-to-side or twisting.
Tuesday I did Shoulders and Arms and Ab Ripper
Wednesday I skipped Yoga X and did Ana and Ravi's Yoga Beauty Body, which felt so good!
Thursday should have been Legs and Back but I took a rest day instead
Friday I did half of Legs and Back.
I am modifying as needed, which is what I promised myself from the beginning, so I still feel like I am successfully doing P90X.
