Hi Everyone,
Since the humidity and heat have settled in here I did Jessica's Sunset Barefoot walk on You Tube last night. It is an oldie - but a nice one. It is a gentle "walking" style workout. I'm mainly adding these on for extra steps/activity since working from home tends to reduce my step count and now it is getting harder to get out and walk the dogs.
Today was: Jessica's Get Strong - Strictly Strength - I admit, I had some dread going into this one - it wasn't bad though once I got going. I did not go heavy - I was using 3's, 5's and 8's - but I felt that was pretty good since I haven't done a whole lot of strength training recently.
I also added on Kassandra's 30 Day Morning Yoga Challenge - Day 3
I will try to get another walk or something in later today for more steps.
I'm still doing quite a bit of work for my old job - wrapping things up for end of fiscal year but I have been invited to meetings, etc. for my new job and so far so good. There is a whole different mindset there which I appreciate - one of my supervisors even told me not to worry - that it would probably take me 3 years to get it all down - what a change from my last place where you were expected to be perfect from day one. I really appreciate that outlook. And, they are not loading me up with stuff b/c they know I'm still wrapping up my old job. Fingers crossed, as I said to a friend, I really could go for a nice stable job w/ a good attitude to round out my last years of working before retirement.
Sherry - I'm using the Eucerin SPF 30, too. I find that when I'm using Differin all of the chemical sunscreens sting and the Aveeno SPF 30 Mineral Sunscreen, that works fine for me when not using Differin, stings when I am using Differin! Isn't that weird? Anyway I like the Eucerin - my only complaint is it is a little on the shiny side, but it does dry down eventually. It really may be my favorite since it isn't heavy and doesn't irritate my skin at all. I had some Cerave Face Sunscreen SPF50 lying around and that one makes you look like a mime when you put it on - but I use it when I'm outdoors or in the sun a lot and I mix a tinted sunscreen over it to cut down on the ghost effect. That one also doesn't sting. And, another I like is the Olay Sensitive SPF 30. It is definitely hard to find the right combo of texture, non-irritating ingredients, and SPF!
wishiwasinhawaii - I'm doing the same with walking! I think today may be a walk & talk at lunch and maybe another walk & talk before dinner. Otherwise, I just end up sitting all day long.....good luck w/ your meetings!
