Today I did some yard work, then did Jessica's 21 Day Low Impact HIIT. It's so nice to workout again.
Thanks everyone for relating to the effects of stress. TBH, I think some of it is coming from my Friday lunches with my friends from my homeschooling days. They think the virus is over hyped, yada yada. I think our beliefs and values are just so different that it makes it stressful. I either have to keep quiet, or we end up debating. Not a good feeling. I'm not going tomorrow, still iffy about next week. It's hard, because we used to have some things in common, and now I'm feeling we don't have a point of connection. But it's hard to let go, when you've been socializing with people for years. In good news, the high was 91 today! It was 70, this morning, I actually got cold lol. The past two days have been so nice, such a difference from the over 110 temps. It’s supposed to be 103 on Saturday, but it’s still so much better. I’ve been in such a good mood today over the weather! Donna, it is hard when our dogs age. Hugs. Pam, I know it must be very stressful dealing with a difficult parent in normal times, must less now. Company does make you clean! I've had the same problem, but have been getting more in gear today, probably because of the weather. wishiwasinhawaii, that's true, one day is like another. I'm glad you like the Back Friendly workout too.

Hi Everyone,
Today was: Classical Stretch 1223 - I think that was the episode. It was on Disc 4 and was all standing, I picked it b/c I had Disc 4 out and I wanted an all standing workout! LOL! Jessica Valent - Weights on the Mat - what is sounds like - floor work for upper and lower body! Jessica Valent - 5 min inner thigh - also what is sounds like! Jessica Valent - Neck Stretches - from You Tube - my neck has been feeling stiff this week! Yesterday mid-day I did a Lucy Wyndham Read circuit workout to try to get some energy flowing. I like the simplicity of throwing her stuff in mid-day sometimes. ----- Random thoughts: I have also been suffering from lack of motivation to keep up with things during this pandemic - you would think I would be getting to all those projects I was "saving" for when I had the time -but, nope, just the bare minimum happening here. Pam, I hear you on the mom thing, my mom, as you know, passed away in May and although I feel guilty saying this - it was a relief on some level. She was absolutely miserable and it was really draining dealing with her - she was never going to be happy or right with the world, so as awful as it is to say, it is a relief that it is over. I know that sounds terrible to say. But dealing with all of that is a huge drain on adult children who have their own worries and woes. My goal is not to repeat the behavior w/ my daughter, if I can help it. Sherry - Yea, I can imagine those lunches becoming stressful. Is there any way to avoid that topic of conversation and talk about other things? I also think sometimes you just grow apart from people. I had a close friend when my DD was little and we had a falling out - it was more of a silent falling out - basically, there was an incident that occurred that made me realize that perhaps we were not "true" friends, and it was sad to realize it. Waves, wishiwasinhawaii! Donna |

Today I did some filing for the hospice, to make up for missing a day last week. This evening I did Jessica’s prenatal you tube workout, 30 Minute Strength. After that I rode my bike for 20 minutes while watching a you tube video.
Donna, I had motivation last spring when I painted my house, then I seemed to lose it over the summer. I feel it coming back, probably because it’s getting a bit cooler. Regarding my friends, it was my fault last week, I brought up the topic. But even when I don’t, they make comments frequently, which I find irritating. I think you are right, people grow apart. And with the virus, a difference in beliefs can be life threatening. I’m taking a chance already going to a restaurant. I want to be with people who are on the same page as me with regard to precautions. I’m sorry about your former friend, it is sad.
