Hi friends!
Today I finally moved on to the second month of STS: Hypertrophy (building muscle size). I LOVED it! I am so pumped, physically and mentally. The first month was about endurance, and it was so many reps and so much equipment, I had some dread about the workouts. This month is really straightforward lifting, with heavy weights, and 12, 10, and 8 reps. It felt so good. I felt so strong. I will be so sore and whimpery tomorrow!
I bet it won't take me 4 months to finish this set of workouts!
My bad news is that DH hurt his knee badly last night. He went out skateboarding, landed wrong, and pulled or tore something in his knee. He had to sit on his skateboard and scoot to the car! He thought about going to the ER last night, but he couldn't tell from the parking lot if it was busy inside or not (because it was at the hospital and people are there for all kinds of reasons, not just the ER). Since he could barely limp around, he didn't want to risk going in and then discovering a super long wait or a room full of really sick people waiting.
Today he went to Urgent Care, with an appointment, but still had to wait 75 extra minutes to be seen. They took an X-ray and determined that he hadn't broken a bone, sold him crutches and a brace (yay, because most of our local stores are sold out of crutches), and told him to see an orthopedist. He made an appointment... for next Monday! to get an MRI. I hope he won't need surgery, but who knows?
Pratima, I love calling it "The Spa Minute" !! I could keep that going for my whole life, I think
Great job talking to an attorney, updating your resume, and applying for a job! It takes a ton of energy to do all those things. I'm impressed!
I don't know what I would do about gymnastics. I think I'm too worried to do something like that yet, but then I go back and forth every day. I feel super lucky that my family doesn't have to work at essential jobs and that we can do grocery pickup and order things online. What a crazy time!
Hello to
Stephanie and Mbramer!
Like Pratima, I hope we can all get together when social distancing is over! It would be so fun to meet up and have a weekend together or something
I hope there have been some bright spots for everyone today, and that there will be many more tomorrow. Hang in there, my friends. Hugs to all!
