Hi Everyone,
Yesterday was a long day at work....our co-worker who left on Friday left behind a huge mess. She must have known she was leaving b/c I don't think she did any work at all in April. This is our busiest time of year, too, so it is that much worse b/c of the timing. So, suffice it to say, I got nothing else done besides my morning workout. Today, I started off w/ Lucy Wyndham Read's summer challenge - today was the 11 Min Cardio/Tone followed by a 7 min glute focused workout. The simplicity of following this routine and even doing the same workout every day (the cardio/tone you repeat every day for 6 days) is really helpful right now as i don't have a lot mental energy to figure out what workout to do. These are most like Slim in 6/Slim Series -they are high rep/body weight exercises and those tend to agree with my body more so than doing heavy weights. Also it is nice that they only take 20 min to do b/c if I feel like doing something else in the morning, I can usually find 20 min to fit in the challenge workouts during the day. I finished w/ a hip mobility routine from Caroline Jordan. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-x_6KQkAnUw This was different from what I'm used to doing, but it did feel effective - a bit of activation as well as stretch. Sherry - I hear you on your DD moving out. Mine isn't leaving per se, but going away to college and I get pretty emotional about it when I think about it. I mean, it is good and normal and all that, but still a bit sad. I also feel that we grew closer during the pandemic since we have been around each other pretty much 24X7 for the past year. We have our own little rituals and it is going to be strange when she is gone in the fall. But, that is what is supposed to happen...so I just have to adjust to the new normal. wishiwasinhawaii - my DD is skipping her HS Grad - she hated every minute of being in HS so she opted not to go. They are doing a limited in-person ceremony outdoors. Pam that sounds like an interesting 10 min Solution Workout. I wonder if I have it?! Liz - Oh yes, Margaret is much different than Pahla, LOL! I like her stuff. I keep meaning to go back to it some day. Hope everyone has a good day! Donna |
