Oh I totally get the 'no waste' thing - didn't have a large family but grew up in THE suburb that people verbally use as the extreme alternative to well-off: "I didn't grow up posh, but I wasn't from <__> either". Good about the lack of weight-gain, but rising inflammation & pain? You know that "listen to your body" idea. The ingredients you don't want to waste have a long shelf-life, so maybe just put them to the back out of sight (phenomenal how effective just not seeing things is) and make the baking just a monthly special - would that work for your household? Sunday morning - 43min, Tim Senesi - 7 Day Quarantine Challenge - Day 1 evening - 45min, back-to-back Couch to 5k - Week 1, with Alice late night - 47min, Cathe - XTrain - Hard Strikes Hard Strikes - killed my calves in the first section. Heavier set of palm/wrist wrap weights were fine, just got a bit tough for jacks with arms going overhead. 2nd section: Felt disappointed with myself until I did the true weight conversion I usually just halve Cathe's pounds for rough switch to kg, she had 8lb, so started with 4kg, but that's 8.8lb. Switched down to 3.5kg (7.7lb) during initial shoulders, and again for 2nd round of biceps.

You're doing awesome, Helen! I've been such a crummy rotation buddy. I think the busy-ness of these couple weeks plays a part but honestly I think we all know I struggle with consistency even when there's not much doing on.
Sandy and buff, if I remember right you guys have done Lesley Fightmaster's yoga, haven't you? I saw in the GD that she unexpectedly passed away. Her husband posted her last video and wrote in the description of her passing.

Thanks Vannie - even knowing you're along for some of the ride keeps me plugging away. To be honest, I really wasn't feeling it tonight.
Monday night: Didn't do the XTrain - Chest, Back, & Shoulders until almost 8pm, and was going to ditch doing the Couch run, but Alice stood longingly in front of where her harness & lead are, so did it for BOTH of us. Didn't finish the run until after 11pm. The harbour path is so nice (and empty) at night though, I'm really liking these late night runs, and the hotter it gets into summer, Alice will need that to be when we go, even with a closer clip she's still essentially wearing a jumper. Was pleased with the XTrain - last did it when it must have been new (2013) and noted that used 2/3 of Cathe's weight for most of it. This time, matched for chest & back, but not for shoulders - obviously need more work there. BUFF What happened with this week in your log post? You only have up to the 22nd - awesome times logged though!! and a really good mix of everything - you're an all-rounder!

Just a check in. I'm not up for more than that tonight. This afternoon I did XTrain Cardio Leg Blast premix 3 Timesaver rounds 1-6. This was supposed to have been the full workout and done Thursday but it is what it is. I did the premix bc it was almost 3:30 by the time I was able to get started.
