Hi friends! I finally got a real workout in today. I haven't done much since I hurt my neck, though I certainly could have been walking and stretching!
Today I did STS 22 Chest, Shoulders, Triceps. I skipped most of the push-ups and it was very enjoyable! I walked for a while with Leslie. I did the first segment of 30 Day Posture from the app. Finally, Cathe's chair stretch from IMAX4 It feels great to have moved so much, and I adjusted my weights so I will be able to move tomorrow (I think!). I did get a weird twinge in one shoulder. Hopefully it will not develop into anything. Our air quality has been really low lately. There are tons of fires burning in the mountains and in California, so the air is smokey. I haven't wanted to walk outside much and breathe in the smoke! The sunsets have been amazing and strange, with the sun looking bright red most nights. Pratima, we got to choose between in-person or remote learning. My kids start next week. We are trying to get them all set up, but I'm sure there will still be plenty of snags along the way! About 1/4 of the families at their school chose remote learning this semester. I'm glad you have options besides your gyms! I wouldn't feel comfortable going to one right now. Two families in our neighborhood own small gyms and both have had to close them and find other jobs. It's terrible for them, but it's not a great time to have a bunch of people breathing hard together indoors! Stephanie, how did the meeting with your surgeon go? Are you still in pain? I hope you are healing well and quickly! It totally makes sense that you would dread DH being gone, after the long stints he was gone in the past. Regarding spirits: I find that I will be totally fine for a week, enjoying all this time together, and then suddenly I wake up and I NEED 3 MONTHS ALONE!! I am definitely overwhelmed by being surrounded by loved ones all the time, and it makes me miserable sometimes. I cannot be my whole, true self if I don't have stretches of time to myself, to just putter around uninterrupted. I have always been that way and I can't change it. I'm also worried for the whole world with the pandemic and the spread of authoritarianism and people losing their jobs and sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and can't go back to sleep for hours. And then I'll be fine for a week! It's nuts! I hope this week will be a good one for everyone! I'm going to try to start a good habit that I want to have once school starts: get up early and exercise before school (it doesn't start until 9:00 this year). I have had a very bad track record with habits for several years now, but I'm trying again anyway! |

So DH got back Sunday night, but he is working nights this week (2-10pm.) What that really means is that he's working all day, because in the morning before he leaves for work, he's on the phone with all his regular colleagues who are working a regular day. So I've hardly seen him, he's not able to help with anything around the house, but he's still generating dirty laundry, eating and cluttering up the house. Gosh aren't I just a bundle of joy today?! So I did a 30 min. barre3 and then a 15 minute Melt segment. I feel slightly better. |
