Today is
Sunday FunDay! I don't know what's on tap, but it's sure to be something fun.
Helen: What a wonderful surprise for you!!!! It brought a big smile to my face and I know it made you so happy to have the girls home to surprise you. Doesn't get much better, does it?? Wax and wane on the food. I like that. I am back on track as of today. . . Period. No ifs ands or buts.
Lili: I think I'm calling it the wrong name. But it's for Nintendo Switch (a handheld game device) that I got probably 2 or 3 years ago. It was a hot thing during the pandemic. People just couldn't get them. (I didn't use it then). It's playing a video game and it uses a ring like a pilates ring. It makes it "fun" although a lot of the stuff is very basic. (Squats? OVerhead presses, chair pose, etc.) It's how you defeat the enemies. You're right! You don't need it. Nor did I, but it's great to have variety. (which I do have!) so I need to keep incorporating the "fun" stuff. The stupid thing about the food? I know what it tastes like. I always go overboard (although this year I wasn't *THAT* bad) and the kids are all grown and do not eat like the teenagers they once were. So many leftovers. :: slaps forehead ::
Talking about frustrating "tech" issues. . . I went to do a youtube workout yesterday (outside) on my deck --- more on that later --- and it wouldn't connect right to Youtube. So, I switched to my phone and used that. Came inside and went to do a Hydrow workout on the app and at the 16 minute mark (of a 20 minute workout) booted me out.
I was so annoyed. AND to top it off? Hydrow didn't give me credit for the workout. I did finish it on my own and have credit for the week already and it wasn't a badge row, so it could have been worse. And my body thanks me either way, but still frustrating.
I installed the latest software (which was due to be installed a few nights ago) and then rebooted. I am so hoping that solves the issue. I'll find out today. (This is also one of the reasons I hate Apple - if you don't upgrade to their latest software, the device either stops working or doesn't do stuff. grumble grumble.
) Anyway ... if that's the worst of my problems? I'm in great shape.
So back to the check in. . .
11/27/2021: Macebell 15 mins. you tube workout (outside on the deck)** ,
20 minutes row (finished the last 3 or 4 minutes on my own with intervals I think they would have done),
45 mins. Beatles ride with Denis Morton,
5 mins. Post Ride Stretch, 5 mins. Core workout with Emma,
5 mins. Dead bug core workout with CDE (not what I remebmered it to be?!?) and then
10 mins. total body stretch to Ed Sheerhan with Robin Arzon.
Great workout day yesterday!!!!
** Macebell --- I got it (don't ask my why - oh VARIETY!) and it's interesting. Think sledgehammer with a bell on the end. (Look on Amazon, they sell them if you want to see a picture). It's just a different way to train/use the muscles. Works a little balance, the moves are slower and more controlled. But I can't be swinging the thing in the house or I'll take out a light, wall or tv. I also think that even though it was cold out (33 degrees) I was bundled up and it was good. I know it's good for me to try and be outside at least 10-15 mins. even when it's cold, so this wasn't all that bad. Now if I would just jumprope outside in the cold. . . lol .... Yes ... my muscles are feeling the 15 mins. workout I did yesterday. In a good way of course.
That's it for now. Tomorrow is back to work. I've thoroughly enjoyed my extra day off and time off. But it's back to things as I know it.
ONWARD.
