Wow. I see. Nope you don’t board. You’re ver consistent. That’s good.

Checking in with PT. 7 more sessions to go.

Men like two chi because every posture is either an attack or a defense. My first teacher 20 years ago was a civil court judge. He said if he was practicing in his robe and someone came in his chambers and saw him, they would back out slowly and apologize profusely.

i couldn't do it. as I read on how to make a program for yourself, it says not to do the same thing every day. Not just for muscle confusion but for endurance..

If your body knows what's comeing it will ready to defend itself. but if you throw in something with 10 pounds, or more movement, it says, *hey, what are you doing out there to me?* and it has to change it's thought pattern.

I can't even stand feeding my dog the same food, morning after evening the same thing.. Same for the bird. I change their food for breakfast and dinner.

How else are you going to see if you're improving ? maybe that's not your goal though, right. ?

I think about what I'm going to do every day and how to get it done.

all this to say, give your body a jolt every now and then. it will respond better.

Great dinner last night. I had sand dabs (a local flat fish, like flounder) on wild rice with dried cranberries and green beans, with a very delicate sauce. Also a glass of the house white. All this at a bargain rate. I'll have to do this more often. The menu is limited but there are still at least 6 choices.

Choir practice was good; we all were glad to get back after taking the summer off.

Check-in: Power 15 from Ellen's 7 Day. Back to the barre studio tomorrow.

Linda LOL about that judge!

Lauren Baby Bells. I guess Tai Chi is a martial art and that's why men like it, but it's very choreographed, and you couldn't defend or attack anyone unless they were totally in sync with your movements and in exactly the right place at the right time!

Diana3271 · 08-29-19, 10:19 PM

Hi Everyone!

I had stuff going on in my office today and then a hair apt. I couldn't get a workout in.

Have a Blessed evening!

Good Morning, Everyone! Happy Weekend!

Last night: Basic stretch
This morning: Oxycise

Have a Blessed day and a great start to your weekend!

barre 3 30 minutes, plus Adrienn Rainbow yoga (kinda cute)

Cynthia, exactly, very slow motion. So if someone starts punching you, you have to politely ask them to slow down, I guess.

Took a regular/classic Pure Barre class today. Silly me, I had worried that it wouldn't be enough of a workout now that I usually take Empower classes. The instructor, who usually teaches the Empower classes, was incredible; experienced barre-istas were whimpering. It was definitely tough enough.

I usually don't go anywhere on Memorial Day weekend, but the summer's last Voices of Hope concert is tomorrow and I can't miss my quartet/solo. Then there's a cast party on Sunday, which I will go to b/c a soprano buddy has invited me to spend the night in her guest room. I wouldn't have gone to the party otherwise. Concert and part are in Santa Clara County, over an hour's drive each way.

Kohl's had some shorts & pants on closeout sale, $10 or less. I got light khaki Bermudas, olive capris, and denim shorts. I was a bit shy about the shorts b/c the skin above my knees has gone crepe-y. An age thing, I guess; I've read that skin gets loose with age. So I modeled them for DD to judge, told she didn't need to be brutal, just say yes or no for which I should wear to the party, which will be outdoors in very warm weather. She chose the denim shorts and told me to get my money back for the other 2. I told her about not feeling confident in them due to how my knees look; she told me if I wear them, no one will look at my knees. That's about as close as I get to a compliment from her.
