Hi Ladies,
Sunday - I didn't do a formal workout (I usually take Sunday's off), but I did finish the last phase of project clean house/floors. As if that wasn't taxing enough (
), I also did yard work. I have a large back yard, so I have a riding lawn mower for that, but the front yard is smaller and very steep so while I can use the riding lawn mower for some of it (the grade puts you at a really odd angle, which makes me nervous), I ended up using the push mower for a lot of it, since the riding lawn mower struggled going up the hill. I was totally worn out by Sunday night. I did get in 12,500 steps for the day, though!
Monday -
I did two Jessica 10 min walks. My vacation really kicked in as I worked for less than an hour. I was still exhausted from Sunday, so I took at least one nap. I had planned to do a CH workout at night, but I fell asleep before I got it in (only made it to 7,200 steps, which isn't bad considering that I was in chill mode for most of the day).
Tuesday - Woke up to cooler temps due to the rains from the hurricane on the coast (it was 66 degrees yesterday morning), and really had no excuse to not take a brisk walk.
So I did 57 mins of mostly walking, but I threw in 3 or 4 jog intervals along the way.
Yesterday evening I had a friend over for a social distancing get together. We were going to chat on the deck, so I spent a good bit of time sweeping off the cobwebs and blowing off all of the leaves and other debris. I also set up chairs and a high speed fan. She is a cancer survivor, and even though we were at least 6 feet from each other on the deck, she said she was nervous that it wasn't enough, so we ended up moving into the yard/grass and she positioned herself about 10 feet away. With the high speed fan on, which was mostly trained on me, it was hard to hear her, but I wanted her to feel comfortable. Doing all of the cleaning of the deck to prepare for her arrival, especially in the heat, felt like another workout. I was dripping sweat. It also helped with the step count; I got in 15,300 steps yesterday!
I also didn't send ANY work emails yesterday, so it was nice to disconnect for the day. I have a few to send today, but I'm limiting my time to an hour Not sure what workout I'll do today.
SB - (ETA: I was typing, so I didn't see your post until after I posted. Happy Anniversary! Sorry to hear that you lost power) -Glad you've been able to get in some walks. You kind of helped to inspire me yesterday morning because I was on the fence about taking a walk and I thought, well I've been saying in the check-in that I'm going to get back to it but we've been commenting on how hot it has been. It's 66 degrees. I really have no excuse so just do it! And I did it!
And it felt great! I've never done a Gilad workout. Hmmm. . . I hope the tropical storm is not too bad by the time it gets to you. About the cleaning, I've been working so much that I let the cleaning fall by the wayside. If you saw how messy it's been around here, you'd see why the cleaning has been totally necessary!
Penguin - What exciting news about the RV!
A co-worker of mine just sold her RV. Her husband passed away a couple of years ago; they would travel cross country during the summers and she finally realized that she was never going to travel in it again without him, so she decided to sell it. She said that she got 17 calls within the first 3 hours of listing it on FB Market Place! She was telling me how people are buying RVs left and right now because of the pandemic (I also saw a news story about it). So, that's so exciting that you all found one that you liked and were able to snatch it up! Wow, it is super nice and looks so comfortable!
I hope that you all enjoy it for many years to come. I'm planning to look up some of the workouts that you mention.
Terri - Great job with your workouts! I haven't gotten around to it, but I need to take another look at my CS workouts one of these days. Kudos to you for putting on the new lock!
Nora - Hope you get to try the pilates class soon. I was also planning to check out that step channel mentioned on the GD page.
Waves to All!
