Sandra, good quote for this week. My family (parents & 2 sisters) has been doing weekly video calls on Saturdays since the start of the pandemic. My youngest sister was having a tough time yesterday, and we talked a lot about the difficulties of not having a clear end in sight.
Paine, I don't have that KCM, but she does frog squats in some of her other videos, and they are tough! Here was my week: Monday recumbent bike, 20 mins Barre 3 (FB) - Sadie 30m Barre3 at Home Tuesday Live outdoor yoga class with Carol Wednesday Yoga170 (local studio, online class) - Refreshing Flow with Carly (@20m--too flow-y for me and I wasn't feeling it!) Adam Fields DC (YT) - Shoulder Stabilization, 2 of 4 Anita Goa (YT) - Upper Body Foam Roller Thursday 95-minute Yin Yoga Practice from Yin YTT (Day 5, Lesson 1) Friday Barre3 (FB) - 20m with Christa Joy, 4/18 30MTF Body Design - Stronger Lower Adam Fields DC (YT) - Beginning Shoulder Rehab; Carpal Tunnel and Wrist Strengthening Live outdoor yoga class with Cathy & Amy Jo Saturday Barre3 (YT) - 5m Travel Friendly Workout 30MTF Body Design - Cardio Sculpting w/Light Dumbbells; Kickboxing with Light Dumbbells Adam Fields DC (YT) - Shoulder Stabilization, 1 of 4 Yoga Shack Online (YT) - Gentle 4th of July Yoga Sunday Tracy C (YT) - Ballet Toning Workout for Women David Kirsch (YT) - Sound Mind Sound Body Bootcamp* Adam Fields DC (YT) - Carpal Tunnel and Wrist Strengthening *Found this workout on YT today. It included a lot of things I like, such as punching, kinking, plies, and light weights--but it was kind of a mish-mash. Plus, the music sounded like an 80s evening soap opera and David tended to refer to himself in the 3rd person.

Paine, are you asking me as a psychologist or anecdotally? I can't really make an informed professional opinion, but overall yes, I think in many ways it's been tougher on extroverts. DH & I are both introverts and are fine with being at home! But I miss the things we like to do together, such as eating out and going to book sales (although we are doing the latter tomorrow). What I really don't like is the uncertainty and the feeling about missing out on summer. For my sister it's been a lot tougher for many reasons, including being a single mom, having 2 young kids, and having had to take on extra work at her job (because so many people were laid off).

Today:
Not a most satisfying fitness day- it was hot, I was a fickle pickle and DS called in the middle of my yin practice. As much as I love Norman Blair, I'll always love DS more, LOL, so I didn't finish since our calls are always lengthy. YT - Jessica Smith - Strength Something (forgot the name) - I wanted to do total body weights, but wasn't in the mood to do side planks, so I Joni O'd this one. YT - randomly came across Full Body Workout for Women over 50 from The Fit Mother project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oAHwQJLFy6w . As it turned it out, it was instructional, but I did the exercises while he was talking. This would be a good video to share with someone who knew a little about weights but wasn't sure how to put together a total body routine to do at home. I plan to check out more of the videos on that channel and see if there's anything of interest. MFML - Issues And Tissues - Norman Blair. Oh, Norman, I do love you and I've been missing yin, so I'll try to finish this practice later this week. I finally got masks ordered!!! I ordered a total of six masks, from 5 different vendors. I thought that would be a good way to try different styles and construction. Three have already sent shipping confirmations, so I'm hoping all goes well. Has anyone bought the filters to slip inside the masks? I bought masks with nose wires and filter pouches. I got 3 that are more girly (meaning the fabric) and 3 that are more neutral and man-acceptable. I was looking for a quick recipe for a side dish for dinner last evening, and came across this Quick Cabbage Coleslaw on Skinnytaste: https://www.skinnytaste.com/quick-cabbage-slaw/ . We thought it was pretty good and I doubled the recipe and it holds up well in the refrigerator. I think it would be really good on fish or black bean tacos, as well as being a decent side. Today I made seed crackers, plain hummus, turmeric hummus and sliced up some cukes for snacking. Sandra - Pump is one of my favorite FitPrimes (love the music on that one, too). I liked the quote for the week. I think we've all felt like we were falling apart this year. And I love tacos, especially now that I've discovered Siete grain free taco shells. Paine - You've definitely had plenty going on this year, to say the least! I would imagine the extroverts are struggling more with social distancing and stay at home mandates. Beth - Enjoy your book sale tomorrow! Need to start winding it down for the evening - hope everyone's week gets off to a good start.
