Happy Sunday, Watulans, and oh my goodness I'm so behind, I apologize!
First what I've been up to workout wise. After many weeks of one body part per day heavy-ish weight training, I started having a visceral "I don't want to pull out ANY equipment dang it" reaction and crazy workout apathy, so I decided to change things up. I've been doing circuit/metabolic type workouts alternating with the new PY 108 series by Travis because my ID subscription is up in about a month or so and I want to use it before it's gone....plus, after all that intense weight training and no yoga or barre for weeks on end, my sciatic/piriformis issues seem to have subsided. For now. Crossing fingers and toes!
For those of you struggling with that kind of pain, I'm SO SORRY because I know just how stinking miserable it can be. And mine seems to come and go with no rhyme or reason which is frustrating too.
So this past week I did Cathe's Drill Max and High Step Challenge plus Patrick's Lean Hot Body for my circuit workouts and then did PY 108 Balance and Vitality, but my third day of yoga was derailed by a well issue when we had no water for an entire day, grrrrr. I'm on a mission to get all the way through Patrick's LHB without having to stop and catch my breath during that fourth circuit. I ~almost~ made it through last week, only took a short break! Evil, pure evil, and I only use 8's through 12's. I have no idea what they're using and I don't care!
Today I did the Step Blast/SJP step and weights circuit premix (81 mins) and tomorrow I'm going to start cycling through the Level Up 108 practices again.
I really want to try Caroline's and CDorner's workouts but the music just...well....I just can't go there right now!
Aaaand in addition, I'm in a bit of flux because after much rumination, I left one of my jobs that was making me terribly stressed and unhappy. I have to finish up some work I agreed to do and then I'll have to find something else. I should be feeling relieved but all I feel is...well, stressed. And guilty. Pfffffft.
Kate, I'm SO RELIEVED for you about Justin!! Great, great news.
ChelePA, you are rocking the Peleton in so many ways! And oh, don't get me started on teeth. I'm hard on mine too. I actually chewed through a night guard once and woke up with pieces of plastic in my mouth I thankfully didn't swallow.
FN2, I'm so sorry about your stepdaughter's mom. Very sad. How are your sweet fuzzy babies doing?
Manleym, I think you teachers need saint status, I seriously do, for all you've gone through in this last couple of years. You really sound like you're one of the good ones, too, my friend!
Nathalie, UG on the 500 error! But I'm happy to hear your ankle is doing so well!
Kim, I hear you on the cases seeming to be everywhere. And I also hear you on wading through so much YouTube content! I never know where to start and usually end up doing something I know instead of trying something new!
Horusosiris, where did you find Cathe's new Total Gym workout? I don't even know what a total gym is, but I'm interested! Speaking of, is anyone eagerly awaiting her new series announcement like I am?
Bee, OMG...oil pulling!! I had a friend years ago who did that and I could not believe how beautifully white her teeth got. Do you have any good resources to suggest for how to do it properly? I totally forgot all about that!
Waves to
FOLV and
BabyW! I hope I didn't miss anybody, my apologies if I did, Watulans!! Stay fierce!
