What I'm Reading This Week #32
Howdy do y'all and how's it hanging this week? It feels weird to not have had people traipsing in and out of the house all week. I'll take it though. We haven't had any storms yet, of course so no sigh of relief just yet but fingers crossed. What I can happily update is in using the moisture meter against the wall yesterday, is the off the chart over 99 number we got before that set off alarms? It's now down to 24 and technically considered dry but those baseboards aren't going back up until we've had some storms. I can't tell you how relieving it is to have that meter so we know the moisture is going down in a place we couldn't see unless we cut out a huge piece of drywall. Tuesday I did some zinnia pruning as that task got ignored for two weeks because of the aforementioned traipsers (new word). It'll be interesting to see if rando zinnias start popping up due to the petals that have seeds attached falling off. I was working besid...
Yes definitely a love/hate thing. I love it when it's done for sure, but I hate it any other time!
ReplyDeleteJilian Michaels 30 day shred. It's my "plan B" so I never really use it the way it's intended. Every time I do use the dvd though I end up with noodle arms so I know I've done well.
ReplyDeleteHa ha I love it! Yeah I have a hard one tonight. Bob Harper's ST and I hurt for three days last week because of it. I was very rusty in the ST department.
ReplyDeleteI love/hate Bob Harper's Pure Cardio dvd. It's the weight swings. While they're effective (and not that "hard") they just go on and on forever (and the little time ticker at the bottom of the screen doesn't help at. all.).
ReplyDeleteHmm, maybe I need to make that DVD my challenge for the month of October.
hahaha-all of it :). Yep, there are times when I love/hate everything. But, most of the time I can rely on Strength Training to be my main love/hate relationship. Reshaping muscles is hard work :).
ReplyDeleteI love to hate Jillian Michaels and circuit training. But I have to say that I hate burpees. There is NO love there. Period. :-)
ReplyDeleteAnd it SHOWS, girlfriend!! As you know, water aerobics is it for me, for now, and the hardest workout we do is running into the jets at full stream with paddle boards extended out in front of us. It feels like drowning would be more comfortable after about three minutes of it but it feels like magic when we're done.
ReplyDeleteI do Leslie Sansone's Walking Away the Pounds videos and I absolutely HATE when I have to do the kick-backs (alternating raising each leg until it looks like you're kicking your own butt.) It hurts so bad but I always feel super-accomplished when I'm finished with them.
ReplyDeleteMine would have to be any core/pilates workouts. I barely have enough upper body strength to hold myself up let alone hold my abs in while balancing on one hand and leg! I have a VERY weak core, so that tells me this is an area I need to just keep working on consistently. Nothing makes me sweat as much as core workouts.
ReplyDeleteevery single workout at the bootcamp I attend is a love/hate relationship
ReplyDeleteI love my trainer Susan who runs it - she kicks my butt - she pushes me to work to my personal limit while showing me my limits are more then I thought
and yes, she is careful that we do not get hurt - my limit is not the limit of T - who can do more then me - or J who can do less then me
and while I love it - I also hate it - it is HARD
