What I'm Reading This Week #22
Howdy do and welcome to the last Friday of May. 😑 Even though it was a short week, it always seems just a tinge longer than the previous week. I'm getting antsy because I want to see blooms. When you're growing from seed, it requires a patience I don't naturally have and trying to keep things from getting to everything before it has a chance to. Then reading about some God awful hornworm that can just come in and decimate your tomato plants overnight. It makes me wonder at what point do I put up the insect netting over the bucket veggies. Other than that, not much else going on this week. Let's hop straight into: Does Walking Build Muscle, Burn Fat, or Both ? (The part about e-scooters is often a discussion as kids on them and e bikes rocket past us in the park or on a sidewalk going 20 mph. These kids are going to have ZERO muscle.)

That was some awesome chili and hit the spot after the workout. I am more sore than expected but we haven't done Tae Bo in a while so that'll do it.

DeleteWill you be able to snowshoe this weekend? It's been super windy here so I've been hiding in the house any time I'm not at work. I have a hard time hitting higher intensities when I work out at home, so I'm looking for a class to take a few times a week that will kick my butt.
ReplyDeleteI wish! In April, if you're not going to give me my required 4" base, don't bother. (That's what she said.) A stupid trick I use to bring the intensity at home is to pretend I'm being filmed for an exercise video or being watched by people expecting me to fall. LOL
DeleteSo glad you got so much accomplished! That's always a great feeling. We're due for 1-3 inches of snow this afternoon, but freezing rain this morning -- has me super stressed out because I'll be in it for work right at that time. Then the rest of the week is in the 50's - go figure.
ReplyDeleteThe main workout routine that kicks my butt every single time is Pilates. Any time I'm doing those moves and trying to engage/strengthen my core I'm dripping in sweat and shaking. LOL
