What I'm Reading This Week #37
Good mid(ish)- September Friday to you. I hope your week felt short and your flop sweat was minimal. We never seem to be rewarded with two cool weeks in a row so it was back to poopie temps and we'll be tipping 90 this weekend which I am none too pleased about. Once you throw me two 70's days in a row, it's time to retire the summer temps. Dems da rules. I got a few things done this week like steaming the curtains which made them drop about 1/2" but thankfully not drag the floor. I finally got the dead flat I ordered from some chick on Etsy after she sent me the wrong thing initially and it took two weeks to get the right thing. I don't know about you but if I sent someone the wrong thing initially and made them have to drive to the post office to return my mistake, I'd be refunding some money or expediting their shipping on the right box. So I've got my two coats on the newel post after doing a little touch up on a spot I didn't see originally....
We do the same formal stuff but when in the office I try to get up and stretch or do calf raises or lunges. I also take the stairs as my cubicle is on the third floor. And I walk as much as I can for extra movement there too. Now if I just had the same movement potential at home I'd have been better off during the glorious time I was full telework!
ReplyDeleteI envy the amount of opportunity you have to get longer walks in there. You know the shoebox is hard to lap more than twice hence the floor bike.
DeleteFor the most it's either WATP (various miles depending on the day/time available) or walking at the park, then stretchy band exercises (on park walking days), ankle exercises from my PT, plantar faciitis exercises with curling the towel and wall stretches for the toes. Three days a week I do wall pushups at varying degrees of tilt, chair sit-to-stands since I can't do lunges, and dumbbell strength exercises. Twice a week is 45 minutes of myofascial stretching of my entire body at the end of the night before I go to bed. I'll usually do that on the days opposite of the strength exercises because it's just a relaxing way to give my body a break but still getting those muscles worked and warmed. If I could go back to the pool right now, that would be my exercise of choice. I used to do that 3 days a week for 2 hours at a time and got in my cardio and strength at the same time. AND my joints and feet felt amazing. It's not an option right now but one day I'd like to get back there.
ReplyDeleteYou've got a heck of a routine there girlie! Awesome!!
