Dec 2-Dec 8

 

Again, a pic of me

At some point I'll have to do an "End of year " post either here or on Fb. 

As much as I am working these days, I am truly enjoying the solitude in the afternoons and evenings. I am journalling and other self-care modalities. Things are kind of tight with money, so I'm doing all fo these while eating like a vegan and drinking a lot of tea. 

I'm also grateful myFIL bought enough coffee to almost drown me. I know he was trying, but I'm keeping my head above it at the moment. Tomorrow is tomorrow. 

Kept the morning routine up and stretching. My hip isn't liking it, but shrug. I'm pretty sure it isn't supposed to. I am using the TRX every day ... again. Getting back to bodyweight training as well. Need to focus on the training in the evening and getting back to endless cardio I had before the world ended. 

Ten minutes of basic yoga poses - 90/90 and worlds greatest stretch to begin. Downward dogs and all the hip openers that I can think of, push ups and planks.

Ten minutes of abs and more hip rotation - knee clamshells, side lying single leg lifts, bicycle legs in the air, BJJ leg pummel, knee tucks, v-Sits, swim kicks, all kinds of ab work here.

Ten minutes banded bicep curls, banded overhead presses, TRX squats and overhead pulls, kettlebell muscle stripping, kettlebell lifts/swings of various lengths and heights.

A nice thing I can say about the swimming is that I'm working on my front crawl - trying to make it a stronger stroke. 

It's just the evenings I need to take back. Batman I am not these days.
