What is your go-to workout?

Some outages yesterday in WW. Both SIL’s worked it but thankfully, I stayed home. Lol. My boy is also in the biz now but he wasn’t needed to assist.

 

I've been on nights and quite unsociable the last two weeks. Sorry about that.

I'm still getting 45 minutes in the infrared sauna, a 1/4 mile swim, 30 minutes of water aerobics, and 12-14k steps a day in. My body shape is about the same but I am really seeing improvements to my range of motion in old injuries in shoulders and hips.

Weather in the lower Rio Grande Valley is as hot and dry as you probably imagine.

 

I'm glad you got to stay home this time. Thankfully, the storm wasn't bad over here! Today was the first sunny day that we have had in over a week.

 

It's okay and definitely understandable. I feel like I've been going through an entire unsociable season in my life, this year, but it has created lots of time and space for self reflection.
Great job with your routine! Lots of great variety and gentle on the joints. Glad to hear that your injuries are healing too!
Make sure you stay hydrated in this heat and keep doing what you're doing doing!

 

Happy last Monday of September!

I'm in a better mood because we got some sunshine for the first time in over a week. The rain was super intense, but luckily this storm felt very mild compared to Lala in August.

I started week #5/12 of my training program and this is the first day of phase #2. That just means heavier weights. I also jogged for 2 miles and it was nice after being stuck indoors all week.

Hope you will have a wonderful week!

 

Today was hinge and back day followed by a 2.5 mile run. Feeling a little down today because it feels like things have been going wrong since May.

I think it's just a timing thing and I'm going to try to keep my spirits high. At least my training has been solid this year (through the undulating highs and lows) and my past injuries aren't bothering me right now.

I'm going to stay more focused on my blessings.
What cheers you up when you're feeling down?

 

With men it’s easy, we “tinker” in the garage or start a fire! Lol.

 

This actually sounds like a good strategy. Excitement either way? Lol

 

May or May not have bought 3 acres of agricultural land!!! I get the "keys" tomorrow and am so excited. It's going to be a lot of work to develop, but I'm looking forward to it. What are some of your "must haves" for a homestead? Going to start with a fence and gate.

I'm thankfully in much higher spirits today. It's rest day and I got back from a 2.5 mile walk.

 

Cool, acreage! I’m looking for some myself right now.

 

Here’s a bad pic from a video, pole top rescue event Tuesday. We had a good run but unfortunately didn’t make the top 4 and move on. I’m the one in orange. Lol.

 

Amazing! You should definitely get some land. Out of all the different businesses we've had, owning property (rentals) and land has always paid off the most

 

#1 in my book! I have more respect than ever for the work that you guys do especially after the hurricane and power outages we've been having. In this case, it's probably best to be the guy in orange. Lol

 

Happy October!
I'm hoping that this month will be much better than August and September. Today was leg day and then I ran 4 miles.
After a week in jail, the neighbor is out on supervised release until October 12th. My heart dropped when I found this out. He got raided by vice detectives and couldn't afford $60,000 bail. I'm staying far away, but heard that the time he did didn't do anything and he's screaming and threatening his family more than ever.

 

Still practicing dance drills and technique. No choreo, but for now I think I'm content with this.
My floor work and backbends are very rusty so maybe I'll add those back into the routine.

Insomnia tonight. It's almost 2 am and I'm still wide awake. Better take melatonin for now then be more active during the daytime.

 

I had to improvise. Took one hook/foot out of the pole to flip his foot around the service spool rack. Nobody’s seen that before, including me! lol.

 

That sounds like a fancy and advanced maneuver! Great job! You must have no fear of heights?!

 

I like off grid living. It feels very peaceful and more streamlined. I do want to figure out some laundry infrastructure and will probably eventually get a propane dryer.

Yesterday I did a core workout and stayed indoors. I did my 4 strength training workouts for the week and get to rest over the weekend. This morning I ran 4.4 miles in the misty weather and I've noticed that I prefer being out in poor weather because less people are out and about. A bit antisocial? Probably... Lol.

Hope you're enjoying your weekend!

 

Haha. I hate people. (Not everyone) Nobody disappoints like humans I’ve found. I limit my exposure to them, limit. lol.
