Montserrat's Musings

@JCU Yes that's a good idea. Funnny thing is, Lacrosse is hardly known here in the Netherlands as a sport, but Lacrosse balls are easily available. It seems they are used a lot for massaging sore muscles!

Thanks @CODawn!

It would have been very easy to skip today's workout, considering it was very warm and also I couldn't really do today's jumping squats and jumping lunges in my apartment. I was very happy with myself for going to a park nearby quite early in the morning and doing the workout there.

I (obviously) didn't come close to actually standing on my head, but it's a start! Worked on upper arm and shoulder strength mostly. Hmmm... I wonder if I will ever be able to do this...

 

[TopNotch]

Hmmm... I wonder if I will ever be able to do this...

Yep!

 

[Montserrat]

Yep!

@TopNotch Do you really really think so? That would be awesome! I will practice.

I'll be away for a few days, it's my mother's birthday today and I'm staying with her until Sunday probably. (She lives quite far away.) I will workout, but won't keep my log since I won't have my computer.

Meanwhile, take care everyone!

 

[Tileenah]

Have a nice trip and happy birthday to your mom !

 

[JCU]

Happy Birthday to your mom!

 

[PetiteSheWolf]

Enjoy your mom, hope she has a good birthday!

 

[Montserrat]

Back again!
@Tileenah @JCU @PetiteSheWolf Thank you, she had a good time I think, which always makes me happy.

Today I finished Shadebound, which was a lot of fun. Tomorrow I think I'll start 60 Days of Walking and Arms of Steel CE. I hope I'll have enough time to do all the walking...

Have a nice Sunday all!

Hi everyone!

Sorry I wasn't around for a few days. Nothing serious, last week I had my mum staying over for a few days, and this coming week I am staying at a friend's house, looking after her cats. I always find it difficult to stick to my workout plans when there's other people around, or when I'm in a different place. Or maybe I should say, those days are just different, and that's ok.

So... I lost my streak, I'm afraid, and while that's a pity, it's not the end of the world. It is not an end in itself.

I'll just continue where I left off, except that I will repeat two days of 60 Days of Walking, in order not to disrupt the program too much.

Now, gotta catch up reading all of your logs...

[Tileenah]

for your neck !
As for the streak, though it is frustrating, you're right, the important thing is to be back

 

[Gandhalfit]

I get it. I can't workout in strange(ish?) places or when other people are around.
At least you were around cats.
And

 

[Fremen]

If you are already in the habit of training constantly, skipping a day or two due to force majeure is not a problem
I saved myself some really easy workouts that don't last more than 10 minutes for the days when I know it will be difficult or almost impossible to train, almost all lv 1 workouts are of that length in general.

 

[Montserrat]

@Tileenah @Gandhalfit @Fremen Thanks for your support!
