My sleep has went down more and more each night so I am dragging. Today I did Cathe Live 83 Crush It Low Impact, 35 minutes, 144 calories, heart rate 11/159, 2911 steps. I went bak awhile later and Did Walk Strong 3 Deep Stretch, 32 minutes, 32 calories, 70 steps. Total time was 67 minutes 176 calories, 2,981 steps. This was really a lot like Ice Low impact Sweat cardio. I did not use the mat. I hate trying to do cardio around a mat. I end up getting my foot caught in the silly thing. I also did not do overhead moves with the dumbbell even though they are light. My heart rate dropped out a lot on my Fitbit today.
It looks like lots of zoom classes tomorrow along with written and video work. The teacher was sick today and yesterday so we did not get lessons till this afternoon and scrambling to get it figured out and done since the teacher was not going over it. I did the first workout then checked for work or zoom. I went ahead and did the things we were going to submit later and went back to stretch and shower, then it got really busy. I heard on the news that they are talking about opening schools near the end of this month. I think short weeks dividing the classes to smaller groups with masks. I am not sure about the 6 year olds and young ones keeping masks on. Gosh, my grandson sits here at the table during zoom and his hoodie is pulled over his face or his head disappears inside the neck of his t shirt. He used a third of a bottle of my hand sanitizer yesterday trying to clean glue stick off of his hands after playing with it while I took a bath. My table, and bathroom had glue stick all over them. Oh, and my husband's end table was all sticky and suspect. Fortunately these are washable glue sticks. Yesterday was not a good day LOL I can look at some humor in it all, but at certain moments it is not funny. Like the marker on the wall behind the fort we built him with my puzzle mats and step bench. Today I realized a bottle of hand soap was emptied. Hmmm!. At least it is soap and his hands are clean. This helps get out of school work for awhile
. I see other children doing stuff or being pushed to do work and think I hope this kind of stuff does not happen to the teacher. Probably not as bad as there is some sort of order in the day that is constant in a class with others doing the same thing. Plus interaction with actual live children in class is probably much more fun than an adult hovering saying here is a pencil and I need you to get busy.
Cathy, I had to laugh too when I read egg whites. I don't have any egg weights, I just use light dumbbells. I could use my handheld sand weights. Your walks at the zoo sound nice and calm
Gertie is okay. She just had to get back used to being on leash and the fence not being there. She is happy now that it is finally up.
Carolyn, I have been lightening up on the workouts and shorter as well. Partly because of pain and partly because I am tired and do not have that much time. I bet that recipe will be yummy. I have not done much with recipes lately. I like to cook, but just have not put together ingredients for a particular recipe. I made a stir fry curry veggies from Taylor farms, but made my own curry sauce since theirs had sugar and carrageenan in it. I cooked up some chicken in the air fryer the day before and used some diced up with the veggies. That is as close to a recipe as I have been in a long while.
Valerie, I am not real good at taking an extended break. A day here and there and maybe shorter workouts maybe. Today was half stretching. Even if I get a workout in, I don't have a lot of time for the stretching that I need. I bet you are happy that you got your hot water heater installed. It is easier to use the Kitchenaid spiralizer than the manual one. Also it really requires picking the right shape and size vegetables to get the whole thing to spiralize nicely. When I use potatoes or sweet potatoes I need them to not be long and to be fairly well rounded evenly. Otherwise even with the Kitchenaid they hit bumps and things and then it may catch and be either off set or the end that sticks into the potato while turning will keep moving and dig a hole in it. I can choose pretty well. I end up with about a half inch slice at the end and I just chop it up and cook it. Carrots are something I have given up on spiralizing. It is too difficult to find a thick enough carrot to do that. I have tried and used what I got, but definitely too much work. I have used parsnips which are great when made in crispy spirals, but they are the same way in difficulty as carrots. Works awesome for apple slices and peels at the same time. Makes pies and crisps easy and quick.
Judy, I bet it will be nice to have a weekend off. I miss my husband having weekends off. I wish they would get someone hired so he can go back to his 3 day weekend that he had.
Lori, that is very thoughtful of your friend to get tested before visiting. I bet you are worried since someone from your work tested positive. I know that you will really enjoy the visit. So, are you working from home for now?
