Good Evening! My hubby is down in the buildings common area for a fantasy football thing he signed up for, eating veggie pizza and hanging out with neighbors. Since I don’t care about football or even understand the whole fantasy team thing, I am sitting on the couch upstairs in my office sipping tea while Thor is grumpy downstairs.
My motivation to move has been very low lately. But, earlier today, I all of a sudden got a lot of energy and I was excited to get my body moving. I went down to the gym for 1 h 25 minutes. If I hadn’t got so hungry in the end I could have stayed longer. Tried to push myself harder today because I had so much energy. Started off as always with a little bit of warmup and then I was on the cross trainer for 10 minutes going so fast that the machine could barely keep up, haha. Then I did things for my hamstrings and abs before I used the more laid-back-bike. I tried that one the other day and discovered that it doesn’t put as much pressure on my knees since I’m in a different angle than on a normal exercise bikes. After 15 minutes of pretty hard biking, my knees got tired and started aching, but I pushed myself to do 20. Might not seem like a lot, but for my knees it really is. I love to bike and want to use my actual bike more, so I need to build strength. Did some pilates; abs, back, arms and legs. And finished with a shorter stretch before I went home to Thor and stretched there as well.
It’s been a good day today and it’s pretty nice to sit upstairs right now just watching youtube videos by myself. And the pink moon is gorgeous! Can’t complain:)
Oh, and now as I was gonna post this, we suddenly got a massive thunderstorm and it’s super crazy! I haven’t seen this much rain come down out of nowhere here before.
