I love those clementines.

This is brilliant!

Wow - installing lights is an unsolved mystery for me, my bf has to do this for me. I learned how to install a dishwasher this year - mainly because I threw the installation guys out of the apartment because they wanted extra money when I had already paid for installation beforehand. Couldn't get my dad on the phone, bf's dad told me he never installs anything that could cause water damage, so I watched YouTube videos for hours before actually starting LOL

This is so something that I would do lol. Glad you got it installed, and hope you got money back...

Happy New Year!

thanks for the new years wishes daejamurrachan! Right back at you. I was asleep LOL.

Ate all the junk in the universe yesterday, to get it out of my system I guess/hope.

Wanted to start Full Circiut (altho I might not do it on lifting days, we'll see) but day 1 was all pounding and neighbor pissing off. (This is a quibble of mine, not just with this site but w a LOT of "do anywhere" workouts. You cannot do a workout that involves stomping/jumping when you have downstairs neighbors in an apt building.) So going to do days out of order, as per usual.

So, Day 2

With minor pauses to drink water, open window bc apt was boiling, and turn on stove to cook my hard boiled eggs.

I do cardio workouts barefoot on a yoga mat when I work out at home, but it really depends on the building I guess. Our downstairs neighbors have two handbag size dogs that bark a lot and scratch on the door like crazy when someone enters the building, so maybe they are more willing to accept some stomping

Hey, great job on the light fixture install!

And you're right, 550 sq ft is a totally different ball game. Good luck with the stuff sorting!

Great job on the workouts, as always! Happy New Year!

I do this too--mostly out of convenience. (There's nothing but dirt underneath the room I work out in, but yoga is always part of my practice, so it's more time-efficient to go barefoot on a mat for the whole thing.) But also to keep my feet strong and healthy. (A goal I have consciously had since childhood.)

i also do cardio barefoot and sometimes on a yoga mat at home too. my feet were one of the areas i note needed the most rehab after my cast. obviously can't go to the weight room at the gym barefoot but i can do my workouts at home that way.

I think I just have a super picky neighbor, maybe, bc I consider barefoot on yoga matt a given. Once I replace current floor w cork laminate I'll see, but, that project is a ways away.

Today was not a good day to be living in my head, lol. Had a generally low power day trying to lift, and was just miserable w/r/t self image to the point where I had to remove glasses bc watching self wobble and jiggle through high knees nearly brought me to tears. Whatever. Yes, I have a lot of work to do. But I'm fucking doing it, so no sence berating myself, it won't make it work faster. It took 6 month to get into this mess (weight regain), getting out won't be instant.

Also I may be fighting some illness. Nose is runny and I've needed extra sleep.

Day 1 of 1&1 was successful yesterday, I even marked out calandar to see where I need to double up bc of a planned lunch date w a friend (which thankfully also puts me on a carb day for cousin's wedding).

Anyway...
A low powered Nia day
3 scapula pulls, scraped that. Went to
3x8 trx inverted rows

incline bench
3x45x5 but super mindful of full rom

Rack pulls
1x45x10, 1x135x5, 1x185xfail, 2x155x3, 1x135x5, 1x46x10

Day 1 Full Circuit, some high knees were less then high.

I notice this with my high knees sometimes too!

mine sometimes end up being more like march steps.

Lol CODawn and daejamurrachan. Mine became "jog in place" but, meh, that's the lv I could sustain for the given time so, so be it.

Today my 15 mins continuous will be from painting celing tyvm. I am on a manic spree of trying to fix up my apt.

But I did Full Circuit day 4 (bc jumping jacks were in 3) to get some actual training

The white paint I got to do my bathroom/celing/base coat on walls eventually with... is not the same white my celing was/is. BUT.... 2 shades of white is at least nicer then plaster and chipped paint and water damage showing >.> Almost got so annoyed that I quit working but stopped a moment to assess. I am not going to move every fucking thing in my home in order to paint entire fucking celing at least until spring when my building gets a dumpster outside for us all to use for spring cleaning so that I can dispose of "extra" shit as I move/find things. I would like to not be looking at chipping shit for the next few months, even if the color is off a bit. I need to fucking stop letting my inability to get things done "perfectly" stop me from even trying to at least make them a bit "better". In my apt, in my job, with regauds to diet/fittness/body image, pretty much in my entire life. So, I think that is my resolution this year. (Can still make resolutions on the third, right?)
