🧘🏼‍♂️🤾🏻‍♀️Getting Sweaty Again: The 3rd Circuit 🚴🏼‍♂️🏋🏼‍♀️

[Cat]

I haven’t. But what about a savory “smoothie” ? And at this point, I’m wondering if we are now just making Lentil soup?

Again.. I do like my daal, I love my veggie soups..

The whole idea with smoothies.
- I think I am too lazy.

Idk. i mean, technically, it should be okay. I guess. *bites nails*

And at this point, I’m wondering if we are now just making Lentil soup?

I just feel like beans and lentils are beyond the smoothie pall.

I like all that stuff, too. And hummus. Nothing is more of a pain to clean out of a food processor than hummus.

True.. but cost-benefits adds up! I can make hummus for days, suddenly that makes it worth it.

Did I mention that I am rather lazy when it comes to housework?

Heya. I’ve been kicking some serious ass at the gym. It’s been really hard for me to lose weight on my meds and I finally lost a little bit. This is a hectic time of year so being able to keep most gym and workout days is difficult and important.

I’ve been tracking all (ok, most) of my food and I don’t know how people eat all this protein. I’m mostly plant based (plant forward? What a pretentious term!) so it’s A LOT of work. I don’t do smoothies, @Love_Is_Blonde. I do clear protein drinks or add a fair life to my espresso. I’m so happy clear protein became a thing!

Homemade pistachio butter. Ohhhh man!!

 

[Cat]

Homemade pistachio butter. Ohhhh man!!

Okay.. that sounds so yummy, that I would be willing to try it!!!

 

[QuietCanadian]

I'm not as weird as I thought, this is a big day.

My blender has a cleaning cycle/is dishwasher safe, I've got the silly straw chimney sweep, cleaning everything is still really dumb.

 

[SimonSex]

I don’t do straws with smoothies. Sure, some residual material is left hugging whatever I pour it into, but I tip it back.

It’s Abs Day​

DUN DUN DUUUNNNNN

How do you exercise your core? Crunches? Planks? Something else? Are you good about it? (I am not). “They” say that the core is what one should exercise every day. Agree or disagree? I heard that Britney Spears used to do 1000 sit-ups a day.

That’s all I got , crew.

What say you about Abs Day?

 

[QuietCanadian]

Pushups are where it's at. I know it's more than core but that's why they are great, you get more bang for your buck and I'm all about minimizing effort, see the smoothie straw cleaning conversation for more on that.

 

[AveryElle]

It’s so good but also when you see how much sugar you need….look out! But way cheaper than buying it. I’m a slut for pistachio so it’s worth it to me but I don’t make it often.

Abs & Core

- planks
- crunches
- sit ups
- sit ups with bicycle kick
- modified siit up/ leg lift with 5 lb. ball
- this thing at the gym

 

[Cat]

Abs.. well, I do actually train them daily. The regulars, but not excessively so!
Mostly I prefer to incorporate my core training in my daily workout routines. (We are back to my cost/benefits thing, I prefer to be as efficient as possible.)

Today way "Cardio core and abs" and a bit more regular abs and core, without the cardio.

Thank you for sharing this, @Cat. And for more reason than just the beauty of this video . It is also so helpful to see different ways to exercise one’s abs.

Typically, I think of sit-ups and planks, but there is so much more to it. I remember when I first started working with a particular personal trainer, he would constantly remind me to engage my core during every move. Everything I was doing. It helped my form when I was lifting or when I was stretching certain ways. It is something we can work all the time.

Today is Sweaty Saturday​

It’s going to be a stormy Saturday here! May have to rethink my plans for today. I was going to try to go to the mountains for a little hike. We have some gorgeous waterfalls near here but probably not the best place to be during a storm. What is your plan for today?

If you feel like it, snap a pic and share it here for Super Sweaty Saturday!

 

[Mei5ter]

It's pouring with rain here too, and we don't have the waterfalls as compensation

I'm going to start by stroking my cat to lower my blood pressure, and take things from there!

 

[SimonSex]

I may be in your neck of the woods @Love_Is_Blonde, so it’s an at-home workout: spin cycle, stretch & dumbells.

 

[Cat]

Did my training, did a lot of practical chores, did all the adult stuff.

The weather.. while I would love to go outside, it is just too windy, and as my face is still healing after that silly 2nd sunburn, well - The wind would not exactly be good for my skin (yes, I am getting a serious case of cabin fever )

So, I have been a bit in the garden.. and now drawing.. butterflies.. my least favourite subject!!

Hope everyone is having a pleasant.. Even good Saturday!

You literally live in a wonderful Disney cartoon world!

......Yeah, it is kinda like a fairytale.

There once was a girl..

......Yeah, it is kinda like a fairytale.

There once was a girl..

There once was a girl
Who had a little curl
Right in the middle of her forehead
And when she was good
She was very very good
But when she was bad
She was horrid - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Oh wait… that’s me smh

 

[Cat]

There once was a girl
With big bright eyes
She liked a little bit of this
And so very much of that
The creatures of the forest
All thought her to be good
But she preferred to be...

Or.. Well, not really.. just sometimes.

You are an endlessly tempting forest nymph!
