Working out is *fun*.
Tal seems to grok that a) bodyweight exercises are both more appropriate for the shape I'm currently in (ROUND is a shape!) and b) that mixing it up, making each workout different, is the most engaging.
I don't think we have done the same exercise twice yet, barring warmup on the fitness center stairs.

 

bless her. I admitted I didn't do my homework between Wednesday and today (was supposed to do an hour of something cardio and an hour of yoga, oy, that's a lot!).
She asked, semi rhetorically, "what am I supposed to say to that?" in her slight accent.

 

I said mildly, "Say, 'do better next time'."
So she did, exactly so.

 

*smile* I don't know if I will be able to do all of the next batch of homework, she wants me to do two cardio and one yoga (Monday and Tuesday classes I've been trying to attend anyway) so if I can fit one cardio in over the weekend I'll be set.
she also wants me to eat five times a day.
I like how that makes me feel when I do it, so I will definitely try. I'm up to twice today, and I will see how it goes.

 

Balance work is crucial, I was very weak and noodly-muscled when I tried the various balancing exercises Tal asked me to do. Core strength also needs work.

 

well, that IS why I'm working with her. Because I know I need help to get back to a habit of fitness and flexibility.

 

This is the diagnosis phase, where we find out what I'm capable of while simultaneously working to IMPROVE what I'm capable of.

 

Forward Momentum!

I have completed the transcription of my recorder composition.
Granted, it looks like a (very tidy) FIFTH grader hand-wrote it!

but it is all written out, (no thanks to my cat who kept bumping the recorder into my teeth tonight, and who I will go snuggle for her troubles...) and I will take it to choir with me tomorrow and make Mark or Darla play it on the piano so I can hear it, and get corrections for notational form (dynamics particularly) which are simple but I want to write them correctly according to form.

Tomorrow I don't have sub work nor work in the church office, so I will read my three chapters and work on my composition(s) and maybe do some education work on the Kelly website. I don't think I'll get dressed till I have to go to choir. =)
