Somehow managed to wake up before noon.

Been mostly spending time playing FF8 again. Working on that “Contrived Finish“ achievement where Squall must not gain any levels AT ALL until you’ve beaten the game in that run. It’s definitely kind of a refreshing way to play the game? :Ic

But as usual. I did get my exercise in.

First, the next DD. It was 60 knee rolls with EC. Definitely a relaxing favorite! Love how this one makes the back feel! :D

Second, Day 27 of DoA. It was an Abs Day and done at Level 3. Happy that I managed 5x20 sit-ups without ever needing to anchor my feet! New PB there. I do admit my counts for the holds did get faster as I went, but I think I still got a lot out of this workout!

Last, Day 20 of DoY. It was “Heart Practice“ and definitely worthy of going in my favorites. Very relaxing indeed. Spent the vinyasas to Downward Dog in Cobra Pose today. Also tried hero pose for a few moments before deciding to sit on my heels propped up at that point in the sequence.

Been thinking about how I might like to spend this next week. I kinda want to press to get mom removed from various accounts (car insurance, etc.) and to archive more of my fitness tag.

Maybe even drawing a self-portrait... since  I was tagged by namlulit (for some reason I can’t mention-tag you in this post?) a few days ago. Might be a helpful and “easy” way to get my art mojo back.

How many challenges are you doing?? I hardly kept up with one 😂

*Snort-* that’s fine, everyone’s in different places, after all!

I’m not sure if you’re all that familiar with DAREBEE, but they’re my primary fitness resource. Been using them since a bit over a year now (started exercising regularly since September ‘15), and were a big gateways for me into the fitness thing (despite the gateway imagery being invoked, what’s comforting is that accessibility is part of their core ethos and they strive against gate-keeping).

I wasn’t totally expecting such a majorly-needed lifestyle change was going to happen when I tried my first exercise program of theirs (if you want a summary/outline of everything. Kid me, who was a stereotypical nerd that didn’t like PE, would be amazed.)

But anyways, what I’m doing right now consists of doing/revisiting DAREBEE’s 90 Days of Action Program, doing these things called Daily Dares, and doing that 30 Days of Yoga Program/Challenge with Adriene (you know this one, obviously). Definitely wouldn’t be managing all of this when I started out, to be sure!

He looks like the terracotta warriors from Xi'an!

That’s kind what I thought too, but I wasn’t sure. I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought that. :)

How exciting! I'm so ready to do that. One more paper to write and then it all gets backed up and stored away!

Ahh good luck!  Only one more at least! (It took me the entire summer to even glance at my uni stuff haha so if you’re ready you must be!)

Hello friend! When you get this, state 5 things that make you happy, and then send to the last 10 people in your activity feed! :)

Go run! It won't hurt you to run 4km at an easy pace (as long as you are overall healthy). I know plenty of people who run 8-10km per day six days per week for decades with no issues.

I'd go for a run! Just listen to your body and I think you'll be fine. You need the sleep.

I would go for a run if I were you. Just run veeery slowly and not a lot. Maybe even less than 4 km, and if you can, run on soft surface, like grass or trail or even track.

namlulit answered your question“Not sure if I should go running again this evening”

maybe swap it for something else that will help you stretch it out and be easier on the joints? Like swimming if you have access to a pool, or yoga?

I eventually went for a run yesterday evening. And this run turned out to be my best run in the past days :DThanks for the advice guys!

Holy SMOKES your tan line prove a lot about how much sunny quality time you get! Love it!

Awww, thank you so much!

Although Cancers are supposed to be ruled by the moon, I’m ruled by the sun. If I don’t get enough sun, I get depressed and moody MOODIER! I definitely spend a good amount of time outside in the summer, mostly working in the yard, not enough just laying out and soaking up rays, thus that tan line. It’s the new ‘farmer’s tan’. .  :)
