my back workout.

Doggy BridgePlace both hands and knees squarely on the ground. While keeping your abs tight and your pelvis neutral (no excessive arching or sagging), slowly lift the opposite arm and leg off the ground. Extend both of them out while holding your head straight. While lifting the arm and leg, squeeze your glut and do not allow your hips to tilt. They should be square with the ground. Do slow reps (10) at 2 – 3 sets, two or three times per week.

Supermans Lay flat on the floor on your stomach. Fully extend your arms and legs. While keeping your forehead flat on the ground, slowly lift the opposite arm and leg off the ground. Do not bend the knee, imagine someone trying to pull your shoe off your foot as you lift the leg. Your hips should be pressed on the ground and your gluts should be tighten. Do not kick the leg up. (The movement is similar to the doggie bridges) Do 10 reps slowly at 2 – 3 sets, two or three times per week.

Lys has a great question in her LJ and I’m going to propagate it… 🙂

holy moley…

I tried to take a little nap, and ended up falling down for some hours…

yeeeeesh..

body must’ve needed it., but still. from now on, I’m setting the alarm, so I don’t go too long.

“I know you believe you understand what you think I said,
but I’m not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.”

Woo… that sums up lunch meetings so well. 🙂

got a lot of chores done.

Clean the bathroom? Nah. Tomorrow. I’m through.

Missions accomplished –

Vacuum, laundry, including all linens and towels.

Grocery shopping (plus a side-trip to the grove for juice and fruit… the green grocer is gone today!) Including Newt food and sand, toiletries for me.

Played with Newt. (ok, that’s not really a chore at all. 🙂 that’s a hoot…. he loves when I bring home and empty a bunch of bags for him to play in, before I fold ’em up for storage)… he’s got a huge fort set up now, able to jump from bag to bag, sniffing what was in there. even more interesting to him than warm laundry!

As of now, I’m taking a break, probably will Just Veg a bit, and cool down… maybe later I’ll get to play some AOK2 with the sweetheart, if she’s of a mind to.

Currently wearing – black m-1 Abrams t-shirt, white ghi pants, barefoot.

Currently smelling *pretty fresh!

For lunch, a toasted cheese bagel with 2 ice-cold oranges and a large glass of iced tea. Yum.

got some junk food today, but I earned it… no Easter candy! A bottle of RC splenda cola… red raspberry.. I’ll try it after it’s been in the fridge. Also have some stella doro breakfast treat cookies. yum. for the morning, with chocolate rice dream… tasty beverage. Newt gets a fresh container of Pounce! treats.

Maybe a nap later today, too, depending on how bushed I am. Drat! I missed spongebob and the beavers…and forgot to buy a videocassette. Well, I’ll get to it eventually.

Happy Saturday, folks!

By the way, thanks shoo for the lovely earth day e-card! I’ll be sure to recycle the electrons. 🙂
