Back from the Dead 🧟‍♀️

[SevenDeadlyExes]

Shaolin Shake Warm up
EotD - 30 count Tree Pose
Day 11 - 10
Post Workout Recovery stretches

Not sure if it's all the core workouts this program has tricked me into, or if 30 mins on my new scooter gave my equilibrium a reset - but I was surprised how stable that tree pose was! Pretty cool!

Shaolin Shake Warm up
EotD - 30 squat hold calf raises
Day 13 - 10

Nah, no beans left in the tin today so;
10 min meditation
Neck Reset
Burnout Recovery

 

[SevenDeadlyExes]

Today I did the thing (Day 14 - 10) and nothing else (workout wise)
I didn't want to skip 2 days in a row, that feels like a fail - and we're doing a big Beltane/Wife starting here new job next week clear out, so I hadn't much energy to spare
Ticked the box tho

 

[SevenDeadlyExes]

Shaolin Shake Warm up
EotD - 40 star jumps (these normally wreck my knees, but I tried to turn my feet outwards when landing to absorb the lateral force so )
Day 15 - 10 ( Weird one today involving lying face down and flailing the arms around - which is a whole mood) I just hope I get those good Season 5 Gabrielle back muscles! (amiright millennial lesbians!)

presumably that actually takes 5 years of intensive bo staff fighting tho
Thing I'll look out some Tao Chi for my Flow Style cool down today

 

[SevenDeadlyExes]

Just some stretches yesterday because I'm in the midst of a joint pain flare (fun!)
Again - didn't want to leave it 2 days in a row so I did day 16 of 10 today to tick the box and not much else (exercise wise - been p busy for a Sunday otherwise)

 

[SevenDeadlyExes]

OK! Monday! Wife is starting her new job tomorrow! Finally got around to ordering a new bed so I'm not getting bed springs stabbing into my ribs all night! TCB baybeee!! Energy!!

Morning Meditation
Shaolin Shake
Day 17 - 10
Morning Lower body Stretches
Corpse Pose for 1 song

Nicely bookended I feel - now to get washed up and ready for a day of decluttering

Gabrielle had the bod every gal wanted. It was right in all of the right ways.

So I've been thinking for the past week or so, that what I'd really like to be doing for my workouts is more cardio and yoga

Lo and behold! I checked out the Training Plans section and their are new plans tailored for exactly that!

So, do I finish out the "10" program that I'm a little over half way through, or switch it out for the new Herald training plan that might be a better fit?

Vote a Red react emoji to continue with10

Vote a Yellow react emoji to switch to Herald

Finish what you started unless you hate it.

Finish what you started unless you hate it.

This is a strong answer and good general advice I reckon - unfortunately it came on abs day

However I also remembered my own catchphrase "¿por que no los dos?"

So I'll try to do both (with my usual cavaet that pushing too hard results in fatigue and injury, so don't do it if ye cannae!)

Shaolin Shake
Day 19 - 10
10 min Cardio
Morning Breath Work

 

[SevenDeadlyExes]

I'm all sixes and sevens today because well long story short - autism

I did a good 20-30 mins Yoga with Adrienne this morning so that's my workout box ticked for the day

I'll try to get my 10 workout in before tea, but it's been a very unusual day and I think I just need some tism time to recalibrate

 

[LiteraryMatcha]

¿por que no los dos?"

 

[SevenDeadlyExes]

OK, catch up post;
Saturday
Badly Burnt out - No workout
Sunday
Still Burnt out, but didn't want to skip 2 consecutive days, squeezed my 10 workout in before dinner
Monday
I had a whole day of heavy physical work to do, saw that the next workout was strength, which last time made my quads sore - so elected to postpone till the end of the day IF there were beans left in the tin - there were not
Tuesday (today)
Back at it after a good night's rest
- Shaolin Shake
- Day 2? - 10
- Full Body Stretches

Shaolin Shake
Day 23 - 10
So Frickin tired! Burn Out is the pits!!

 

[SevenDeadlyExes]

Yeah nah - the burnout caught up with me hard and I crashed out!
I think I managed a Friday but by then my head was spinning and my ears were ringing and I just had to spend a day or so in the dark with noise cancelling headphones on
I tried to get myself going again for Sunday because I'd set a fail condition of not missing 2 days in a row - but I just couldn't manage it

However, by Monday my head stopped swimming (intermittently) and my back was aching, so I knew I needed a bit of light movement and a nervous system reset - so I did a Yoga with Adrienne specifically for that, then this morning I saw a YouTube about the exercises you sometimes see elderly Chinese people doing, and I realised how similar that was to my Shaolin Shake - so I did some of that, and then a bunch of stretches to help release the tension I'd built up over the last few weeks - it was only towards the end that I'd realised I'd actually stumbled into starting the Herald program I'd planned to move on to after I finished the 10 program (or DNF - in this case)

I think sometimes it's the ADHD being inpatient and craving novelty, and sometimes, it's the subconscious reaching up and saying "hey, you really need this" yknow?
