Lazy life right now. Breakfast was very early, son's morning text before leaving for work came at 5.30. So I thought to myself, self, I thought, breakfast in bed this morning. Buttered toast, pot of tea.
That pot holds about a cup and a half of the matching mug. Like a big breakfast cup.
The tray, sheet iron, was a very good street find. It had been put out for the recycle, rejected by them, not tin nor aluminum, so it came home with me. This is a high end find -- in a gutter in what the media calls affluent western Princeton! Only the best.
It had a horrible faux colonial decoration, so I applied one of my all purpose remedies -- sprayed it white. I like it because it's big enough for everything you need.
And when I get up, plans include playing music, making a bit of art, possibly finishing up an Izzy doll or two, but let's not get carried away here, and a new exercise program I just found.
I've been a slacker on my weight training for a while, and this is interesting stuff, to get back into it. I've been doing weights pretty steadily for over twenty years, and I'm pretty sure it's helped me avoid joint pain, stiffness, and other ills.
It also makes a person feel stronger and more capable in all kinds of ways. So I'm going to give this program a try. It's HASfit on YouTube. And it's done in a chair, gentle theme today.
If you're limited in mobility, this shows adaptations, and the recommendation came from a Twitter friend who has severe physical limitation and pain, and finds this approach doable.
You just do what you can. A friend of mine after her husband died, wanted to get back some fitness, after a long period of stress and caregiving, so she consulted a personal trainer.
They did a preliminary session to establish her current level, at the end of which the trainer said, well, about your core. You haven't used it in years! So they started by finding it. I think she's using it now.
So that's today's ambition: use my core! I know it's around somewhere. I had it a minute ago.
