Daily Check-in: Monday, February 17th

Hello everyone. How are things going for you so far on this Monday? For the USA Blenders, let me remind/inform you that we have President's Day today, so maybe it's a lovely bonus day off or extended kinda weekend for you. If not, someone somewhere can always relate to the woes of a standard, just another Monday.

But our Mondaze don't always have to be so rough. Especially if you make that time for you to get in some kind of workout. Or rest if thats the name of the game today. Either one or both, taking care of yourself is priority, so you can take care of the day and tasks at hand. Or maybe that workout comes at the end of the day to unwind. But no matter how or whenever you do a workout, as long as your doing, it counts.

Today is day 15 of Abs2 for me. Some HIIT & core work and extra credit LB strength. A bit of a longer day, but I'm good for it. Might disagree with myself during, but I'm looking forward to it as I type this.

Also always a thing to look forward to is all the food. Which reminds me of the amazing job our Blender, Magda did ghosting. Job, well punned, there. And certainly made me hungry. I had to eat a little chocolate piece after reading her check-in. Seemed not right if I didn't. I regret nothing.

But what are you eating today? Tell us and fill our brains with ideas for all things nutritious and delicious.

Oh and you might be idly wondering why we are looking at a hole in the ground. This hole here is the front door to a Gopher Tortoise dwelling. They are a land tortoise that live in an underground tunnel kind of burrow that can be upwards to 40 feet long and as deep as 10 feet. And did I mention that they excavate these burrows using only their front feet? Talk about a workout! They live about 40 to 60 years and are not to be disturbed as they are protected and a threatened species here in Florida. I really enjoy every time I see one, so it's wonderful thay my local area has a healthy population of them. Even if I accidently trip/fall into these holes from time to time. It happens more than I'd like to admit.🙈 ..Hah, you'd think my feet could avoid stepping into obvious random holes in the ground. Clumsy me is professional at this kinda thing.

But what we should be professional by now is how to handle our day. Sometimes. But right now we are a gopher Monday. ..Btw, look closely into that hole if you haven't already. She's wishing you a good Monday from the safety of her hidey hole home, and being a true testament that slow and steady can win the race. Although, you should see one of these guys when they are in a hurry. They can really book it when they want to, especially to return home. Can't blame them really; home is a nice place to rush back to.

But take this day at whatever pace you need, and try to have a good day.
