Hello, lovely people, and happy Monday! I have all these neat quotes to start the week strong, quotes about challenging and building and becoming, but as I'm on vacation today I thought I would share another good word from our friend Proust.
“The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.” (Marcel Proust)
Yesterday I put these words into action. We wanted to see my husband's sister over the holidays, but our rules say that people who don't live together can meet outdoors, while moving. So we decided to show her our favourite park. It is a huge park that has a forested part, a couple of grassy meadows, and a marsh with a platform for watching ducks, geese and other waterfowl, though all the 🦆 have long since flown south. She lives in a dense and lively central neighbourhood, so the big open spaces were even more impressive to her, and the whole walk was a chance to see an old favourite with new eyes.
Having clocked over 10km walking, I decided to reschedule my lower-body workout, so that came due this morning.
A 5/5! Aïe!!😨😱 With something that intense, I've learned to add a set of Pilates after the warmup. This keeps my knees from clicking during the strength moves. This was my extra warmup:
And it was good. I even made it through the HIIT doing the jumps on everything but the lunges.😮 I'll be putting the main workout in my favourites, since it is rare for me to find HIIT moves that I can do without mods. So it's kind of an NSV.💪 But all of that took more than an hour, so I apologize for starting a bit late today. 😉
I hope everyone is having a good Monday, and that this quiet time of the year is giving you a chance to rediscover things around you.
As always, I want to remind all blenders that everyone is always welcome to jump in, join in and add a comment or two, we would love to hear from you.
