After pushups and Dancing Warrior 1008 yesterday, not to mention the handstand work I did later in the day, my shoulders are killing me. Not to mention that I *maybe* overdid my wide angle seated forward bend yesterday.

So today, I gave my body a break and just burned a massive quantity of calories. My old friend, TammiLee Webb and Arms and Abs of Steel 2000. I did not do the abs section since today is abs rest day. Only the step-arms interval section - about 5 minutes warm up, 20 minutes stepping, 10 minutes arms with 5 and 10 pound weights, and a really tiny cool down.

Arm weights? You ask. Well. It was mostly triceps, biceps and delts, but yes, the overhead press KILLED.

Sweating like a pig now.

UPDATE August 5, 2010: My son came home from camp sick yesterday, so I had an unexpected "vacation" day. Went out on the deck and did some handstand work (about 10-15 minutes), then came back in and did Heart-Air from Shiva Rea: Daily Energy, and the Seated Forward Bends and Twists on Yoga Shakti. It was a glorious day of yoga, and I felt wonderful, but I also overdid it a little in my enjoyment of the moment. Today, I am suffering from the excess, but not too much.

You are awesome! And awesomely inspiring. When I had little kids, I did nothing but chase them around. *grin* What a great example you're providing to them (and us). Hope you guy is feeling better today.

He's much better, thanks! It was just his GERD, but because we screwed up his breakfast routine it hit him really hard at an unusual time. He was much better by about 1pm, and I probably could have brought him with me back to the office, but by then the storms were on their way and I was like, nah. I'm stayin' home. Gotta say, though, I'm loving this rain every day thing, though I have sympathy for all the people who keep losing their power. *shudders at the thought of loss of refrigeration*

We've gotten more rain in the past four days than we had all through July - it's all gone right past us to you folks up there. I'm envious of the rain, but not of the power outages and tree damage. It's like we're living in every bad natural disaster movie that's been made in the past 10 years, you know?

Blizzards in DC, floods in Pakistan, fires in Russia, oil disasters in the Gulf, riots in Greece - it's the End Times. :/ Or at least the Extremely Anxiety Inducing Times. :D

Wow, you do so much! Go you.

Thanks! Did I mention the 2 hours on the PS3 yesterday. Because in NO WAY did I spend the rest of my time off playing Ratchet and Clank. I would never do that. :D

[shanaqui]

Better than my seven hours on the PS2 playing Persona 4...

Those damned games are seductive. Gotta set time limits! :D

It is my holiday, so I think I'm forgiven, but sheesh.

[muck_a_luck]

Well, then. That's what holidays are for, right? Wasting time on nothing because that's what we want to do!
