Tuesday?

Wow, what a time warp, I was all ready to type “Happy Monday” when it occurred to me that it’s Tuesday!  I must be confused because I spent ALL day yesterday driving to and from Charlottesville, having meetings, and getting the house inspected.  It was a long one and the house DID NOT pass the inspection with flying colors like we had hoped so now we wait to see what the seller will fix…

Today IS Tuesday, which means that I get to teach yoga this morning! My sister teaches a gentle yoga class Tuesday and Thursday morning but she needed to attend a funeral today and I offered to cover her class.  I love teaching and it’s been way too long, it’s going to be a fun morning!

Yesterday was a serious rest day, I barely even walked around.  I will just schedule that into this weeks Mission Get Moving…

Week Three

  • 4 yoga sessions
  • 4 runs (at least 35 minutes and a “long run” of 45 minutes or more)
  • 6 days abs/arms
  • 1 cardio dvd or interval workout

Today is a yoga, arms, and either run or other cardio day.

I would like to officially welcome my mother to the wonderful world of healthy living blogs!  My momma started her blog, Weight Change Exchange, after losing more than 30 pounds over the last few years.  Check her out!

Accepted!

Our bid was accepted! We are buying a house (pending the inspection is all good or at least not horrendous)!  Did I mention that the house is freshly renovated, as in BRAND NEW carpet, floors, appliances, fixtures, paint, heating and cooling? Oh yeah.  And did I mention that there are three bedrooms and a big backyard?  Oh yeah.  It is going to be so much fun to unpack all of our belongings that have been in storage for over a year and a half and create a home.

Yesterday was a super hot one and despite many bottles of sunscreen and a few beach umbrellas there was some red noses and shoulders around the dinner table last night.  Whoops.

Due to the heat and the way the day flowed I didn’t hit the sand for a run until almost 6:30.  It was a really nice time to be on the beach, most people had already packed up for the day and the light was really nice.  I was out for 40 minutes and ran at least 35 (there were a few 30 second-minute walking breaks taken).  I finally remembered to bring water along with me and it helped a lot in dealing with the heat and humidity.  I also did a Pilates workout from “10 Minute Solution”, it was a challenge!  I thought my abs might be a bit sore today but no.

I didn’t sleep well last night and the only good thing about that was almost catching sunrise this morning.  By 6:45am, when I got to the back deck, the sun was this high

And there was one solitary dolphin bobbing up the coast.

What a lovely time of day!  And what a perfect time for some Sun Salutations!  I grabbed a mat and did my yoga routine right at the waters edge.  When I do yoga regularly (at least twice a week) my body craves it and responds by warming up quickly and allowing me to go deep into the postures.

Today is our last full day at the beach so I plan on lots of time in the ocean, some long walks, and grilled fresh fish.  A very pleasant way to pass a Tuesday.  Have a great day!
