August Check-in ***Everyone's Welcome to Join In***

Today was the 40-minute Pink Firm Total Body Toner with Allie. I don't know how long I've had this one. Last night I ordered a copy off eBay, but I had that feeling... Was too lazy to go to the other room and check. This morning found out I already had a copy. The eBay version was around $4.00. I don't know how they can sell them so cheap. I messaged that I wanted to cancel because I already had a copy. We will see.

I did Active Restoration Yoga class 1 today. It was much harder than I expected, but very good in details. I ordered her book so I’m hoping the book will be even more explanatory. 

I don’t write down my dog walks, but I do them several times a day, and I think they count as exercise. Now that my yoga 40 days are over, I’m trying to decide if I should continue or start adding in some other stuff again.

Rhbrand- no sleep is just awful. Maybe the nap messed you up?

Karla - ugh, I hate getting duplicates! It doesn’t help that many were repackaged so you’d think you were getting something new.

Sick again today. I think it’s food poisoning. I made some hamburger patties from the store. Last time I got sick, I’d had two as patty melts. There were two left and I had the other two last night. Same thing, sick this morning. Nobody else was sick and I’m the only one who consumed the hamburger. I will never buy this brand ever again. So… my workout consisted of running to the bathroom. I still had to work this afternoon though.

So… my workout consisted of running to the bathroom. lol. That's a great one-liner :-) Hopefully, you got all your steps in for the day. Seriously, I do feel for you because I've been there, and it was miserable. I hope you're feeling better today.

I was too exhausted from lack of sleep yesterday to do a workout. My pup always has to use the restroom around 3 am. I have to get up and walk Buddy and his sister out in the back yard on a leash. We live near wood and I worry about critters in the yard. Then my senior decided (about 1/2 hour later) that he had to go out which got my pups going and they wanted breakfast. It goes on, but I won't bore you. I can't fall back asleep easily once I wake up.

Today was the Firm Fast & Firm Upper Body with Janet Brooks. I also did Yin Yoga 💛 50 Min Lower Body Deep Stretch with Cheryl. Since I started doing her practices, my knee pain has disappeared.

Karla - I have an 8-year-old female who has to make random potty runs at 3am. I have to watch her because my yard is not fenced and we’ve got critters around, so I get it when you can’t go back to sleep.

As I mentioned in the General thread, I flared up an old hip injury while doing a yoga dvd. It was day after the second food poisoning incident and I probably wasn’t well hydrated as I thought I was. Well, I’ve got a pull or cramp in the hip that I suspect has a partial labral tear. Long story, but 5 years ago I had someone push me from behind in a straddle stretch and my hip joint popped complete with electrical feeling to the toes. It took me a full year to get the strength and range of motion back. Looks like I’ve got to re-do. 😞

Oh, a friend showed me video of her husband passing out in their kitchen due to dehydration. He fell into a chair and then hit the floor, all caught on video. He’s okay, but docs believe it’s definitely dehydration. Scary.
