Exercising

 Intro video


Today I looked at the scale and confirmed I officially gained 10 pounds of the expected covid 19.  Could be worse. I mean, if you haven't gained weight then you're an as...JUST KIDDING. It would be amazing if you didn't gain weight though because that would mean you somehow kept up your routines or weren't drinking, etc. SO Today I worked out. I'm not proclaiming that it will happen again. But here's my routine if you want to try it.

1st I put on my running (walking) shoes and then set off down the road. About 1/10 into my mile I felt the heal pain. It's familiar. It's probably the 3rd time I've tried to wear these tennis shoes but they always give me a blister. I thought I could defy reality this time, but no. I'm mad because they are basically new- but they don't work and I have to get another pair. SO whatever, I walked home and took my shoes off and did a HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) routine that I got from a book.  You know like 20 seconds this, rest, 20 seconds that. I completed the 9 minute routine in about 15 and then made the video that kicked off this post. 

Other aspects of my fitness plan include: Snacking less (or at least better...oranges instead of cookies, etc) AND only getting drunk on the weekends. 

SO there you have it. Will I get more fit? Loose a couple pounds?! Who knows!

Surprise! What did Talie and Ms. Sequitur find? HA I meant Ms. NON-Sequitur of course.... How exciting, a teeny tiny (or tee-niny as my Grandma B says) little critter. A baby gecko is gracing her presence on my keyboard. Check out this amazing video footage taken immediately upon noticing the gecko/lizard/cold blooded animal: PS: I made it to work today. I continue to do a Christian Cross each time I arrive somewhere. If anyone knows another religious type sayings I can do or say when I am safe, I would appreciate it. I'm not sure if Jesus and I are vibing.  BIG HUGS Non-Sequitur!

SATURday

In the Park...I think it was the 4th of July. (Think that song by Chicago) Well, it's the 7th today- So how was everyone's 4th? How do you feel about your independence? I was thinking about that-- how come we always say, "Happy 4th!" and not "Happy Independence!" Wouldn't it seriously be an adventure if we were still part of England? Maybe we'd all have British accents and Canada and the US would all be like one big country. Maybe we'd all have health care? And calling my Canadian friends wouldn't be long distance! Yesss! Pets are so much work. Man, I'm babysitting these fish and they are exhausting. I mean, I have to feed them TWICE a day. Come on! Hee Hee. :) I suppose that's why I murdered my fish in college...I mean I didn't murder him/her I just forgot to feed him/her for like a week or so and then he/she died. Do fish REALLY have a gender? No. They are all just fish. Fish sex (sex like making love) would b...

Whoa! What a cool place this Mutinondo  was!  It is is a woodland, wilderness area NORTH EAST of Lusaka about 10 hours by bus. (Sorry about the yelling, that is a little shout out to my friend, you know who you are) (Also,  let me know if the link doesn't work) There were these gorgeous look-out points and mountains....well, large granite hills, but they were steep enough and we climbed up 2 of them. It took about 30 minutes to get to the top of each.  In the top video I'm reaching the top of the mountain!  You can hear our cool driver Mr. K cheering? :) me on!  These photos are in no order exactly, but I'll talk a little about each one! I think this one is on top of the first mountain, called Charlie's Rock This is horse poop (I know you are supposed to say scat in the wilderness, but I think horse poop is funnier. The place has some horses that we didn't ride) The view. Whoa. A little creature roaming around. He was furry and I wonder ...
