weekly workout recap: aug 31 – sep 6

This was a straight forward workout week. No migraines, no drama. Just more of the never-ending home renovation project, and an inexplicably fast-moving clock.  

Sun Aug 31:

Strength: Fitness Blender’s Barre Workout followed by Fitness Blender’s Bodyweight Upper Body Workout

Yoga: Namaste Yoga Benefits of Yoga Series #192: Relaxation and Stress Relief.

House-hunting, beach strolling and hostess gift shopping. Another Sunday, another string of disappointing open houses. The Toronto real estate market is totally cray-cray y’all. $800k for a tear-down. Methinks I’m going to have to look in different areas. But… the beach. I’ll miss it. WAAAAAHHHHH.

While I may not have found a new home, I did find a dorky but cute little hat which will serve to contain my humidity hair in Charleston, SC next weekend. I also found (what I hope to be) the perfect gift for my Charleston tour guide, Andra Watkins, so all in all, a productive day.

Strength: FItness Blender’s: Biceps & Triceps Superset Strength Workout This class featured 6 exercises (3 each for biceps and triceps), performed as 10 reps in 3 sets.

I’ve been meaning to snap a picture of this graffiti, on the side of the building housing the lifeguards’ equipment, right at the start of my Waterfront Trail jogging route, for some time now.

Today, at the end of a 10k loop that KICKED MY ASS, I paused to read it again, “Hey, you look good. Keep it up!”, and smiled.
