Today’s Workout
…was actually dictated by what was available, but it felt adequately challenging.
Mainly I just repeat and rotate the same favorites in a variety of set-rep schemes, loading, time under tension, and set-extending strategies. But when the exercises are just listed out, it hardly looks like I did anything.
Sometimes I’ll rediscover an old favorite and bring that in, but it’s been a while since I did something brand new and decided it was a staple. And some of the things other people consider staples, just aren’t that necessary to me at this point. Maybe I’d be hotter if I did them, but meh, I’ll probably survive without.

More Fun at 41? Count on it.
Chris took me out for my birthday and I had the best beer of my life. I’m not really a beer person, but we shared a flight and every flavor was outstanding. They brew it on site. There was a stout, a peach sour, and this other thing that had mango in it. I’d for sure become an alcoholic if that place was within walking distance from our house.
This top is from Spanx and I wear it as often as possible. It does NOT hold you in. Spanx is known for its shape wear, but they also sell basics. The founder, Sara Blakely, was once interviewed on the podcast “How I Built This” and her story is amazing. Someone should turn her life into a comedic mini-series. Fun Fact: Her husband wrote the book, Living With a SEAL, where he talks about inviting David Goggins to his house to train him. Fun read. Highly recommend.
Check out last week’s zit. (Right side lower cheek.) I’m so fascinated by it that I have to tell you how it got there. Here it is: dairy. As you know, my husband has mastered the art of making delicious ice creams. And while they are physique-friendly, they often contain a lot of milk, which is fine… up to a point. Apparently my face has a threshold for dairy, and once that limit is reached, it starts to develop little volcanos. So solving the why-am-I-getting-massive-zits-at-this-age mystery was a fun one to figure out. And it did explode last night. So we (me and my face) are in the healing process.
And we’re going to go with coconut milk as a base for a while.
See the lady in the gray shirt behind me? We started chatting and I’m going to visit her farm where she has miniature ponies and donkeys!
