Fun Facts Friday - Random Realizations

I don't really have any news to report. I do go see a hematologist next week. Hopefully we can figure out the cause of the clot. Basically more waiting.

Let's just jump right into Fun Facts Friday. I had thought about doing a running survey that many of you guys have been doing. I may do that one later. But working from home and being pretty much home day and night for 2 weeks now, I've had plenty of time to have lots of absolutely random thoughts.

Some of the fun facts are observations, some completely random with no rhyme or reason. Just for fun ;-)

  • I don't have as many pairs of yoga pants as I thought.
  • I've gotten so lazy that I didn't even bother to do hair or makeup for doctor's visit.
  • It's been a week since I've done my hair and it's kind of nice.
  • It's been a week since I've put on "real" clothes.
  • My dogs behave only if I work from the living room. In the kitchen they act like bickering 4-year olds. No, they won't go to living room without me.
 
  • I ate an entire spaghetti squash myself this week, having it for lunch each day topped with peas, tofu, tomatoes, and spicy hummnut (hummus + nutritional yeast).

  • If I didn't eat the spaghetti squash, it was a sweet potato with half a jar of jalapenos and Daiya cheese.

  • I've grown to utterly dislike Paula Deen's laugh/cackle.

  • While I love Giada, she likes her food way too much. No one makes that many noises when they taste their food. MMMM, ooohhh, mmmm, squeal....it's SO good. 

  • Not running, lifting, kickboxing daily means half the laundry. I knew I did a lot of laundry but this was an eye-opener.
  • I did not do holiday cards this year and feel kind of bad about it each time I get one in the mail. But I've been noticing most cards are family pictures. I kind of miss seeing real cards with real signatures.
 Your turn. What's one random thing from this week?

Workout Wednesday - Body Blaster Tabata

Happy Hump Day! I wanted to thank everyone for their comments on yesterday's post: Be Kinder to Your Body. Calories are Not the Enemy . It sounds like it resonated with many of you. Today I wanted to share a new workout with you. I've been working on interval workouts for some of my clients. I try to give them the most bang for their buck (time). I know that in an ideal world, we would all have time to do longer workouts. There would never be scheduling conflicts, sick husbands or kids, or sick us. In reality, workouts need to be effective and efficient. And they don't have to be lengthy to be effective and efficient either. There's no need to spend hours in a gym to get in a good workout. Interval workouts like HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) or tabata, or even interval running are great ways to get in a fantastic workout in a short amount of time and have many benefits. You can read more about Tabata workouts  here .

Piriformis Update & Grilled Veggie Salad

New Piriformis Exercises Today wasn't too terrible for a Monday. Of course, I did leave a little early. That always helps huh ;-) I had another round of physical therapy today. My PT has been really researching piriformis syndrome and found an interesting article that discusses the use of McKenzie Exercises - typically used for back pain. I have started adding in low back extensions (one of the exercises) but now have a whole new list of exercises to add into my workout rotations. But, if it helps, I'll do it. I also asked her about dry needling (thanks Sarena ), which is sort of similar to acupuncture, but is more about trigger point and intramuscular stimulation. And I'm glad I asked because the timing is uncanny. One of the doctor's in the clinic happens to be going to get certified this weekend. They both believe that I am a prime candidate for the procedure. So we'll see how that goes. Kind of scared because I hate hate hate needles. Have any of you tr
