Week 2: #StayHome

I know for some you are on week 3 or week 4 of #stayhome. I didn’t officially start until 19 March 2020 so this makes fully 2 weeks for me now.

Am I bored yet? Absolutely not!!! I have more than enough things to keep me busy. I am hardly using my planner that I carry with me everywhere and have transitioned to my desk calendar where I can write out what I need to get done daily.

 

TAKE PIC OF DESK CALENDAR WITHOUT WORDS ON IT

 

This brings me to what I was up to this past week.

 

Brunching with the Pack

Sunday was kicked off with a virtual brunch with my NCSU friends, Go Wolfpack!!! A few of us actually cooked while others criticized and hated because they were jealous they weren’t eating our wonderful cooking lol. It gave us a chance to catch up, exchange some recipes, and talk about this madness of COVID-19. All in all, we had a lot of laughs.

I’m Laughing At You Not With You…Oops I meant the other way around

I caught up with a girlfriend of mine virtually as well and we had girl chat. Well, really it was just me laughing at her because of the good laughs she was giving me about her life. She knows I love her and she was able to laugh at herself.

 

Netflix and Naps

This week I returned back to Madam Secretary. I really don’t watch a lot of television, so I had no idea that I wasn’t caught up.

I Have To Move

I continued to study the art of motion…exercise that is. I decided to take it back to my 2015-2016 group workouts and go with a Deck of Cards workout. You pick an exercise for each suit in a deck of cards and the Jokers are wild where you additional reps of those same exercises or something completely different. You then flip over 2 cards at a time and complete each exercise

For example, if you have:

Diamond – push-ups

Heart – Squat kicks

Spade – Crunches

Club -Mountain climbers

 

 

 

If you flip over 8 of hearts and 7 of spades, then you will do 8 squat kicks and 7 crunches. You continue through the entire deck until you have finished the deck. My jokers were 30-second planks and 5 of each exercise.

Also, a lot of workout apps are allowing people to download for free during this time. Friday, I downloaded ‘Down Dog’ and returned back to learning Yoga. They are allowing the use of their app until 1 May 2020 with no charge. This is a good time to practice on my own and see if it’s something I truly want to dedicate to. This will be my third attempt at this and I really hope I stick with it this time.

 

Sweet Snack

My favorite snack this week was smoothies. I went on Pinterest and looked up the recipes for my favorite smoothie from Tropical Smoothie Cafe.
