tonight's workout

20 minutes

do as many sets in 20 minutes of

5 chinups ,

10 pushups, and

15 situps

I did seven sets in 20 minutes - i think T did 16?

Mommy modifications: I used 2 loops of surgical tubing - looped around the top of our chin machine - i step into the loops and it gives me a little boost so i'm not quite pulling all my weight - but i'll work up to it again - my baby sister Paige can do chinups now and has the most lovely round little biceps... kind of makes me want to give up and just award her the trophy :) but i will keep on keepin' on...)

and modification #2 - i have been doing real situps lately (for the first time in my life i think!) but i noticed that my abdominal diastasis was opening up a little again, so for the 3rd and all subsequent sets, i did the "organs in place" exercise from TTapp, and then did the abdominal diastasis curls (which basically, you just pull the sides of the ab muscles together to the middle while you do little curls...)

Now T is getting me a treat, and i'm going to finish that homeschool portfolio, just as soon as i find the last errant page protectors in the house - i've used up every single one i had... and i don't want to buy more!
