Our Trip to the Palace

Today’s 43 was hard!!!  I used a simple barstool –

Using the stool – I did a decline push-up!!!  It was tricky getting my toes onto the stool without the thing toppling over and killing hurting me!!

I had to stop for a couple minutes after I completed  the first 28 and rest before doing the last 15.  (I asked Jordan if he could do any and he did 5!!!).  After Jordan’s awesome push-ups I got set up and finished the  set of 43.  I’m counting it as a complete 43 even with the short break because I did them all!!!

Then – I WORKED OUT!!!!  It wasn’t much and definitely not my favorite but I did it!!!  I used the Elliptical today.

I just did an easy 30 minutes on it to see how it felt – not bad.  My legs got really tingly after about 20 minutes but I think it is just because I finally got blood circulating through them for the first time in 2.5 weeks!!  I’m just happy to get some movement and work up a bit of a sweat!!!

So, yesterday, Chris and I took a little day-trip to a Palace!!  Here are some scenes from the drive:

Are you totally disappointed with the Palace trip?  It’s a funny name for a place that butchers cows!  But, Chris and I had a nice drive (it’s just over an hour each way) and came home to restock the freezer!!

full again!

And,  I even put on real clothes (as opposed to workout clothes which is what I live in these days!!):

still rocking the compression hose - they make the outfit for sure!!

So, if you ever visit Kansas, make sure you check out the Palace!!!

Happy Saturday!!
