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:

driving through the country — more of the countryside

And, finally, the Palace:

What kind of Palace were you expecting??? I live in Kansas!!

We went to pick up our side of beef for the year – at the Palace!!!

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!!
