Happy Fall Back Day!

Today for my 44, I used my step in it’s normal home against the wall (usually I move it to another room).

I did triceps dips with my toes stacked like this –

I don’t have full pictures because I live with 2 teen-age boys who like to sleep in (and it’s drill weekend so Chris is at work!).  I did 11 reps, then switched my feet –

I switched the feet every 11 reps so I did 22 with each foot on top.  Having my toes stacked made the normal triceps dip a little more challenging!!!

The boys and I did a different kind of 44 yesterday!!  We spent 2.5 hours raking and bagging leaves.  This is actually a little over 44 bags –

Talk about a work-out!!!  My back is feeling it today.  Jordan just got up and said his back hurts, too!!!  (Kind-of makes me feel better to know that I’m not the only one who is sore!)

Growing up I always hated the fall time change because it meant I had to be inside earlier.  As I’ve gotten older, I look forward to this time change – an extra hour of sleep!!!  (not that I usually sleep but at least we aren’t losing an hour!)

And – I’m happy that, at least for a few weeks, it won’t be dark when I take the boys to school!!!

Happy Sunday!
