Heidi: More Smiles per Hour

[Wayward Walker]

Party complete and dishes washing, everything cleaned up and Vivian playing in the tub.

 

Hey, did you hear about the plastic surgeon who hung himself?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

No. Dude. That's the joke. It's a grammar thing.

If you mean what I think you mean:

 

1. I love your sense of humor

2. I'm snickering over here.

[Heidi]

Yep, I totally meant what you thought.

Keep snickering.

Or,, you know, Mounds, or M&Ms or whatever floats your boat, sailor.

Smile-inducing lunch for today

[Waanie]

Your lunch looks beautiful . Do you really walk that many flights of stairs, like in english a stair consists of multiple steps, right? I'm very jealous of your legs!

~smirks mischiveously~ I like mounds...

[Heidi]

Yep, I totally do -- I live in an apartment complex and I go up three flights and then down five whenever I leave, then up five and down three to get back to my apartment. The boys laugh at me quite a bit. But who needs a gym, right?

 

Now if I could just figure out a method for getting strong enough in the upper body strength. I don't think I could do a pull up if my life depended on it.

[Heidi]

Danced and did crunches while listening to the fit & fun playlist.

Finished up with a minute-plus plank. They might be hard, but for some stupid reason I end up smiling like a fool afterward.

 

Off to go outside (up before down) for a walk around the apartment building.

 

&water,

Heidi

[Heidi]

Finished up with work and am looking forward to reading The Tao of Pooh  again.

3.7 miles and 31 floors so far.

 

When I was checking mail, I noticed a post up on the bulletin board: Free, Take One

There were a bunch of beautiful affirmations hanging from the post, so I took one and taped it to my mirror:
"You are a walking, breathing wonder."

[Terinatum]

I'm late! Sorry Buddy.

Looks good so far though. Tao of Pooh! And the Te of Piglet too right?

I love planks, they are so badass that no matter how long you hold em you feel strong after. BTW >1 minute, super duper!

[Heidi]

Thanks, Teri.

I'm just out of the shower and ready for a glass of wine and a bit of tv with Graeme before bed (we are currently hooked on The Borgias).

 

And yes, Te of Piglet is a fave, too.

[T2sarahconnor]

Just read Pooh and just bought Piglet book. Love the first one. Hope Piglet is as good.

My thought for the night.

A chicken and an egg were laying in bed. The chicken looked over at the egg, took a drag on a cigarette, and said "I guess that answers that question

[Terinatum]

T2Sarah - omg. I'm still giggling! Although I have to admit there was one snort in my initial laugh!

Nice!

[Heidi]

Too funny, T2SC! Thank you for that, and perfectly timed.

 

I'm about to have a meeting wherein I will be going over everything I have developed in the last month, and in which I deeply suspect that I will be told "Hey, great job. You did it so well we can take it from here. Go home. End of paycheck."

 

Think good thoughts for me.

[LittleTurtle]

Sending good vibes your way.   

[Heidi]

Um, wow?

 

The meeting went really well, but I'm left kind of flummoxed,

They don't want a training guide on how to write a test plan. They need a training course on how to improve the consistency and confidence of the product -- using the test plan as a tool to that end.

Woah!  Little Turtle is a wizard!

[LittleTurtle]

[Heidi]

Hooray!!!

But why are they paying clerical wages for this job, then?

 

Going to have to negotiate a raise.

Plank with smile...

 

Me and plank don't get along very well. I know I can do 3 minutes, but I just hate it.

I think it takes too long to do a plank. After a minute or so, I start to get bored?

 

There is a technique to do a plank in shorter time.

Once you plank, you try to pull hand toward feet and feet toward elbow.

If you do that as hard as you can, you'd be dead in less than a minute.

Awesome! And thanks for learning me a new word

[Heidi]

I will say this about the meeting:

It was for an assembly  Vice Presidents, in all their plurality.

 

I have a beautiful write-up, not for public consumption of a forum, nor perhaps for the faint of heart or soul. I'm fatally honest like that.

[Heidi]

And thus it became obvious and clear:

I need my passport, directly.

I like my planks taking their time. 

It's a mindfulness thing.

 

But your planks sound wicked-hard indeed.

Ah, meditative planks- love it! I, however, do not have that kind of patience, so I use v-ups and hollow body for core work.

I think your using the stairs all the time is awesome- what a great way to maintain some functional fitness! There are lots of ways to start building upper body strength with stuff you have around the house. Incline pushups and dumbbell rows (you can use a milk jug to start) can be done by almost anyone. I have progressed from chest-high incline pushups and dumbell rows with a 6 pound weight to regular floor pushups and overhand rows (and chinup and pullup negatives) since starting NF in March. It's great! I know you can do it, too.

Hooray!!!

Congratulations !Yes, definitely a raise.....
