Good Behavior: W10 D2/3

We're officially couch-surfing homeless people this week as we await our apartment application approval.  With all the moving around, the stress, and a houseful of friends and children it's hard to focus and make time for my regular workouts.  I've given up trying to fool myself into thinking I'll do it all (it's Friday as I write this and I haven't done anything since Monday).  Instead, I'll utilize their doorframe pullup bar GtG style.  I'll also throw in other exercises when I can or when I remember to, also GtG style.

Good Behavior: W10 D1

The last couple weeks have been eventful; moving back to the mainland, RnR's wedding, got a beast of a cold from the travel and climate shock.  Haven't worked out for two weeks.  Back to it.

Kneeling Pushups
2x30
1x19

Woo!  Feels good!  I love that returning-to-glory feeling.  Rep loss was expected, and I'm really happy that I didn't lose very many.  It was definitely tough to get that second set of 30, but I got it :)

Knee Tucks
1x20
1x15
1x12

I think I have the weakest hip flexors on the planet.  Lost a lot of reps in two weeks, and my hip flexors are destroyed.  Back to work indeed.

Good Behavior: W9 D3

Straight Bridges
1x17
2x15

Wall Handstands
1x49
1x50
1x50

Still well short of the time goal, but I'm getting so much better at the balancing without even trying!  I find myself start to drift from the wall- not in a falling sort of way, but rather drifting into a fairly stable feeling free handstand.  One that I can hold for maybe half a second before I remind myself that I can work on the balance AFTER I get the strength to meet the time goal.

Good Behavior: W9 D1

Pushed D1 to Tuesday this week because Monday I had a lot to do and was exhausted from Sunday fun and short sleep.  I'm still exhausted today after another short night, but I don't want to skip a workout.  Let's see what I can do.

Kneeling Pushups
2x30
1x23

Knee Tucks
3x25

The last five reps or so were a bit wobbly, but I'm counting them.

I feel like I've never progressed so slowly on any exercise ever.  But, there *is* progress.
