I dusted myself off yesterday and worked out. I've been too busy/poor/distracted to go to the gym (I don't really enjoy the atmosphere there anyway) and haven't really gone through the motions for almost two weeks. Spent about an hour on the standing basics and floor basics, then jumped around for 30 min.
My living room is 10'x10' which is not that much space to tear around in. I think space-wise it's good because I prefer being able to do moves from a standing position or with as little setup/distance requirement as possible- plus it keeps my airborne spatial awareness precise. Of course there are a few things I can't do tumbling wise in this room. I can do gainers, but a few months ago I almost hit my forehead on the ceiling doing a back tuck (I have witnesses) and that freaked me out good.
I'm 5 pounds less than my normal weight since I had the flu and I've been trying to get it back. Fortunately I haven't lost any moves besides a few I was inconsistent with and haven't tried for ages (jackknife= gone). Some things I THOUGHT I'd lost from inactivity (Meia Lua Reversão w/ one hand= EMBARRASING CRASH), but I just had to do them 5-10 times and they were back. Muscle memory is a lovely thing. My body remembers how to do them all, just need to reactivate the necessary muscles from hibernation. Thank goodness for that.
WHEE (everything always looks better and higher in a still picture)

My back is still in perfect working order, joy of joys (the lower back and abs are the most important muscles as they hold the body together, screw having a massive chest). I devised a routine to keep the cobwebs from accumulating. Some of my friends have had freak injuries lately, plus I don't want to get comfortably lethargic. 'Tis nice to have long legs, hollow bones, and an aerodynamic head.
Speaking of abs and backs, I absolutely die for women with fabulous midsections. Those are hard to find. I LOOOVE me some abs and backs. Hrahhhallhalhrh. It also means a girl knows how to take care of herself proper.
My allergies are KICKING my ASS. The antihistamine I bought seems to be working, but yesterday I forgot about it when I walked to the bank. My (why is it always the) left eye was absolutely suffering and I had a bounty of snot harvested in my nose by the time I got back. It's no small relief to violently empty your sinuses in the shower.
One thing I've noticed for several years: whenever I walk, my left arm swings normally but my right arm usually hangs unmoving by my side. I wonder why that is. |

Is this why you leave your living room barren of anything?
Pretty much. Nothing else to do with the space as it is.
Ever think of moving your TV and games out there? Of course, Jackarot's falling to the ground will always be a moment of timeless hilarity.
no way, I enjoy my hermit-like solitude.
I like it too... yesterday was like a super-hermit day for me (look at all the entries I posted 0_o)
re: gimpy right arm:
Maybe it's that AZN Badass Schoolboy walk gene, embedded deep within your brain, preventing your right arm from moving. Or something. | |
