Dare to be different and learn to be lonely

Had allowed myself a break from fitness for a while, but now that I finally found a good rhythm for this so-called "intelligent" lock-down that we do here in The Netherlands, I'm in the mood for a 30 day challenge again. Here's the work-out I put together for myself for May: a twist to stretch my sides and back from sitting down all day, a calf-exercise to replace all the cycling I usually do to and from work and my favorite low pressure cardio thing that gives my whole body some movement.

I had originally planned to start with 60 calf raises, because they looked quite easy to do... After I had done only 10, I already realized my mistake and I had to adjust the amount of repeats. They turned out to be very mean! I barely managed 30, so I figured that would be a better number to do for the first weeks. I'm hoping the Calf Raises Hold for tomorrow is a good estimate of my abilities, we'll see!

I had lots of fandom things to talk about, but somehow time got away from me, so it's another post about fitness, perfume oils and porn.

For two weeks now I've been keeping up with my Daily Dares: short exercises from 1-2 minutes by Darebee, you can find the whole playlist here. I put that on shuffle to decide what exercise to do. I tweet these random picks every day, so if you want to join in and get encouragement from others who are playing as well, go over to my Twitter.

I will extend my regime tomorrow with floorwork I tried this afternoon: 5 minute ABS Work-Out by Danse_Jin
That video is in Korean, here's a summary: 12 types of crunches, 10 repeats each, do 3 set per day. Go slow, make sure you keep your back flat on the floor. (It helps to suck in your belly:)

Yesterday I wasn't in a good mood and that got even worse after my washingmachine left all my laundry soaking wet, hrmpf. Today was better, I got dressed properly and tested another perfume oil: Novel Ideas for Secret Amusements. Then I was busy with chores and totally forgot to sniff occassionally! First impression is good though, it's a very different scent than I usually wear, not as foody sweet, but a fresh apple kind of smell. Will put it on to work tomorrow.
My washing machine turned out to not be broken, just overwhelmed; I put in a lighter load today and it handled that fine. Lesson learned!
