30-minute gentle seated yoga with Kassandra - I'm super struggling with a swollen lipoma and movement is painful, so I'm doing whatever little bit I can
And that was a wrap. That "lipoma" was actually a cyst that burst and it was agonizing for a few days. Not great stats this month, but it is what it is. September will be better.

Does anyone else have a fun excuse like "I had a painful cyst" for not working out enough last month?
A cyst! That's what that was. Aiee. Sounds painful.
ReplyDeleteOh, it was painful. But now it's over, so I have no excuse to avoid exercise!
DeleteSo what happens when a cyst bursts? Does the situation eventually resolve itself? I hope it feels better now.
ReplyDeleteI went to Youtube and looked at a couple of Sydney's workouts- they look good! I'm going to try one.
Ummm...the cyst bursting involves draining for several days and a LOT of hot showers, warm compresses, and ibuprofen. It's mostly resolved, but wearing bras can be dodgy.
DeleteSydney is great! I think you'll like her.
My excuse is I'm lazy and I just am not feeling the exercise game. I walked a lot in August on vacation, but I'm hoping to up the ante a bit by doing in-person yoga classes twice a week. My first one is tomorrow and I am NERVOUS. It's my first in-person yoga class in like 18 years and I'm sure I'll feel foolish but everyone must start somewhere...
ReplyDeleteThat lipoma sounds awful!
You're not lazy! You're just not prioritizing it and that's FINE.
DeleteNo one will even look at you in the yoga class - they're too busy doing their own stuff! It's going to be GREAT.
No painful cyst, BUT I am on a really strong abx this week that can cause tendon ruptures and need to dial it down re: workouts. YIKES.
ReplyDeleteSO SCARY! Who even knows what "dial it down" means, right?
DeleteI'm sick again, but my husband is away so I forced myself out to walk the dog yesterday and it was nice, and I am determinedly doing yoga throughout the sickness even if I snot all over the mat, and I think it's making a difference.
ReplyDeleteSnot all over that mat! LOLOLOL. What a picture you have painted for us. I do hope you stop being sick soon.
DeleteI'm noticing a lot of longer sessions and double sessions in a day this month (I think?). Go, you!
ReplyDeleteI don't have a proper excuse... but the start of school has severely cut into my available time for physical activity. My preferred mode is to go on long meandering walks, and I just don't have time for that on my schedule anymore...
I started August with the very best of intentions to start to work on my endurance. Alas, that went nowhere pretty quickly.
DeleteTime is tighter here, too. *sigh* I'm lucky to squeeze in 30 minutes a day these days. I have got to figure out a better system.
I have never been to a "real" yoga class, like at a yoga studio. I have done some of the free yoga-ish classes at the gym, but those are not in the actual yoga studio there and are I guess more of a mix of like stretching/ flow type stuff. I haven't been lately but I did enjoy them! It just doesn't really fit in well right now.... although, I really need to do more stretching/ yoga, so I wonder if doing a scheduled class would actually be a good idea. Inspired by I think Elisabeth last year, I have done some Yoga with Adrienne videos and I have enjoyed them! She's got a nice calm nature that I've found soothing. And her cute dog. :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome job on all your movement and activity despite being a tough month. I love the variety!
There used to be a yoga studio in our town. It was a casualty of COVID and dodgy views on vaccination by the studio owner. I really miss that studio, though. I could pay $125ish a month and go to unlimited classes. AND! AND! It was a five minute walk from my house. Oh, well. The good times don't always last. And I do yoga at the student union, the community center, or at home now and never get to a studio. You don't need a studio!
DeleteOuch, that cyst sounds painful, but I hope it's all gone now.
ReplyDeleteI love that you're doing yoga in the student union. Good for you for keeping at it.
The cyst is mostly gone at this point and thank goodness for that! I can resume regular working out.
