These are the last few days Papa L, Little Bear, Baby Tiger and I have here in Southern California before piling ourselves, our suitcases and a behemoth of a double stroller onto a Lufthansa flight back to Austria, so I'm trying to take every opportunity to appreciate all of it. The retro blue glider and vibrant yellow patio umbrella on the sun-soaked patio certainly contribute to that goal, as well as the local gym's sparkling lap pool. :)
But, perhaps one of my favourite parts about weekends and Sunday in particular is the simplicity of the day. At least for my family, Sunday is a day filled with a whole lot of, well, nothing. "Nothing" meaning no strict schedule to speak of, simple meals, a lot of reading and down-time and just generally relaxing and enjoying company.
And, now, the beginning of a new week's PiYo routine.
Papa L and I already completed our scheduled workout for the day; call me crazy but Papa L and I can already feel an increase in our flexibility and balance! For most of my life, flexibility hasn't been a particularly big issue...until I experienced having two pregnancies in less than twenty months. Talk about a lack of flexibility! Attempting to touch my knees was a challenge, let alone even imagining touching my toes! And Papa L...well, he's 6'5, so there's a substantial distance to be covered before his hands reach his toes, as you can imagine. But it's SO exciting to be experiencing results so rapidly! I can't wait to see where this next week takes us...other than back to Austria, of course. ;)
How are you spending your Sunday?
