This is me, still slogging through my exercise program in my basement. And delighted to have a basement gym. Most days . . .

Introducing tonight’s beautiful sunset colours from Cape Bonavista. Awesome show!!
@weathernetwork #ShareYourWeather #NLwx #bonavista #NewfoundlandI'll be honest, I've been waiting for this change my entire life. I worked hard to get myself out of poverty and I will work even harder to get communities out of poverty. Government dependency will never be the answer for Indigenous people. Look at what it's done to us! https://twitter.com/windspeakernews/status/1559249151560384515
"The police have more important stuff to do than hand out tickets. 'hoods need help controlling reckless drivers & we have a ready-made, proven techno'l sol'n that will...pay for itself. Not every problem...has such a clear solution. This one does. What...are we waiting for?"

"Conservatives put their heads down and get to work. They don’t waste time talking about feelings. They see an issue and seek to solve it. And they are offering solutions that differ from the failed policies of the Liberal government."

I can definitely see your progress in your push-ups! You are much more solid in your core now. As well, I’m very happy to see your physiology approach has changed. The new exercises look promising. How long have you been working with the new approach to balancing the sides?
Heather – Thank you. That’s great. I’m always surprised by how much an observer with some knowledge sees (as opposed to what I see). My trainer can tell by watching my “plank step-outs” from above me and from several feet away whether I have my core “set.” As for the new approach, a few months. Maybe since September?
Hi Isabel,
I agree with Heather that I think the improvement in form in your pushups is very clear. You are much more stable, and your neck is straighter, which is hard to remember to do. Great work overall and thanks for the update!
Lorna
Lorna – 🙂 Thanks! I did notice that my head has stopped trying to help, which might be the same thing as having a straight neck. It’s good to have some video to compare, because every day it feels just as hard.
