Pass day 3. Oh well, it is birthday month!
Today was just too cold (and we don't have central heating in South Africa) so I stayed in bed with series and ate whatever I wanted.
Sunday is jiu jitsu again and then I'm off the whole week so I will be catching up of various admin and some articles I want to write plus some birthday shopping and activities. Birthday bonus is paid on Wednesday so I can get a few things before I go back to work on my birthday Monday 20 July (by choice, because work is fun and I get to play with all the animals).
Monday is my 1 year kidney donation check up and I got my test results back. Very happy with the numbers that are well within ideal ranges and the same as my 6 month results so it shows that my kidney function is stabilised.
@ajdveganajdvegan That looks amazing. Ocean kayaking is on my to do list and the photo motivated me to check out the option to go this week and I discovered they have a special this month so I get a discount. And Friday looks like amazing weather - perfect birthday present to myself! If it goes well, I am very tempted to buy myself one!9 -

What fun ! Very inventive way of advertising I must say . Saw the Night Watch again last year on a trip To Amsterdam. They were digitising it so it was surrounded by cameras but still an astounding piece of work !A flash from the past (2013 to be precise)
Not quite your usual Saturday afternoon at the mall in Amsterdam ...

The next Youtube entry after that one was "how they made it" (behind the scenes stunt-rehearsal, costumes, lining the horses up etc etc (in Dutch(?) with subtitles)0 -

I think I feel more drawn to Pilates than yoga and I found a 10-minutes Morning Pilates Balance video by the same lady. I will try starting my work-day with this each morning for a week and see how it goes.1 -

@BMcC9 Yeah, the Pilates vs yoga debate seems to be a personal one to me. I know some people argue about the differences but I think you should do the one you are most comfortable with. After all, you will do it more often if you prefer it.
Maybe it's because Pilates originated as almost "preventative physio therapy" for professional dancers - about mind-body awareness of proper alignment and bio mechanics and self-awareness as you move. Yoga I can see as perhaps something for later, for the flexibility alongside mental mindfulness.
As you say, the the one perfect type of exercise in the world is the one you keep doing!1 -

I'm out of the challenge.. today was a tough day, didn't have the energy to exercise in the morning, then my roommates started drinking and made a ton of sushi (my favorite food), and I basically gave up. But I will continue with this month's challenge to help building the habit and maybe stay in the winners circle next month 2 -
@manoelabrito7 - it’s great you are staying in. I’ve been doing this since January and have never made it to the winners circle. I am getting closer though. My 5-6 pass days a month are way better than my (what would have been) 20+ pass days per month. Onward and upward.2
