Halfway through my workout this morning, Mom cooked bacon. I think she was trying to taunt me. She says she was trying to inspire me to get through it and be done.
So, we are up at Mom & Dad's house this weekend. It's the first time I've done a workout not at home. In fact, I did TWO workouts -- Recovery & Mobility and Chest + Back + Balance & Ab Ripper.
I meant to bring our pull-up bar up with us. I brought the resistance bands and foam roller, and completely forgot the pull-up bar. This meant I had to figure out how to do my modified pull-ups. I tried attaching the resistance bands to the treadmill -- that didn't work. I tried to have John hold the resistance bands -- that didn't work, especially since he was sitting in a comfortable reclining/rocking chair. Mom said, "You might have to go outside." Dad said, "Yeah, and hook your bands on the fence."
So I went outside. John told me it was 30 degrees, and I was pretty sure I was going to freeze because I wasn't going to go put on a shirt. However, the sun was shining, and for the 45 - 60 seconds I was out there doing my pull-ups, I was okay!
I was a tiny bit better on the Superman Banana X with a little more room, but only a tiny bit.
The whole thing was a good test of modifying the workouts to the location I was in. It was also good to find out that the cheating I did the day before didn't wreck my workout. I didn't feel sluggish at all. I guess that's what happens when you go to bed at 10 PM and get up at 8 AM.
