#Momsohard



If you are a mom and finding it hard and you get a casserole, probably its from one of the audience of #Momsohard and one of those moms, who figured it all out. You learn a lot of Nebraska too. If momming ever gets out of control, put this on and chill.

Sorry I cant. I have plans with my dog

A nurse told me that in an interview she said that walking with her dog at the park was her favorite activity worrying a little bit, if it was an uncool answer.

Oxycise! Zero-Impact Fitness



Oxycise! Zero-Impact Fitness

What is oxycise?

I wondered what oxycise is all about. Its giving yourself a gift of fresh air.  I just finished Barre Level 1. Cant wait to see how Level 2 gets advanced. I had to do it with pauses. Thats one of the things I like best about this oxycise is that you can take a break and dont have to do it all in one setting. The other good thing being that you can do it on a full stomach. I did this right after eating. There are some days where I have to time exercise and eating and that can get difficult. On the days I miss out on exercise, I am going to try this out. Even within 5 minutes of the oxycise you can feel how light it feels to fill yourself with fresh air, focusing on just breathing. It will clear up your mind and soul.

Author Wendy wood takes you through the wonderful journey of understanding habits.
You learn about lot of Experiments done to understand behavior for rewards, goals and habit fornation.
I like the author's way of making it easy to undestand - eg - an employee saying its already done, how math notations make it simple to understand equaiton and free up brainf or more processing.
What a great finding of 'those higher in self-control didnt experience many unwanted desires' that needed to be resisted.
Good landings are a result of good approaches
HBR thinks you can break bad habit with a simple checklist. Its like Jerry Seinfeld's dont break the chain habit.
Didnt know about the Tobacco coupons, Are the coupons allowed when taxes are increased to dissuade some sales for eg. soda?
Getting fluent at gym - Can the theory of planned behavior predict the maintenance of physical activity?
How a simple if then ritual can help you overcome obstacles and achieve your goals

Quick and Easy Workouts for Beginners



Quick and Easy Workouts for Beginners

Nice wakeup routine. I did the plank, building a foundation. Something about making your baseline better speaks to me. This routine with Eliz perez is simple, quick and fun. It is all the intense exercises you can think of, in a yoga setting. lank, mountain climber, alternate leg and hand reachout, wrist plank to forearm plank. If your body stiffened after a rough night sleep, this is a good way to stretch it. Also, there are waist circles which I have never done before. They could be referred to as seated shakira.

Skeletitos makes the whole what happens after we die less scary, with cute elephant and dog involved. Life's still the same. You have friends and cake.
