Back to XBX and my co-pilot

Last time I tried XBX, I really screwed it up. Instead of doing the required number of repetitions in 2 minutes, I did as many reps as I possibly could in 2 minutes! No wonder I couldn't walk. The number of reps in the lower levels are really, really low. But that makes sense because the program's designed to ease you in.

I also had help. Here's my gym partner.

Chloe actually tried to contain herself, but by the time I got to the end where you run in place and hop, she couldn't take it anymore. Her little brain exploded. Movement! On the floor! Jumping! So I followed up by wrestling with her for a little bit.

She also helped me re-organize my kitchen cupboards.

A couple summers ago, I tried a gluten-free diet to see if that helped with symptoms from my chronic illness. Not so much and the diet itself is a real pain in the ass. People who must follow this diet have my respect and sympathy. As part of the diet, I had bought different types of flours for making bread. These bins were just taking up space in my hutch. So I dumped them out. Chloe thought that was great. All the flour made a tasty dust in the air.

Later, she helped me with all my bags from the Bulk Barn. I've been lax about labelling things as I buy them there. So I had mysterious bags and jars of powders and seeds. Most I ended up throwing out. Some I poured into jars. Chloe cleaned up any spills. She likes dry red lentils and various spices.

Today's plan: keep going on the kitchen reorganization and keep up the XBX.
