Day 46 - Sore knees

Whinge whine. Nothing serious just a whinge.

Pistol squats hurt my poor old knees. I think I strained one while I was pregnant when all my joints were stretchy and it really hasn't healed since. I keep re-hurting it when getting up from the floor during playtime with Max.

Otherwise all is good. Workout done between morning snack and lunch as Hubbilicious was able to play with No 1 Son so I could focus on what I was doing.

Skipping much better today for some reason. 1542 on the counter. Fewer trips and felt a bit more fluid so I even tried some new "moves". I was inspired by Kevin's skipping skillz, so I tried hopping rather than jumping and managed to get a few done. Different sensation on one foot than on two. Will try some other moves later on.

Still hopeless on the chest dips but then according to Inés' gym guy they are not meant for us poor fragile females anyway. ppffftt I managed to get a couple of half decent dips done.

For the bloke's push-ups, I can really only get one set done on my toes and then revert to my knees.

Abs are a happier story. I do 8MA most nights and I am finding the V-sits relatively easy. So I am adding reps and an extra set so I can get a good burn.  The bicycle is still hard though - especially on the legs but they are probably still just sore from the squats.  

Food is fine. Had lunch out yesterday in a lovely cafe attached to a German bakery. So all healthy ingredients and PCP friendly. Had a lovely herbed (steamed) chicken sandwich on sourdough with a tomato soup and side salad.

Anybody have any suggestions about what to do with Kabocha pumpkin? I have a heap that I need to use up and I can't think of what to do with it. Last time I roasted it but it was a bit on the dry side even with a coating of olive oil. Mashing just seems dull.
