Day 56

Taking a new approach this week. Instead of planning, I wake up and decide what physical activity I want to do each day. Today I wanted to get on the Cross Country Skier. So, I did. And I got back on my water intake. I feel pretty darn good!

Dry Spell

Day 53-55

I'm taking the weekend off. I'm feeling fatigued again. I'm sure its because I didn't keep up my water intake this week. Its the only part of my routine that changed. I have lost close to five pounds since I started this journey. That's nearly a pound a week. So its working. I just gotta keeping what works.

Day 52

Today was an uphill battle...literally. I'd planned to bike to work. Left the house without my helmet,
and took the bus instead. I just couldn't get past the nagging mom voice that scolded my son any time he left to ride his bike without his helmet.

But then I had to take a bike to get to an appointment two miles away. So, I grabbed a bike. Little did I know, the journey was uphill. I spent most of the time walking the bike to my destination!

Day 51

Whenever I make it plan about exercise it doesn't turn out as I expect. I was supposed to do T25 Total Body Circuit today. But I woke up feeling like doing step aerobics. So I popped in a Transfirmer DVD and had a great time stepping up on a 6", 8", and finally a 14" stair stepper.

Felt great all day!

I also had a really good bowel movement;-)

Day 50

Wow fifty! It's Tired Tuesday. I knew when I silenced my alarm clock this morning that if I didn't get up the workout wouldn't get done. And I was right. 

But I said I'd be kind to myself and I'm holding to that. About to take a salt bath and close my eyes. 

Day 49

MONDAY
T25 Cardio
Body Beast: BUILD Shoulders

So I didn't get up at 5:30am, but I did complete the work out! Sort of...

I did really well with Focus T25. Then I went into Body Beast Build Shoulders. I was shaky during the warm up! And I had to bow out half way through because my arms were shaking.

Might not be the best idea to double up on these two. At least not so close together. I might try again tonight to complete the Beast workout.

Day 48

Last week was not the best week. Other than biking, I didn't get any formal exercise done. Part of it was due to creative demands and frustrations. The other part was due to lack of motivation.

I can already tell that this is going to be another week of creative demands. Maybe I need to break out the yoga? I'm trying to decide between yoga and T25. I'm hoping to get myself up 30 minutes early every morning this week and get some exercise in.

I'm gonna think on it more today...

UPDATE
I've thought about it. I don't think my mind will have the patience to do yoga with my writing deadlines. I'm going to attempt to get up at 5:30am Monday-Friday of this week and do Focus T25.

WEDNESDAY

This is ambitious.
I will do my best.
I will be kind to myself.
