Daily Check-in
This was a better day than yesterday. My body is slowly acclimating to the time change. After my quiet time this morning, I did the second Gym Style Legs timesaver premix. I was running a few minutes late and needed to save time. This gave me a taste of the whole workout. The standing leg work is my favorite part. Even though I am not a big fan of floor work, I enjoyed the exercises with the band. I love the pretty peach tops Cathe and the girls are wearing. That is one of my favorite colors. Next week, I may do the standing work and floor work on different days. I missed the slow-count lunges and the calf work by doing this premix. I missed the deadlifts too now that I think about it. I did this workout a few times last year, and I am writing this on memory. I just know that the standing work in this premix is too short for my taste. When time is an issue, I would be better off to save the floor work for another day.
The upper body workouts are new to me. I am planning to try the timesaver premixes for both of them in the morning just to get a feel for them. I need to take a peek at them before bedtime tonight so I can get ready.
I bounced on my rebounder tonight. I was hoping to do some intense cardio but did not have enough time or energy. This month is not going according to plan, but I am staying on track by sticking with my rotation as closely as possible while listening to my body and making adjustments as needed. I have been cheese and chocolate free for a month now with no visible difference in my body. In my experience, eating super clean is not necessary. Moderately clean plus portion control is good enough. Moderation, variety, and balance are keys for me (as well as avoiding anything that causes an allergic reaction).
Mom called me during my lunch hour to let me know that my brother and sister-in-love are expecting a new baby in November. I am so excited! I will have another niece or nephew to love on Thanksgiving! My niece is walking now and growing up way too fast. I am so happy to have another baby on the way.
I made it to bed by midnight last night, and I am on track to be in bed much earlier tonight. My counselor cancelled our Friday night session due to a family emergency, and I am actually glad. I need rest more than I need counseling this week!
Becky, what have you done to the cardio haters? ;-) They never posted like crazy until you joined! LOL! :7
Tammy, more hugs and prayers for you. :*
Blessings,
