Day 8: Core

I went ahead and did yesterday's workout (Define: Lower Body) along with Monday's last night. Considering we went bowling, and I used muscles I haven't used regularly since high school (GO BRONCHOS!), I was already a bit sore in certain places. Then I did my PiYo. I love PiYo, but never in a million years did I think yoga and Pilates could make a person sore like weight (as in dumbbell) based exercises. Boy, was I wrong. I did the core today, and since it worked a few areas in the legs as well, I had to modify it a bit so I would actually be able to stand up and walk today at work without the help of Aleve. Then I got to work...

I spent 5 hours in the library basement tonight, and as soon as my feet hit the floor, my boss asked if I could put the donations up on the shelves for her to sort through (into the book fair to be sorted by genre, Goodwill, recycling, or to be placed on the library's Amazon page), but before that, could I bring down the new donations from upstairs? I internally whined, cried, and whimpered, but I dutifully said yes and took the cart up to collect everything. I was always, always, ALWAYS told by daddy to "lift with your knees, not with your back," so I always do. Needless to say, I got yet another workout from lifting all those heavy, book laden boxes onto the cart, dragging the cart to the elevator, off the elevator, and lifting the heavy boxes again onto the floor. It was a long 5 hours. I'm having a glass of wine to celebrate my survival.

Thankfully, tomorrow is Define: Upper Body. I work another 11 hour shift, so it's quite possible I either won't get an update on it on here, or it'll be late in doing so, as it is now. Thankfully, tomorrow's 5 hours in the basement are just sorting books onto the book fair shelves, so unless I box a few full shelves up, there shouldn't be heavy lifting involved.

Oh, and did I mention I'm fighting a sore throat on top of this? Yeah. Not fun. Enough about me! What have you been doing today to
