And so begins week 7. I swear I just did this one a day or so ago. 9 more weeks, and I'm done with this program! It's bitter sweet, but I'm excited none the less.
Not much to report. I have been wearing my Vivofit since Friday, and it has been working very well on helping me get my steps in. I'm not up to the goal it has set for me yet, but at least now I can track it. It also tracks my sleep, which is nice. Being winter, it's harder to get out of bed in the morning with it still being dark out, and Wednesday is really going to suck, as I have to be at work at 4 a.m. instead of 8 to cover a shift for the studying students. Yea for finals weeks! My caffeine intake will probably soar that day.
My shoulder is still inflamed a bit, so I didn't do anything that required the use of my shoulder. Aleve is helping, though, as it's not as sore as it was. Hopefully a few more days, and it'll be back to normal.

Day 35: Sweat
I woke up in the middle of the night with severe stomach cramps and nausea, so the fact that I can even do this impresses even me.
It's not one of my favorites, but I got it done. Woohoo!

Day 34: Drench
Drench this morning. I think this exercise is growing on me. Again, I had to modify it due to my shoulder - for some reason, push ups don't feel good, but I can plank without too much pain, so I planked when they did push ups. Drench is also a 45 minute workout, and I only had 30 minutes to play with, so I didn't do the whole thing, but hey - I'm still lapping all y'all that are still in bed, or still on the couch, so what now? Yeah, think about that one for a minute.
It helps that this is my workout view:

Isn't it pretty? It's amazing how much light that tree gives off. Coffee, shower, and then I'm off to work.
What'd YOU do this morning?

Day 33: Sculpt
I'll just say now that I tweaked my right shoulder two days ago, and I just messed it up again. That being said, I didn't double up like I originally planned. Instead, I'll do one workout tomorrow morning, and another tomorrow night.
I haven't done sculpt before tonight, but my legs are going to feel it tomorrow. All the tricep dips had to be lessened due to my shoulder, and my right hamstring cramped up on the last rep. Needless to say, I'm reminded why I had stopped working out, but that won't stop me for tomorrow. Off to have a hot bath with epsom salts, then go to bed - 5:30 a.m. comes early.
In other news, I invested some soon-to-be-had Christmas money in a Garmin Vivofit! I've only had it on my wrist for 2.5 hours, and I've already taken 559 steps. We'll see what tomorrow brings.

Mulligan
Due to sheer laziness - and not wanting to get out of bed at 5:30 to work out - I haven't done PiYo like I should have. For shame, I know. Thankfully, I have some lovely ladies who are awesome role models and motivators, so tonight when I get home, I will be hitting it again. Since I joined Allison's 8 week PiYo Challenge Group, and I'm stuck on week 6, I plan to double up on workouts for the next few days to make it through to week 8 so I can be completely finished by the time we get to week 8 (week 16 for me). After that, I'll do Les Mills, then it should be time for my boudoir photo shoot. then do TurboFire, just to stay in shape. After that, who knows.
I bought a Garmin Vivofit, so that should help me get up more from my desk. The fact that I've been drinking at least one 16 oz bottle of water at work a day (I'm on my second one today). I've even put times on it to keep track, although the last few days, I haven't needed them. I just bought a bottle of fruit infused water from the cafe down the hall, but when I got it back to my desk, the strawberry kiwi flavor was not as good as it should've been, and the water was bubble infused. There's a reason I don't often drink soda - I don't like the carbonation. Save the bubbles for bath time, keep it out of my drinking water, so I dumped it out and started over. Then I had a marvelous idea and tore off the labeling, and measured the bottle into thirds, making sure I drank a certain amount by 10 am, noon, and 3 pm. Genius, I thought!
There she is, in all her glory. Isn't it beautiful?
Ok, so that is my masterful plan. I'm off to snack on peas and get back to work.
