Well, it looks like I’m going to have to rearrange my workout schedule. Until today, I’ve been doing my exercise at night after the kids go to bed. My fabulous hubster built the heavy bag stand today. Yay! But, it does make enough noise that I can’t do it when the kids are just getting to sleep so I’m going to have to switch to morning workouts - which is not a bad thing. Today - I had my workout done entirely before 12:30. Tonight is Friday and that means it’s cheat night. I always make something really yummy on Fridays for the watching of Supernatural. Tonight, I’m making oreo brownies.
I had great fun with my workout today - working the heavy bag and getting some tips from the hubster. Then I did some time on the bike to even it out. I could do the heavy bag EVERY day. So I probably will. It’s great fun. And it’s a fast sweat. And, it’s something I can do without feeling that draggy I don’t wanna do it kind of feeling.
On the food diary - breakfast wasn’t so good (well it was just not good for me) but I don’t go to Tudor’s very often. On the off set, Tudor’s breakfast fills me up so I don’t even think about lunch. Dinner is potato soup and that’s already in the crockpot. Dessert will be my brownies and some popcorn while watching the Winchesters kick some monster butt.
I still feel a bit crackly, but its in a good way. This kind of sore and achy just means there is progress being made. This kind of crackly is a good thing. So I don’t so much mind it. I think I am going to have to be careful and start wearing my knee brace some of the time. I’m also going to relugate one day a week to work ONLY on my stamina on the stationary bike. Come spring, I would really like to be able to sort of keep up with the hubster and our friends on the trail. Maybe even my baby brother if I can convince him to come riding with his dorky older sister.
Onward to tomorrow!
Fun with the workout is the reason why I do dance related stuff. If it's not fun, I just don't do it. The exception is stretching, which isn't necessarily fun, but it's easy, and with my issues, easy is good. I'm finally feeling a little less sore after the stretching so upped the time for each stretch (was initially doing 8 counts, now doing 12). I want to start walking or bike riding eventually, but in the area we're at, there's a lot of hills, and I have to be mindful of my BP, so it's going to be awhile, I think.
ReplyDeleteMy big problem with treats, snacks, and stuff is that I can't do fruit consistently at the moment. Adjusting my diet for what we can afford is cramping my style. I increased my calorie intake levels today, and I should be able to have a sweet treat daily and still lose some weight, or at least not worry so much about my treats being higher calorie than they would be if I could do the fruit and Greek yogurt thing more often.
Keep going girl! You're an inspiration! :)
