Day 61: New Challenges

Alright, I’m in the last 30 days now. And I’ve hit upon at least one new challenge: time of day for working out. As much as I hated the 4:30 alarm clock at the beginning I’ve grown used to it. Most days my body is awake before the alarm. And it’s nice to feel like I’ve accomplished something before I go to work. Plus, vegging in the evening once the kiddos are in bed is kind of nice… you know, after whatever housework needs to be done. But, these last three mornings my son has gotten up during my workout. And he’s pretty unhappy about going back to bed. Can’t have him up that early or he gets crabby before his nap time. If this continues I think I’ll need to flip workouts to after the kids’ bedtime. Ironically, this is when I wanted to work out in the first place. But now I don’t like the idea. And it’s more likely (though maybe not anymore) that I’ll have to pause and take breaks when the kids need me. I think I’ll see how next week goes and make a decision from there.

Weekend is coming up, traditionally when I’ve taken the sloth route. Going to try to (at very least) do the Recovery & Mobility DVD one day. I believe my hubby needs additional motivation to workout these days, so his workouts will take priority if only one of us has time… but if I can swing it… I plan on doing something. Maybe just eliminating couch time… if there is such a time.

And after all that blathering, there was a workout today. Yoga!! So glad I’m back to doing it! My arms are super sore from yesterday and that complicated vinyasas. But, by the end my muscles all felt stretchy and happy. No progress with Crane, but didn’t really lose the abilities from last week. Perhaps Crane pose is something I need to play with over the weekend.
