trials and tribulations of an active lifestyle

I convinced myself to get up this morning, even though I REALLY didn’t want to.  I took a break from the Shred over the weekend and my bed was very comfortable this morning.  I guess my brain was still half asleep this morning when I pressed “play” because I decided to do level 2.  It wasn’t as bad as I thought, but still quite hard.  I feel like a got a better workout this morning.  Not saying that the other ones weren’t good, but in level 2 there is more constant movement of the whole body instead of just working arms or legs at one time. 

I am now doing the Shred solo as Sean quit on me.  Have a good week, everyone!

I woke up on my own this morning since Sean was at work.  I deserve a big high-five for that because I wasn’t sure that I would be motivated enough to do it alone.  The workout today was the easiest and I am less sore than I have been for the last couple of days.  I guess my muscles finally surrendered to the large quantities of Perform that I was putting on them.  I even caught myself wondering at what point I move up to level two.  Whoa.  

I had planned on writing a little more, but I hear a little girl who is going on less than a 30 minute nap today chattering to herself in her crib.  Guess a nap isn’t in her plans for today.

I am home for lunch, but today it isn’t just a lunch break.  It is a lunch/ibuprofen/Perform pain relieving gel break.  Sean and I did the Shred this morning.  I think Sean is feeling the pain also as he wanted to put Perform on his leg BEFORE he got into the shower this morning.  There was a little more ill will directed at Jillian this morning, but we both made it though.  More to come tomorrow!

I began the Shred this morning with a slight disadvantage.  I woke up sore and thinking that I probably shouldn’t have skipped the stretching yesterday.  Oh well, I am sure that I am going to wake up much more sore tomorrow. 

Last night I convinced Sean that he should so the Shred with me and he, like a fool, agreed.  We got out of bed at 5:20 this morning and began out workout.  Five minutes in Sean sounded like he was going to quit because he says he doesn’t move like that.  I pointed out that he used to be an aerobics king back in the day and all he needed to do was keep moving and he did.  We both finished and hopefully he will workout with me again tomorrow.  Over all it was a good workout.  I didn’t feel the need to cuss at Jillian at all today, though I am sure there will plenty of that in days to come.

Time to go take my Tylenol and get ready for the day.
