Yikes

I have decided that getting old is just no fun!!  I think I have really bad allergies right now.  So does poor little K.  My eyes are all itchy, my throat and sinuses hurt, and I wake up with all sorts of drainage issues.  So I guess it is ragweed that's bothering me.  :-(

I've been getting light headed a lot lately too.  My doctor thinks it is because I'm low in iron so just started taking some iron tablets.  Hope it will help and I can get the energy and stability to get my workout on!!

Legs like jello

Ahhhhh my legs feel like jello and also like they are slightly on fire! My girl is at her new gymnastics class which is 3 hours long so I decided I would just drop her off and hit my gym not too far away.

I thought I was getting on the elliptical and then got all my gear set up around / on it and realized it was some cross ramp thing. I was kind of wondering why it looked so tall. Anyway then I felt too embarrassed to hop off so I did this for 25 minutes. I actually liked it so will probably do it again next time. Then did the recumbent bike for 21 mins or so. I finished up on the elliptical for 10 mins. Not too bad, guess I should've just done 4 more mins to hit a full hour of cardio. Ah well. Pretty close :).

Hot, Hot, Hot!!

Our AC died yesterday. It's been super hot in here and I feel so yicky! Since I was already a giant pile of sweat, I did my T25 this morning. Between a hurt right ankle, left wrist, the monthly thing, I totally didn't nail the workout. I'm pretty behind at this point but have now finished week 2 day 2. Hoping the AC gets fixed today or tomorrow so I can get back into the groove!!

Sorry I'm having a bit of an off week. Husband was traveling and then I got not the best medical news (not deadly no worries) that I've been busy processing and researching. Will check back in next week!

Long long day!

I went to a sleep study center last night to try and figure out why I'm not sleeping well and two if there are other issues causing me to snore.

The first is because I told my doc I had a hard time focusing and felt like I had ADD and was all over the place. He suggested starting with a sleep study as lack of quality sleep could impact the next day. This sounds logical!

I didn't sleep well at all. I didn't read the paperwork packet as we were rushing around and had both sweet tea and coke for dinner. Dinner was not until 7:45 and we didn't leave restaurant until almost 8:45. I had to leave for the center at 9:15 so I got home rushed around and packed and headed out. Then they told me the study ends at 5am so I had to hurry and fall asleep. I was plugged up to all sorts of wire. That made it hard to sleep too!! I remember turning the tv off at 11:30 and then waking on and off until 5am. I get my results on Friday.

I got home hoping to nap on the sofa, but I couldn't fall asleep so I got up and worked on donations / cleaning. Then I went downstairs to workout before the family woke up. I actually did both Day 5 programs of Lower Focus and Cardio. I took a few minutes between to eat an orange for breakfast. I didn't nail either workout but I also did more than barely made it. It was just hard to get myself started up and moving fast with each DVD.

I also walked a couple of times back and forth to drop off and pick up k from a neighbor at the end of the street. Then I just went on another walk with another neighbor tonight for 1.84 miles. Today's step count is now 17k+ :)

Day 4

I woke up early, worked out, folded and put away a lot of laundry, cleaned a bit, and now I'm ready for a nap.

I don't recall the abs workout being as hard by the end of the first time I did t25 so I need to work more on my core! The v sit moves are the hardest.

Day 3 a day late

Well yesterday I had good intentions but didn't get to my workout. Ended up knocking out a deliverable for work that I have been staring at for awhile and not making progress. I did spend time yesterday finding some planner printables and think I found two that might suit me. I'll have to edit it slightly but pretty good. So all was not lost yesterday. I'll link up to them later.

Today was total body challenge and it was definitely a challenge. I was struggling a bit. Still better than week 1 day 3 of round 1 but I was not expecting to struggle so much. I think it was because I didn't work out until 5pm and all I had by that time was 2/3 of my shake and some gum all day. My body was out of fuel. Plus my sleep schedule has been awful lately!
