Woah, Jenny.

Today was a pretty crappy day all around. I went to bed late, and woke up at 5 am to our car horn randomly spazzing out. Of course, that waking up the entire neighborhood wasn't the best way to start the day. It took 3 people to get the horn to stop. Luckily, the baby slept through it all! After all that, I woke up at 9 feeling like absolute garbage. I hadn't had enough sleep to let me muscles recuperate from my previous workout so I was feeling a bit stiff. I spent most of the day lounging around the house in my pajamas, not wanting to go anywhere or accomplish anything.

Luckily, after I checked the mail, I did finally get dressed. We ended up having to run to walmart for some much needed household items. The entire time I was gone I kept thinking about how I needed to do my workout before I lost ALL motivation to. Once we got back to the house, I immediately put on my workout clothes and once again loaded up my game. Staring at the game always makes me want to do it just a little bit more than thinking about it does.

Last time I tried to work out, Emma kept running around my feet and getting mad that I wasn't paying attention to her. I ended up having Andrew take her to her room to play so that I could get my work out done without upsetting her. I'm just glad he doesn't work until later tonight! *Phew.*

Well, after all of that running around I finally got to start my work out. I was told that last time I did so well they wanted to challenge me a little more. Say WHAT?! I was challenged last time, I was barely able to do the exercises they threw at me then, and now they want to make them harder? I decided I'd at least give it a shot, but quickly realized that I couldn't bend or contort my body the way they wanted me to at ALL! I wound up doing 3 workouts today for that very reason.

I attempted the mom fitness routine, which wasn't too bad. It was generally the same things that I usually do for full body weight loss/calorie burning. I was okay with that, but then I switched to working out my abs. I was honestly expecting to do some sit ups, bends, and things of that nature. Well, Jenny had me doing high kicks, dancer moves, and all these weird stretching exercises that I just wasn't capable of. I'm not the most flexible person in the world, but as usual I tried. I wound up quitting exercise routine #2 halfway through. I only managed to burn 72 calories there. I felt a little discouraged, so I finished my workout with a 15 minute yoga routine. Overall, I still did my half hour workout, and I still burned a decent amount of calories.

Todays stats are as follows:

Workout time: 30 minutes
Routines tried: 3
Total Calories Burned: 237 + 15 minute yoga routine

I wish I could say I did better, but I tried and that's all that matters. I am beginning my 6 week fitness challenge on January 1st for anyone who is interested. For now, I am just getting the hang of being back in the work out world. It hurts soooo gooood.

Peace, Love, and Yoga
