After a wrenching of emotions, the saga continues. Focus Pocus, the brain fog clouds the way of any concentration these days. More poses, very sweaty, little motivation other than this blog, however. I keep hoping that one day I will wake up one day excited about working out, but you are doing well just getting me out of bed at 6am. As it turns out, walking 10k steps requires a lot more than just walking around the work building every day once an hour. It really takes an effort to get over 5 miles. I did it yesterday just in the morning by walking around the apartment complex I don’t know how many times, and ultimately I got 15,000 steps by the end of the day. Yay for me!
Plenty of hydration, diet has kinda sucked. Not eating enough calories, but what is new. Not much insight into that, really. Day 2 or 3 without having a diet coke. No smoking. Eating lots of yogurt, which reminds me that I haven’t had a proper lunch today. Could be the cause of this mysterious cloudy mind. Sleep has been easy. Experts say you should have an electronic curfew, but what if you actually like going to sleep with the TV on, I find the antics of Micheal Scott and Dwight Shrute to be a charming way to drift to sleepyville, yes, zzzzzz, indeed.
I have no affiliation with BodyRock, but I have been following this as a plan pretty rigorously, hey the price is right! One of the hosts, Lisa, posted a video on her fanpage about being consistent with your diet and workout plans. It really is simple but it requires a habit shift. I have been doing a lot more with yoga and walking, but for these workouts it is just a matter of wanting or not wanting to. Again, I can’t really say that I want to, but I want to write, and other than this journey, things are just not that exciting for me, so this is something that maybe people will want to listen to or maybe not, either way, typing along like an exercise machine!
Today’s BR workout was pretty boss, could not seem to really get as high as I wanted on the jumps. Here are my scores:
1) Surfer kick out 2 jump squats 2 tuck jumps [4, 2,2]
2) 5 Mountain Climbers 5 Star Jumps [3, 2,2]
3) 2 Forward Lunges 2 squat and press 2 upright rows (no sandbag) [6, 3,3]
4) 2 pushups come up to a burpee 1 tuck jump [2., 2, 3]
Every day I am getting better.
sweat every day
