Day 20

So Saturday was day 18 and Sunday day 19 and didn’t do the workout as I mentioned because I was doing yard work instead. Yesterday I didn’t even do the yard work! I was awake a lot on Saturday night when my throat started to hurt. It wasn’t a scratchy kind of sore throat but just hurt on one side when I swallowed and it was making my ear ache a bit too. When I got up on Sunday morning my head and face were aching a lot too. I took some Ibruprofen and Sudafed and after a couple of hours felt a little better, but I just didn’t feel up to working out be it in the yard or with the dvd.

I went to bed last night at 8pm I was so tired and my head was aching again. Today I don’t feel so bad, still took the Sudafed and the Ibuprofen this morning for the face/headache but I felt well enough to do the workout.

I can’t say I’m noticing any changes to my body though, and if I’m honest I’m really not putting as much effort in to it as I probably should. After this many days I really feel more worn out than better for it. I can’t wait to have this over with!!

Day 15, 16 and 17!!!

Wednesday was day 15 and I must confess I didn't do the workout. I had to go for my yearly well-woman appointment at the Dr's and then I ran errands so by the time I got home it was lunch time, and well, I just kept putting off, did laundry etc and then it was bedtime :-(

It's getting really hard to stay motivated doing this I must admit. I did the workout on Thurday before 8am even and then again yesterday. But it's the weekend and guess what . . . I'm not gonna do the dvd! I'll be working out in the back yard instead. It's like a jungle out there in the veggie beds and now that the mornings are cooling down I can get out there and start pulling weeds (and old rotten veg!) outta there! That will be my workouts for Saturday and Sunday.

Day 13 and 14

If I  don’t get on here and post right after I do the workout I seem to totally forget to do so! That’s what happened yesterday. I did the dvd but didn’t jump on here right afterwards.

Wow, today is day 14, I’ve been doing this for two weeks already? OK, so I missed two days and technically I’ve only done 12 workouts but I’m posting every day regardless if I’ve actually worked out or not. That way I can follow my progress over the full 30 days and I can see why I missed some of the days I missed.

You’d think after two weeks this would feel easier, but if I’m honest my body just seems to feel more and more tired. That might have something to do with the fact that I’m not a spritely young twenty year old!  I think after these 30 days I’ll go back to doing something a little more enjoyable, like walking around the neighborhood ;-)

Day 12

I skipped the workout again today!!! But I had good reason, I actually had a work out and a half when I mowed the front yard this morning and pulled a lot of weeds out of the flower beds and trimmed the bushes. I usually don't have to cut the grass but the guy we have come every two weeks is overdue, it happens sometimes, and usually we can just wait, but this time the weeds were getting too high and I didn't want a letter from the HOA telling me to get my yard tided up, so I cut it.

SO, I will start back again tomorrow. I realize now how hard this is going to be, but I'm nearly half way through it, so I'll keep on trying.

Day 10 . . . . and 11!

It’s Saturday, I didn’t get a chance to get on here and post for yesterday. I did the workout yesterday but I’m going to skip today!! I know, I know. .  . but honestly I just need to rest.  This is harder than it seems, more from a discipline thing really, ok the workouts only last 20 minutes (not really true, with warm up and cool down it’s more like 27 minutes) but I just know I don’t have it in me to do it today.  I just want a break from it.

I don’t know why, I just do. So I’m not going to pretend I did it when I didn’t, I’m going to be up front and honest and say today, I’m taking a break.

Tomorrow I will start again.

Day 9

I'm just off to bed, but realized I didn't post on here for today! Meant to do it earlier but the day got away from me.

I had to go out again first thing this morning to a music store of all places to get Kristen some new books for her piano lesson. It meant I didn't get to do my workout til nearly 12pm!

It also meant that I didn't put as much effort in to it today. I don't know why, I just know I could have done better. I'm hoping tomorrow I can stay home, have breakfast as early as I usually do and do my workout at 9am. It always seems to feel better at that time.

Yesterday I did better with my eating and actually counted points. Got on the scale this morning and was happy to see 126.4 :-)

Day 8

Some days seem easier to do than others? Today not being as easy a day as yesterday . . . don’t really know why. I had to go get the oil changed in my car today so didn’t do my workout until 10am.

I had a banana when I went out and had oatmeal again when I got home, then did the workout. 

I really must get better with the eating, my weight has gone up to 128lb this morning, and if you know me at all, you know I’m freaking out at that number, although some of you will tell me that I’m probably gaining muscle and that of course weighs heavier than fat! But I know the truth! I’m still eating the ‘wrong’ things. . . some how a bag of Cheetos found it’s way on to my lap last night, when I was watching Biggest Loser of all things!  I only have myself to blame.

Today I’m counting my points, and hopefully will do so for the next week to see if there’s any change on the scale.

I’ll keep on keeping on ;-)
