![]() ![]() I'm also adding 3 more things in the end of MS. Standing abs is still my favourite part, besides the very last 10-20 seconds - when everything is finished and you know - YEY, I'M DONE! One thing I remembered I did the last time is switching legs between days, because after the first section, you are already completely dead, and the second leg doesn't get as thorough a workout. But then again, I don't want to overdo it, I need to get into it slowly. I had to take breaks, and I couldn't to all the reps. While my body does remember it, the moves are hard to repeat at times. I did 11 minutes, and then crawled dead and sweaty to drink some water. So, 10 minutes or so, and it was approximately at the limit of my ability for now. I decided to start off easy not to overdo it. But then the moves start - and here I go, remember even the counts!!! Wow. So let me tell you, while I don't remember it, my body DOES!!! I could only remember that DC is crazy jumping. After I put the little pumpkin to sleep at 7pm, I had to clean up and do some work, and finally got around to the workout by 9.ĭC. So instead of working out in the morning like I used to do in the beginning of Meta last time, I work out in the evenings, when Button is asleep already. I wake up early as it is, and as my daughter is still not sleeping completely through the night (after Christmas travelling), I really can't get up any earlier. And for me finding time is also a very very very difficult task. So I started it yesterday, the 18th January! That's the hardest part I guess. Yesterday (Sunday) I managed to strain my back when putting Button to sleep for a nap, and am still in a bit of pain, so it was another rest day today unfortunately. I also remembered the good advice of switching the starting leg. I also notice that the way Tracy does the moves on the two legs differs a bit, but I stick to one way and do both legs that way one day, and the other way the next day. I also do slightly less reps, and it is a celebration if in moves 3-4 I can go 10 consecutive times without stopping. Next week challenge is to raise it to 20-22 or so. I started off easy - doing 10 minutes only. I sometimes start the move without even realising I remember it. My body remembers moves before my brain does. I think I might try next week or so to get up 30 min earlier.ĭC. I just wish I could do cardio in the morning. I already forgot what a great feeling it is to workout and then go to bed feeling all of your muscles tired and lazy a bit. And this past week I did it after a workout and a shower - and it feels wonderful. I very often leave grading essays or reading for the evening - I cuddle on a sofa with some nice soft music with a hot cup of tea. After that I have a couple hours - to have dinner, workout, work, rest and go to bed. That happens around 19 on work days (and 20 on weekends simply because she sleeps better at home than in daycare, hence is earlier tired on weekdays). We go for walks (and play in the snow these days), play at home, read books, then have dinner, a shower or bath and off to bed our pumpkin goes. It is not so much and so I do want to make the most of it. Between 15:30 and 19:00 is my time with the little one. It's so good to be an academic to be honest - I can be flexible. ![]() I add another hour or two in the evening most days to stay on track. I then have time only till 15:00 - that's when I go to pick up Button. In the morning I wake up around 6-6:30, get my daughter up at 7-7:30 (or whenever she wakes up) and take her to daycare by 8:30 the latest, so that I can start work at 9. I work out mostly in the evenings, as that's when I have time after Button is asleep. No but seriously, I do have the motivation. And if by the evening I don't have any calories for dinner, I feel really motivated to work out :D :D :D Haha. I am again doing the FintessPal app, and it gives a big pleasure to see your calorie intake, your exercise and the difference. But I found it quite easy to find the motivation for the sport itself. I still have posts about my measurements (and progress) and food on my to-do list, so I hope to get there at some point. ![]() I will try to update as much as I can, but let's see how successful I am. But then I never get the chance to actually do it. Sometimes throughout the days I walk around and have the thoughts and phrases for a new post form in my mind. This time around I have found out it is much more difficult now to find time to actually write and report on my progress. Week 1 consisted of 5 TA days, 2 rest days.
