Days 17-19

Yep. Life happened. My oldest has been sick, bad winter weather has hit (and threatens to do so again tomorrow), and packing is becoming a priority since we're less than 3 weeks away from the moving date. Despite that, though, I still managed to get my workouts in.

I do not recall which days did what at the moment; I am tired. I do recall a few mental notes I made, though.

Yesterday was a cardio day. I had a snack about an hour beforehand and figured that was enough time to digest. Apparently not. All those squat thrusts, mountain climbers, etc. were fine at the time, but 30 minutes after my workout I had what a friend calls a vurp (vomit+burp). That's all. Nothing more. I did not drink excess amounts of water, so that wasn't the problem. Not sure what it was aside from the sloshing of my snack. It didn't seem like that much, though. *shrug*  Aside from that, I made it two moves further into the workout before I had to rest during the move! Yay, progress!

My right hip is a LOT tighter than my left, which I find funny since my left leg is a lot weaker than my right. I wonder which is my lead leg. ;)

ALWAYS wear appropriate shoes for these workouts. As much as I love being barefoot....
squat thrusts - shoes = massive rug burn on feet. Fair warning.

I cannot do her side plank twisting things, either from last week or from this week. I don't know why. Maybe I am not strong enough in my core yet. Maybe I just haven't figured out the correct form of the movement. Maybe it's just a bad move altogether. Whatever the case, I have been doing a standard elbow side plank ... without the twist.

Water is still lower than I want. 30 oz seems to be my go-to amount. Tomorrow I'll be drinking a lot, though, since I'll be at my externship and then at work. On my feet all day means I'll always have my water bottle with me.

I'm all about renegade rows. Unfortunately, my dumbbells are too small, and I end up basically doing a plank on my knuckles, which hurts me a lot. Also, my weights are not heavy enough for me to really feel anything from the row. :\ *Starts this year's Christmas list.*

Hopefully I will get my workout in tomorrow despite my busy day. I know, that's not a good attitude to start with. *sigh* I look forward to the day that this becomes a happy habit instead of a dreaded chore.
