Today has been a much better day. I woke up early despite the fact that I couldn’t get to sleep until about 3:30am and I started my day. I had one workout to make up for from Saturday and one for today.
The plan for today was to wake up at 8am, do both workouts, eat, shower, and then head off to my mom’s house because my husband and I had about 2 weeks of laundry we had to do. (Several months ago, our washer broke and we’ve been using the coin operated machine at our apartment buildings. This past week has been particularly rough and we weren’t able to scrounge up enough to get our laundry done.) So, my wonderful mother allowed us to use her washer and dryer. After the laundry was done, we were planning to go back home and clean our house thoroughly.
Upon thinking it through, I decided that I would just wake up at 8am, go to my mom’s house and just do my workouts there. That way, it saves time and my husband wanted to stay home and clean the house anyway. I repeat, MY HUSBAND WANTED TO STAY HOME AND CLEAN THE HOUSE ANYWAY. (lol)
Once I got situated at my mom’s and the first load was in, I immediately started the first workout, Sculpt. I admit, it was difficult doing the floor moves and pretty much any move that required my feet or body to be on the floor; my mom has wood floors covered only partially by a very thin rug. I was half on the wood flooring and half on the thin carpet; uncomfortable, but not unbearable.
After that workout, which is 50 minutes long, I transferred the clothes and then started the other portion of my workouts, High and Tight and Cardio Axe. The floor was even more uncomfortable this time especially since for the majority of the High and Tight video, I was basically down on all fours bearing weight on my knees and elbows. Cardio Axe was difficult only because there wasn’t much room to move around in and I’ve always had the idea that if I were to land too hard, I’d fall through the floor. (When I lived there, I used to walk on my tippy toes any time I was upstairs.) I was on the ground floor this time, but the idea has never left me.
Anyway, I ended up having to turn to the side and watch the video by turning my head to the right. It wasn’t that bad considering that I know the moves. The only bad part during this portion of the workout was the wood floors. Landing on it with bare feet and trying to “Samba” is hard work on wood floors especially when you are trying to do it softer so as not to fall through the floor. Regardless, I succeeded and am now officially caught up with my workouts.
There was one element that I particularly liked though, even though it meant being attacked sporadically. My mom has a cat and she was TOTALLY into having someone there (at an unusual time since both my parents work throughout the day). She was being all cute and rolling around showing me her tummy as I was working out. While I was doing some of the moves though, she’d randomly claw at me; that wasn’t very cute. Included are some pictures.
I guess that’s it for today. Food wise, it’s still been a little hard to the get the proper amount of calories in. Body wise, I haven’t felt or seen anything change yet. And, unfortunately, my work pants were a little snug this evening. As far as I know, I haven’t been gaining any weight. It could be water?? I’ve already drank about 2.5 liters today and the day isn’t even over. I don’t know what’s going on, but it’s kind of frustrating. Can anyone shed some light on this?
Until next time,
SP
P.S. I decided to let the cat wear the resistance band...she didn't like it, but surprisingly stood still for about a milli-second while I snapped her picture.
