Back at It (Again)

I swore when I started this blog that I was going to be more disciplined about posting on a regular basis. But here I am. The excuse I'm using today is that the Blogger app sucks! It constantly crashes and I lose everything I've entered. I take pictures on my phone so I want to be able to post them. Transferring the pictures from my phone to my computer may seem easy, but for whatever reason, it's not. So I need the phone app to upload pictures but then the computer to update the blog. It's getting to be a multi step process. One that kinda bums me out. But I'm here now.

Last week, I was not feeling well. At all. I think it was something I ate. But I got completely bloated - I'm talking 6 month pregnant looking bloated. And I felt so nauseous that I started believing that I might actually be pregnant! But then I remembered you don't go 0-6 months overnight. It gradually faded after 3-4 days so I tried to get back into exercising. I just started a new program called Turbofire and I really liked it. But like anything, once I get out of it for awhile, I have a difficult time getting back in. I went along with the video for about 5 minutes before completely abandoning it. So much for that.

Yesterday was a beautiful day. One of those days in fall that you know winter is around the corner so you can't waste this blessing of a day. So I took my little one out for a walk. In my neighbourhood, there are two schools and two other separate playgrounds. Tons to choose from. Usually we go to the school that my older daughter goes to but I always feel weird playing at the playground when school is on. And I wanted to go for a longer walk so we walked down the block to a different playground. She loved it! She ran from place to place with a giant smile on her face! She especially loved the teeter-totter. We must have spent a lot of time on it because on the walk home, I could barely use my legs! Then she wanted a piggy back!! So needless to say, I got my leg day in!! And I think that was the kick I needed to get back into it!

I woke up this morning with some pretty sore legs! But I knew I couldn't quit here. So I found Turbofire Upper Body 20 on my Beachboy on Demand app and went to work. The workout flew by. My arms were lead by the end but man do I ever feel good! Maybe this is what they're always talking about with the endorphins filling your body after a workout! I don't usually get that - I just get tired! But I feel good - like I can take over the world. Once I updated his blog and go have a snack. I bought cottage cheese and a bunch of fruit so I'm set for the day. Until next time....
