Can you believe it’s almost been 31 Days? I’m enjoying the challenge of exercising every day, but it really is difficult at times.

This has been one of those weeks, you know the kind. Where children aren’t sleeping, I’m staying up too late and when my alarm goes off at 6 it’s way easier to crawl back into bed. That being said, I have been able to manage to fit my workouts in anyway, at least most of the time. Last week, well, I messed up. I missed two days of workouts. (Though on one day I did go to a dance rehearsal, so I guess that counts). I was irritated at myself but I refused to give up.

 

Weightlifting 101
Basic Step Aerobics II
Defining Deltoids & Foam Unrolling
21 Tone Up
Kelly’s Total Body Workout
Neck Routine 2

I especially enjoyed Defining Deltoids and since I had gotten up early to say goodbye before my husband got an early flight, I had time for Foam Unrolling as well. I am really enjoying my new foam roller and I’m enjoying trying all the workouts. For the rest of the week I chose routines I could do without equipment since the kids and I were staying at my parents’ house and I wouldn’t have my weights and other accessories.

I was tempted to skip Saturday altogether, given that it was almost midnight and I still hadn’t found time to work out. But I was still waiting up for hubby, whose flight had been delayed, and I decided I might as well fit something in. While I didn’t enjoy Neck Routine 2 quite it as much as the original Neck Routine, I do think this has some great stabilization work and I can see where it would be very useful after an injury or surgery.

I missed a day! That’s right, hubby came home from traveling, we threw a small birthday party for our six year old son and I crashed hard. 9:30 at night on Sunday and I realized I never did a workout and I could barely keep my eyes open.

So I went to bed. Sometimes rest is important too. I love to be consistent, I hate a break in the pattern, but I refuse to let this derail me.

So these two planned workouts will be bumped to next week.

Pilates in Pajamas
Classic Flow A

 

Insane Upper Body & Basic Aerobics II
Step and Pivot Around the World
Weightlifting 201
Pilates in Pajamas
Classic Flow A & Foam Rollaxing
Ankles & Upper Body, Restorative Poses

 

I didn’t get through the whole workout of Weightlifting 201 and it was definitely challenging but I’m glad I tried it and I look forward to coming back to it. I had planned to do Basic Step II but I was a little bored and I realized I had forgotten about this other step aerobics workout, Step and Pivot Around the World. I need to get this one back in my regular rotation as well.

By the end of the week I actually felt quite accomplished. I absolutely loved combining Classic Flow and a foam roller routine. Last Saturday night hubby and I had been bickering all day, the kids were being especially difficult and I just wanted to the day to be over. But instead, once the kids were in bed, I did Classic Flow A and Foam Rollaxing. I was amazed at how great I felt. This just confirmed to me that doing something is always better than doing nothing. Even when I feel yucky, if I can scrape out enough energy to do just something small, it is nearly always worth it.

Only a few days left of this challenge!
