Day Thirty

Buns, hun!

In addition to doing Buns, I mowed the whole yard and then spent an hour pulling weeds with Nick. Ohhhh my aching legs. 

Actually, I think I actually hurt my hamstring in my left leg. I went a little deep on a move and it's absolutely in pain now. That's frustrating because I'm supposed to be doing Drench tomorrow. I also haven't been sore in a while now, and let me just say that I haven't really missed it haha.

I'm also noticing that my daughter is acting like she doesn't feel good again. Hope she's just tired. =(

Day Twenty Seven

Finished Sweat with almost ease. I realized halfway through it was pretty easy, so I increased my intensity. Further stretches, deeper lunges, wider squats.

It worked! I'm feeling it now! This cold has me barely able to breathe, though, and now I'm extra feeling the aches and pains from the cold.

Husband has been PiYo-ing with me lately and he also did Sweat today. He has some work to do, but he did so well. Super proud of us.

**It's a slow process, but quitting will make it even slower!**

Day Twenty Six

Sooooo sick. Stupid cold.

In between fighting my fever, battling chills, and taking care of my dad's two dogs all day, I did Sculpt for the first time. I did everything except the backward tricep pushup on the chair. I'm not really sure what it's called. But I attempted one and decided NOPE. I'll try when I'm not sick. Even then, I'm not sure I can do them! I don't trust my chair!

I'm proud for still doing this stuff while sick. I may not be pushing myself quite as hard as I usually do, but I'm still working it! And I'm still moving. My diet is still on track too. 950 calories today. Which isn't a lot, but I'm sick and have no appetite. I had to force myself to eat dinner. 

In lady news, I'm approaching an unpleasant week and I already don't feel fabulous cramp wise. Hoping the movements will help ease the pain a little. And I'm hoping my cold is gone before it starts. Harumph. 

Day Twenty Five

Well, definitely sick. And it sucks. 

Today was supposed to be a rest day but I've taken so many of those, so I decided to at least attempt a workout. I attempted Strength Intervals and not only did I finish, I rocked it!

Now, granted I had a fever and was dripping snot onto my mat (I still use a mat for S.I. because my rug is slick), but it really was easier this time around! I don't think my fever was making me delirious or hallucinate, so I'm calling this a win!

My diet is on track, though with my body sending signals to my brain to hoard calories to fight off the cold and my impending period making me crave anything sweet, this isn't an easy task. I want to eat all the things! But I'm still sitting comfortably at 1350 calories for the day. 

Day Twenty Four

I'm alive. But barely.

Drench kicked my ass. Sideways. 

It didn't help that I attempted this workout after getting Deacon ready for school, running errands all morning, and doing chores. I was tired when I started!

But what was really hindering me was I was so off balance. I spent all morning dropping everything I touched and then trying to do this workout had me falling over and unable to even lunch. I couldn't even maintain rhythm.

Awful.

Pitiful.

I cried. Twice. I just couldn't get this workout to work for me. I mowed the lawn to make up some more calorie burnage. Hoping next week is better. I'm confident!

9pm update:

I'm chanting, "I'm not getting sick" over and over. Face is full of pressure, I'm achy, nose is draining in the back of my throat, head hurts, ears hurt. My son was sick for about four days and despite taking every measure to not get sick, his nasty crud may have infiltrated my defenses. Uuuuuggghhh.
