Yesterday I was lame on the exercise and eating front. Boo! 😦
Wednesday, January 9th: Firm Your Butt workout.
Push up challenge: 8 FU Push ups. I totally forgot to do the knee ones, since I procrastinated on those and said I was doing them “later”. Boo, #2!
I went into the office yesterday because I needed to switch out my work Blackberry. Yes, I am still on a Blackberry for work. It works for me – in fact works very well – when I don’t have one that sucks battery juice like it’s the sweet sweet nectar of the gods. Well the first replacement BB could not be registered…the second replacement BB was an extremely old model that sucked battery juice like it was that sort of sweet & sour drink that you want to chug but can’t. So yesterday’s visit to the office was to work with the super awesome ladies who always get it right. Now I’m just waiting for the Helpdesk to call me back to set up my corporate email account so I can be productive when I’m away from my desk.
All that busyness went on past the time I wanted to leave – so I missed my Vinyasa Flex class. Boo, #3!
I need to just face the simple fact that I am a morning exerciser.
Yesterday morning, or Janathon Day 9 – I did this Firm Your Butt workout from Self magazine. I would love to have this workout give me this butt. Seriously.
**This is also why I’m starting off the day with a green smoothie – because no matter how much you exercise it is really what you eat that matters. Anyhoo…
So yesterday morning I grabbed my exercise ball and told my butt to get lost. Let me tell you something, it is not easy to get your balance on those exercise balls.
The first exercise was not too difficult because you had really 3 touchpoints with the ground, your knee, your foot and the ball you were leaning on. But the rest all have just 2 touchpoints – which means you have got to go slow and focus. Your core is essential to maintaining your balance on these balls. The “easiest” one? Booty pop for sure. I can booty pop my brains out – but good gravy the others required much more concentration.
Janathon Day 10 started off with 9 FU push ups. I’m planning on going to my Muscle & Flow class tonight – then going to do the Tone Your Gut workout from the same Self magazine if you’ve got the physical copy – or just clickety-click on that link up there for free.
Breakfast started with a green smoothie…and a hot cup of cinnamon & honey.
I’ve been reading about the benefits of cinnamon & honey so started to drink a “hot toddy” with those two delights in the morning. Looks like you’re drinking reddish brown water – but tastes pretty nice.
Now I’m ready to start the day. Only 3 conference calls on the docket today – but I’ve got a lot of thinking and writing to do so I can finish up my strategy document. I expect some staring into space will occur.
See ya later
