Going from 0 to 100 Might Qualify me for an Idiot Award!!

Today’s 43 was a great one to work on balance!  I did a single leg, bent-over row.

Start on your right side (or left – whichever you want to do first!!):

Right leg first
Right leg first (blurry)

Then row (keep leg up for all reps):

squeeze shoulder blades
squeeze shoulder blades

After completing all reps (43 for me!) then you get to switch legs and start over!!

time for the left side
time for the left side
squeeze
squeeze

(Can you tell these pictures were all after I was completely done and showered – dressed for a day of PE – and totally rocking my lovely compression stockings!!)

I got up at 5:00 to do my work-out because I’m an idiot subbing PE today.  I struggled through my entire 43 and workout today.  I did a SELF DVD – Trim and Tone Fast.  It was a fine workout – 60 minutes with a warm-up plus the following 6 sections and a cool-down:

  1. legs
  2. back
  3. arms & shoulders
  4. chest
  5. core
  6. full body

There wasn’t any cardio in this workout which was perfect for  me today because I was having a hard enough time just doing basics this morning.

I think the fact that I spent almost 3 weeks like thisScreen shot 2013-05-17 at 8.15.07 AMand the past 4 days I’ve been more like thisScreen shot 2013-05-17 at 8.16.13 AMhave left me a little drained and very sore.  I’m telling myself I’m just sore from lack of activity and that I need to just suck it up!!!

In reality, I think the fact that I took the DR very literally when she said that I couldn’t hurt anything by “jogging” at this point – I felt the need to hit it hard and now I’m paying feeling it big time!!

Add to the workouts and all of my normal daily activity the fact that I haven’t slept more than 1-2 hours at a time for the past several nights (my legs sort-of throb all night long) and I should probably wear this today:Screen shot 2013-05-17 at 8.20.28 AMBut – I won’t!!  I’ll just go up to the school and spend the day teaching PE to a bunch of wound-up kids (last Friday of the school year!!)!!!  Oy!!

Oh, well – I can rest over the weekend – OH WAIT – that won’t happen since we have 6-7 graduation parties to attend and we have to take Jordan up to the middle school at 2:45am Saturday morning and pick him up between 3:00 & 4:00am Sunday morning!! (love a band contest/6 Flags trip!!)

Happy Fun Friday!!  I’m thinking today will be a Diet Coke day for sure (rare for me but…)
