Even Machines Occasionally Break Down

Today was day 193 out of 365 and the first time since I started this that a daily 43 almost didn’t happen. But – I’m ~~stubborn~~ determined to reach my goal so I pushed through!

For the 43 I used an 8 pound medicine ball and my double step.

14" double step (the Transfirmer) — 14″ double step (the Transfirmer)

I held the ball with both hands and stepped up with my right leg while lifting my left knee and twisting to the left. Of course, after doing 43 on the right side I had to switch sides and do a second set of 43.

I struggled to even figure out what to do today (which is rare for me!) and this was the best I could come up with.

The rest of my workout – a big fat zero!!!

Yesterday afternoon I got the worst headache (I have headaches lots of days but not like this) – I’m calling it a migraine because I had most all the symptoms of one. This morning it is a little better but still hanging on. After the trouble I had coming up with a 43 and then how tired I felt doing it I decided to take the day off.

I may not be a machine but I’m usually pretty tough – it always pisses me off when I can’t do what I really want to do!!
