Ball Butt Blaster & Banning Bright Bulbs

Today, like the past 120 days or so, started with a daily 43.  For today’s move, I used a stability ball.  I started face-down with my fingers and toes touching the ground.

Then I bent my left leg to 90 degrees and flexed my foot.

Now for the real work – squeeze your butt and push your foot up to the ceiling.

Squeeze and Lift!!!

I did 43 with each leg and my butt was definitely burning!!!

The rest of my work-out was back to Les Mills Combat.  Today I did the Combat 30 again. I am really enjoying  the Combat program with the Les Mills crew – always a great work-out and the time flies by!!

I don’t know about everyone (or really anyone for that matter) but I have a few several LOTS of sleep issues!  One of them is I like it to be dark!!!

Pitch Black!

Well, some nights this never seems to happen.  We have a big window, way up high, in our bedroom:

Some nights lots of light comes through this window – if someone drives in the cul-de-sac in the middle of the night (or parks with headlights on) – I see the light!  Some nights the moon is just wrong in the sky and shines straight in.  I think I need a remote controlled blind system for that window or something!!

Another source of light in our bedroom some nights (last night – all night long!!!):

Bright (I have no idea who those people are - default picture 7+ years later!)

This clock has 4 levels of brightness and at night it should be on the dimmest:

However, this is Chris’ clock (not mine!!!) and therefore on his night stand.  Last night it was like a flood light shining in our room all night long.Screen shot 2013-01-12 at 9.28.41 AMThat is a lot of light for someone who wants/needs pitch blackness to sleep!!!  This morning I told Chris that if he left it on bright again at night I was going to kick it and then throw it!!!  His perfectly rested response, “Why didn’t you just wake me up and ask me to turn it off?”   Where is the fun in that?  I much prefer kicking and throwing things after I gripe about them!!!!  Duh!!!!

Happy Saturday – hopefully a sunny day and a dark night ahead!!!
