The cold took me down and out. I cancelled training with a client on Monday I was not doing well. Tuesday I could not make it to Diaperfit but did manage to teach Muscle conditioning. It was good. I took it a bit easy, the naps during the day helped.
Today I did train with that client for the last time. Sad to have it come to an end but happy to start in the new year back to Cardio Challenge at the YMCA. I really miss that group. I then went on a desperate search for my Earl Grey Vanilla tea. I have not been able to find it for over a month and I drank my last bag on Monday. No luck finding it before I had to head over to Tansley Woods to teach Aquafit. Didn't feel so great after class. My voice was rotten and being in the humidity did a number on me, BUT on my way home I stopped off at Frescho and found my tea. I picked up 8 containers, came home had some lunch and had a nap.
Tomorrow I teach Aquafit at 10 am and 7:30 pm assuming I don't get called to a birth. I have decided this week though I am desperate to reach my goal, that recovering from this cold and being in tip top shape for this crazy on call period takes priority to my workouts. I can't risk depleting myself any further.

December 13th
Today was not a good day. I have succumb to the cold I was fighting. I decided to sleep in and take the morning and afternoon off. I got some good sleep and hope that tonight a good night sleep will bring me back round to a healthy me.

December 10th
Okay so my DOMS song turned into more of a country western "My dog ran away and I accidentally ran over him once, wasn't sure what I hit so I backed up, then rolled forward and back three more times, while on the phone to my wife who told me she was leaving me for my brother, and cousin, and she would be leaving the quintuplets with me" kind of song. I also started to develop a tickle in my throat so no yoga last night, but everything else went according to plan.
This morning my alarm went off for 6:15 am. I realized that I had not taken out my workout out the clothes the night before and would have to scramble to get them in the dark without waking up Marc, my whole body said "Go back to bed, you can do your workout once the kids are on the bus, you will have over an hour before Aquafit, get more sleep" smart body. So I did. Elizabeth was running late for the bus so we ran. Once home I really didn't feel like doing my workout but I dragged my butt downstairs. I do feel a little better but I am not going to push myself today. I have Aquafit at 10 am, and lunch that I may duck out of as I don't want to make anyone sick, groceries to pick up for the party, a client who may be going in for a gel induction at some time today, and a holiday party tonight. I have started the Cold FX, probiotics and a high dose of Vitamin D. I am trying to hydrate more than normal. Hopefully this will be as bad as it gets.

Oh D.O.M.S. how I love you. My pecs, abs, hamstrings and back are singing your praises.
Yesterday went well. Today I have done 30 minutes of the Cardio Burn Hip Hop Abs, at 9:00 am I will be out walking with a client for another 30 minutes. I have some work I need to get done at the computer this afternoon. I planned to do it well Marc was out last night. I was going to clean until 10:00 pm and then sit down and get some work done but he came home early 10:03 pm, I was just finishing my cleaning. Tonight I have a dinner meeting with a new client but hope to come home and do some Yoga. Maybe I will be able to talk Marc into doing the Yoga for two DVD we got one or two Christmases ago. It hasn't been opened yet. What do you say honey, are you game?

December 8th
I forgot to weigh myself first thing in the morning so I will do it again tomorrow because I was two lbs upand I got to be honest that really discouraged me from my goal. It means 12 lbs in 17 days and I question whether that is safe. If I really focus I think I could do it. So I will weigh in tomorrow and see if some of it was water and post workout weight.
As for my measurements I am down 1" overall.
Neck is still holding at 13.5"
The shoulders are holding at 42"
My biceps are up 1/4" to 12.25"
My chest is down 1/4" woohoo to 38.5"
My waist is still 37"
My hips are down 1/2" to 43.5"
My thighs are down 1/2" to 22.5"
Calves still 15"
These past few weeks have been really bad for me, not sleeping well and eating all sorts of things and at times I shouldn't. Now that I am back on track I am expecting to see huge changes next week. I will let you know in 10 days.

December 7th
Yesterday was a great day. I did my walk to Appleby Mall and walked for an hour or more. I have set up two new resolutions
1) Get 7 hours sleep every night. That means to be up for my workout at 6:15 am I must be in bed and asleep by 11:15 pm. After Christmas I will aim to get 7.5 hours of sleep, and by my birthday 8 hours. Last night it was 11:20 before I was in bed but I was passed out cold on the couch prior to that.
2) If it will take me a minute or less to do something, I will do it straight away. I delay the smallest jobs and it doesn't make sense. It feels good and the house looks better for it.
The body is feeling good today. On Saturday at Zumba I thought I would enjoy a hip hop dance class. So today I pulled out my Hip Hop Abs DVD. It was not as cardio intense as I was looking for this morning but it still brought my heart rate up and I could feel many of the moves. This morning I will be heading over to Tansley Woods at 9:30 am to teach Diaperfit. I may add an extra walk in during the day, or maybe I can convince the family to go for a walk tonight using the excuse of checking out the christmas lights to get them out there. I also have my muscle conditioning class at 7:00 pm. I am definitely going to sleep well tonight.
Tomorrow morning I weigh in so I promise to let you know how it goes. Have a good one.

Back on track
New week, counting down the days until Christmas and needing desperately to get my ass in gear.
I have had a rough few weeks. Feeling very grumpy, not sleeping well, major lack of focus and concentration. Enough is enough. Time to get back on my own personal exercise wagon. I got up at 6:15 this morning to do one of my strength training workouts. It was good, my legs feel a little rubbery right now but it is a nice feeling. Once I get the kids on the bus I plan to go for a walk or jump on the trampoline for a while. I need a new timer so I was thinking about taking the bike trails to Appleby Mall and picking one up at Dollarama, walking back having a quick shower then out to do my groceries and start some baking/preparation for the holidays. I have lunch with my Aquafit crew December 10th at Swiss Chalet followed by an evening with my doula sisters sharing and indulging, the 11th is our holiday house warming party, the 18th I host Christmas for my side of the family, the 19th we are celebrating with my Mom's side of the family, Christmas day we are hosting Marc's side of the family, the 27th with his Dad's side and January 1st with his Mom's. I am confident I can reach my goal and maintain it over the holidays.
Anyway back to Monday, have a great day everyone.
