Quick update

I have not been doing good on blogging but I am doing well with my workouts.  I am now doing 4 sets of 40 second high intensity interval training 3 times a week.  I felt yesterday that I could have done more sets but did not want to push it as I really didn't feel like starting when I got up in the morning.

The journal is not going well as I am not feeling hungry anytime, and when I am trying to eat according to my hunger scale makes it very difficult to survive if I don't eat at all.

Anyway I am behind on work so I must go.  I will chat soon.

Day 1

I am back.  What a crazy few weeks it has been.

They say it takes 21 days to form a new habit.  So this is day 1.

I have decided to do some high intensity interval training.  I started this morning.  I have to say I enjoyed it and wanted to do more but I need to start off gradually.

I did three 30 second cycles of high intensity exercise with 1.5 minutes recovery.  I will do this 3x/week, with 2 days of strength training on top of 5 weekly yoga classes.  After a few weeks I will increase it to 40 seconds, then 50 then 1 minute, and once comfortable with that increase to 4, then 5, then 6 sets.  I am hoping this will bring me faster results.

I also will create a food and exercise journal noting
the time I exercised
where I exercised
how long I exercised
what type of exercise I did
 how hard I felt I exercised
whether I exercised with others or by myself
my emotions when I exercised
the time I ate
the food I ate
the amount of food I ate
how the food was prepared
how hungry I was when I ate
where I ate
my emotions when I ate
what time I went to sleep
how long I slept
and my stress level

I am feeling so grateful to have my finances in shape and now I need the body to follow.

Jan 14

What a busy two weeks it has been.  I have finished two correspondence courses, started cleaning once a week at the Yoga studio in exchange for Juliet and I to get unlimited classes and started a once a day cleaning schedule that should have my house looking fantastic always.  As for fitness it has dropped.  I would tell you more about the two weeks but to be honest so much has gone on I am running from moment to moment that most of it I have forget, yet at the time it seemed so all-consuming.

This morning has been a very big struggle.  I wanted to get up at 6:30 do my workout, vacuum, go grocery shopping, teach Aqua, run my car over to the dealership, work on my newsletter, pick up the car, go to Wind to get my new phone (at last), then make dinner, prepare and teach childbirth education and do reflexology for myself.  I woke up mentally but my body was YELLING at me to go back to sleep.  All I want to do is take the day off.  Some things I cannot get out of, and my hope is the Aquafit will turn the tides of my energy.  I wonder if I am picking up on Marc's stress as today is the big launch of his project and he is stressed.  I also wonder if I am starting to come down with the illness the kids had.  Then again maybe it is just a case of the Mondays.  Either way I will honour my body as best as possible and see what tomorrow brings.
