Day 60

This morning I woke up and got onto the elliptical trainer for 20 minutes and then I got on again this evening for another 20 minutes. Tomorrow is the first of the month and I guess that means that I have to do measurements and a picture and all that jazz... Maybe I'll get around to getting a picture if I can get my husband to do it. I doubt there's been much change I just haven't felt like my heart is been in it at all this past month. We'll see.

One day at a time. one choice at a time.

I can do all things in Christ who gives me strength.

Day 59

Today I had a pretty active day at work. They floated me down to the emergency room and so I was able to get in a lot of steps (it was cray-cray). I was able to get in 8k steps of my 10,000 step goal for the day, on a work day, which is pretty amazing! Normally I get in like no more than 3,000 steps on a work day.

I completed my 10,000 steps on the elliptical and watch the rest of an episode on Netflix. I ended the day with 10,200 steps and 15 minutes on the elliptical.

I've been praying about the issues that I'm having with my minutes And God as reason why I got into that job so if he wants me to continue I know that he can fix this problem, that I know that I can't. I really thought I was going to have problems sleeping last night but then I just remembered my favorite scripture Philippians 4:4-7. Versus 6-7 really helped my anxiety:

6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving present your requests to God.
7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Lay your worries at His and He'll take care of the rest.

One day at a time. One choice at a time.

Day 58

Today was a really crappy day. I am being audited by the state of NV state Board of nursing for my CNA certification (random audit), and I can't find proof of all of my CEUs. I'm super anal and always have my stuff together and completed. I have never been audited before so I just figured if/when I was,  I can just print my certificates from work. I started to do that,  but I can't find 21 minutes worth. They revamped the program we use and it's gone! I need 24 hours and I can inly find 23.65 hours worth. I have to call education on Monday, and if they can't help me,  then I might possibly have my certification taken away. This is awful :( the waiting till Monday to possibly get this resolved is killing me.

I am so not in the mood to exercise. I'm anxious and worried and I have a huge knot in my stomach. I did 3 sets of 10 squats and lunges. I hate today and am gonna go to bed.

One day at a time. one choice at a time.

6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Day 57

The end of the month is quickly approaching and I'm anxious about my measurements and numbers. I know I shouldn't be but I am.

So I don't know what the deal is with my alarm clock at this morning I didn't get up AGAIN. My husband woke me up as he was leaving for work and I mention that my alarm didn't go off and he said that it did because it woke him up. So I looked at my phone and it gave me some weird message about 1 minute delay auto shut off. I don't know what that was so I set my alarm three different times so that I'm not late for work tomorrow.

Tonight I worked on core and triceps. I did overhead dumbbell tricep extensions, 3 sets of 12 with 5 pounds, and I did dumbbell side bends also three sets of 12.

We'll see how tomorrow goes...

One choice at a time. One day at a time.

Day 56

I woke up so late today that I need to reevaluate my late night exercise sessions. We were so late that my son was over 30 minutes late for school (we usually get there 30 mins early).

I have to start getting up early to exercise again. I feel better now so that can't be an excuse. Better choices.

Tonight I only did 10 mins so I don't stay up too late. Gotta get up early.

One day at a time. One choice at a time.

Day 55

Starting to feel back to normal.

Gonna be a short post as it's waaay passed my bedtime.

Twenty-five mins on the elliptical.

One day at a time. one choice at a time.

Day 54

I still don't feel well. I have no appetite and my stomach hurts. We sent the kids to bed early for fighting (best decision ever!) So I get to go to bed early too.

I forced myself on the elliptical tonight and was only able to do 10 mins. Better than nothing. I really hope I wake up better!

Day 53

I have been feeling less than normal all day. I have a sour stomach, body aches, a headache and I feel exhausted and nauseous. Ugh. I drank a lot of water and didn't each much. I feel yucky.

I just worked on biceps and shoulders today,  3 sets of 10 with 5# bicep curls and shoulder shrugs with static holds. My arms wobbled and shook the whole time. I need to sleep this off. Hubby said he could hear my stomach from across the room. I need to sleep this off. I pray I wake up better. I have a busy day tomorrow!

One choice at a time. one day at a time.

Day 52

I really don't know what my deal is. I keep forgetting to blog my exercise.

Last night after work I got onto the elliptical for 43 minutes. I started watching a new series called Grimm.

Day 51

Tonight I did squats and lunges. I started taking Joint Juice a couple weeks ago and an eager to see how fast it works. Definitely less discomfort with squats. I was a little nervous with the lunges.

Off to bed and back to work again.

Day 50

I can't believe that is been 50 days. It went by so fast!

Well, I thought the stomach bug left this house, but I was wrong. Little brother started throwing up again tonight on the way to Target. Gees. I hope it passes sooner than later. The doctor said it could last for 2-3 weeks. Oye!!

Tonight I wanted to get on the elliptical but I spent the time that I had cleaning up vomit.

I did 3 sets of 12 lying dumbell overhead extensions and dumbbell chest press/fly combos. Off to work in the morning.

One day at a time. One choice at a time.

Day 49

Last night was awful. Little Brother was up every 2 hours throwing up until 7am. I'm so tired but got on the elliptical for 43 mins and watched another episode of Pretty Little Liars.

I dug my trusty heart rate monitor up and wore it tonight for kicks n giggles. Totally different info than what my elliptical AND Fitbit gives me. Really disappointing. Totally figures. Recording data for now until I know what to do with the numbers (gotta dig out my old books with the equations).

Good night.

Day 48

Oh my gosh,  babies throwing up left and right today. I am only able to sneak away long enough to do bicep curls and dumbbell lateral raises.

Day 47

Wow. I totally forgot to blog yesterday's exercise. I got on to the elliptical trainer last night for 43 minutes and watch another episode of Pretty Little Liars.

Day 46

Hahaha I totally forgot to write this. I completely forgot that I had a blog abs just sat there lying in bed trying to sleep,  but couldn't bc I felt like I was forgetting to do something.

I watched the new episode of The Walking Dead and did 45 minutes on the elliptical this afternoon. So tired. Good night!

Day 45

I just got off of the elliptical for 43 minutes (a full episode on netflix).I'm so tired but proud of myself for doing this on a work day. My motivation was knowing tomorrow is a holiday so I don't have to take the kids to school and can sleep in if my body let's me.

Off to bed.

One day at a time. one choice at a time.

Day 44

Such a long day at work. I got home almost 2 hours late. I ran to the store to pick up some stuff to make blueberry buckle for my co-workers tomorrow. It's taking forever to bake and I just want to go to sleep. I've been doing squats waiting for it to bake. Ugh.

One day at a time. one choice at a time.

Day 43

Today i worked with my free weights. I worked on chest and triceps. I did a combination chest fly and chest press with 5 pound dumbbells 3 sets of 15. And I did tricep overhead extension and lying tricep extensions both 3 sets of 15 as well.

Have to work tomorrow. Yaay (boo). Wow... this week went by really fast. Btw, going to sleep early did not help me wake up any earlier this morning. In fact I was late again! Lol. Oye.

Day 42

This morning I got onto the elliptical trainer for 42 minutes. I also made my 10000 step goal. I'm going to try to hit the sack early tonight and see if it helps me to wake up early tomorrow morning.

Day 41

I just saw that day 39 was a draft and never posted... Oh well.

I just finished 30 mins on the elliptical. I'm having a really hard time waking up in the morning and I'm exhausted through the day. Idk why (there are some reasons but they have never hindered me before). I know these late night exercise sessions probably don't help.  Anyway,  I wish I would just wake up early and get exercise over with. I guess one day at a time? And maybe a more obnoxious alarm tone? lol.

One day at a time. One choice at a time.

Day 40

Today I touched up my hair so I was on the elliptical lot today. I was on for a total of 42 minutes this morning while I was waiting for my hair to process and I got back on for additional 20 minutes before bed just to round off the hour. I'm tired so I'm going to bed.

One day at a time. One choice at a time.

Day 39

I woke up really late this morning so I didn't get on the elliptical. I got on to the elliptical this evening for 30 minutes. Super boring but that's it. I started taking Joint Juice today in the hopes that I can start to do more active and high impact exercises. I'm sure it'll be a while before I see anything come of it though.

One day at a time. One choice at a time.

Day 38

Today was a work day and I fit home an hour later than I normally do,  but I was still able to find the motivation to get on the elliptical for 30 mins.  I found it in the strangest thing! A plug that I never noticed before and the cord to my phone charger lol.

When I got upstairs to get ready for bed my phone was almost dead. I use my phone on the elliptical bc I watch Netflix on it and track with runkeeper. I can't do this if my phone is dead, which usually results in me finding something else to do,  not as active. Anyway that's where the plug/cord comes into play and the rest is history.  Charged my phone, watched netflix, tracked my stuff. Yaay. Gonna get up early to do this again in the morning.

Good night!

Day 37

Today was a pretty stressful day at work. I'm glad to be home. But I'm exhausted. I only did some free weights. I did shoulder shrugs, bicep curls, dumbbell front raises and upright rows. My arms are shaking!

I'm exhausted! Off to bed.

Day 36

This morning for 30 minutes I got onto the elliptical trainer and watched Netflix. I think it's starting to become a habit now so it's becoming much easier to exercise everyday(thank goodness). I still struggle with the weekend so because of work. I want to wake up earlier than I normally do to exercise but it's just so hard, plus I don't want to wake my husband up as well. He shouldn't have to suffer lol. I'm going to ask him if he would mind waking up early tomorrow so that I can get it in.

Ooh, I got my 10K steps in for the day too :).

Have a good night!

This morning I did 20 minutes on the elliptical. I did an additional 30 minutes on the elliptical this evening.

Day 34

Today I got onto the elliptical trainer for a total of 55 minutes. I did 30 this morning and additional 25 this evening. I also made my 10K step goal for the day and I was on point with my diet. Too bad everyday can't be like today. Much easier said than done. :)

Day 33

Today is almost over and I'm glad. It's been an interesting day. I woke up an hour after my alarm went off and that pretty much set the pace for my day.

No elliptical tonight. Trying to switch it up a little. I worked with my weights. Biceps and back. A combination of rows and curls basically until fatigue instead of focusing on numbers.

One day at a time. One choice at a time.

Day 32

I'm about to post day 33 and I'm just now noticing that i never published this last night grrrr...

Oh my gosh last night was awful I didn't get to sleep until probably after midnight which means that I got less than my normal 7 to 8 hours in which I was a little baby today. My 4 year old woke up and it was so hard to get him back down to sleep I was cranky all day.

I did my measurements and weigh in but I forgot to save them so I lost all my data.

I did 30 minutes on the elliptical trainer tonight and I'll try the measurements again tomorrow morning. I do remember that I lost 5.5 pounds though. Yaay!
