Short n sweet
Tonight I did 3 sets of 12 narrow push-ups and 3 sets of 12 wide push-ups.
Today someone I hadn't seen in a month at work asked if I was losing weight. That was like the best thing I could have heard! So motivational for someone to notice that doesn't know that I exercise everyday! It means it's working!

Yesterday after work I did my kickbacks on each of the stairs. I got home later than I expected and I was not motivated at all to turn on rockin' body. It was considered a rest day on the program anyway comma so there wasn't anything for me to schedule to do.
This morning I got up and continue with the Rockin body program. Today was Party Express and Hard-core abs and I think it was 38 minutes total. I felt really sluggish but at the same time it seems like it's getting a lot easier for me. My heart rate maintain most the time in the 120's which confirms that yeah, maybe it is getting easier, which is good but also sucks because I'm burning less calories!
I purchased another Beachbody video on ebay by the same dude that does Rockin Body, Shaun T, called Cize, I just found out that the auction was "compromised by a third party" and so there is no video although i paid and they are going to give me a refund. Boo. I was looking forward to that. I'll find it again with a good price.
Off to read!

I'm so proud of myself! I woke up early both yesterday and today to get exercise done before work and I did it. Yesterday I did Rock It Out (?) and today I did Booty Time time. Yesterday was 45 minutes and today was 30 minutes. Off to work!
One day at a time. Once we set a time.

Today after work I use my stairs and I did tricep dips on my stairs. My intention was to do 5 sets for each stair but it got really exhausting so I think I only did 13 or 15 stairs.
Yesterday I used my stairs after work as well, and I did push ups on each stair. I did 10 for each stair.
Back to the program for tomorrow.
This weekend we made plans to go on vacation in December during little brother's birthday and I'm so excited!! So i officially made a goal to lose weight by then. That was something that ididn't do at the beginning of this resolution for areason. But now I am determined to lose 40-50 lbs, but we'll see. That's about 10lbs a month, which i don't think I've ever been able to do but I'm determined. I think moreso now than I've ever been. I've learned about myself that if i make easy goals, I punk out on them sooner than later so this is a challenge in willing to accept. But we'll see as soon as the slightest temptation presents itself haha.
So starting tomorrow, this means war! (against myself!).

Last night after work i was still pretty sore from the lunges the night before so I tried to even out the leg soreness (does this only sound crazy to me??lol). I did 3 sets of 15 vertical leg abductors.
Two weeks ago a friend from work and I were chatting about how much we both love exercise videos that are dancy/cheesy fun and games like Dance Dance Revolution and she told me to try something called Rockin' Body. I found it on ebay for $20 and didn't realize it was beachbody until i had them in my grubby little hands.
I started it this morning despite my sore legs. It even came with a calendar and all the paperwork so I don't even have to use my brain! Lol.
This morning's workout was called Mark, Move & Groove. It was only 15 minutes long and I have to say I was sweating after it. That's exactly what my friend at work said happens with her! Nice to know that I'm on the right page this time LOL.
Alright going to go dye my roots. I'm thinking I might get on the elliptical while I let it process so I'll update this if I do.
One day at a time. When do I see the time.

Tonight I did 10 sets of 10 pulsing reverse lunges. When I got finished with my last one, i felt like my knees are going to give out. I I almost fell getting into bed! LOL
The perks of getting older (and i was mindful of my knee positioning!).

Tonight after work i did squats. As i was walking up my stairs, i did 5 squats on each step. I think i have 19 or 20 stairs.my legs felt so tight when i got to the top and my heart was racing!
Yesterday i used my stairs also. Each stair i did 10 back leg lifts and 10 side leg lifts with each leg and all 19 or 20 steps.
The day b4 that i did overhead tricep extensions. My hubby thinks he's funny bc he messes with me whenever i do them. He tries to pull my arms back down when I'm trying to raise them. I guess the joke is on him though bc it turns out to be a better workout lol (arms are still sore).

Yesterday i did my fav side lunge with knee ups (3/10) and alternating toe touches (??).
Today i did rotating squats, squat pulses and squats with a knee up (3/10).
Gotta get up early! Busy day ahead!

Yesterday i worked my butt off cleaning. I cleaned for probably a good 8 hours, scrubbing walls and the floors in my hands and knees. I vacuumed every square inch of carpet not once or twice, but 3 times and even our stairs twice. By the end of the day my arms were rubber. Im considering this my exercise bc i sweated way more doing this than an hour on my elliptical.
Tonight after work I did alternative bicep curls and overhead tricep extensions with my 8lb hand weights. I was trying to figure out why it was so difficult compared to the last times, and then i remembered my rubber arms. Probably wasn't a smart move doing 2 arm days back to back.
I'm going to be making sime changes in the future, but i need to get a better plan in place. I'll articulate more on the subject on Monday.

Last night I did 5 sets 20 pulsing squats.
Tonight I did 50 kickbacks (idk what they are called). Hope to be back to my normal elliptical routine tomorrow morning. (Work always messes up my exercise routine)

Tonight i did side lunges with a knee up and i did 3 sets of 10. I'm totally brain farting what that's called (my brain is numb from alarm fatigue at work) but is basically using multiple muscle groups combining more than 1 moves (like squat jumps) and (IMO) is super fun with a semi painful outcome. It's basically multitasking with exercise!
Gotta exercise in the AM. No excuses.
I can do this, I am a star!
Haha flashback from 2009!

Compound exercises! That's what is called! :) (yaay, now I'll be able to sleep)
So tired so gonna make this quick...
I have no idea what the things that i did are called, so for all intents and purposes I'm gonna call then kick backs and side leg lifts. Whatever you call them, i did 3 sets of 10 each.

Today was a crazy day at work. It wasn't stressful like most days it was but it was stressful and a completely different way. With the heat being over 110F today, we had rolling blackouts here in Las Vegas all day and it affected my hospital in the later part of the day. Our power kept going out and my telemetry system kept crashing. The air conditioning even stopped working. It happened at the end of my shift so it was quite hilarious to me... But not anybody else LOL oh well (i knew our system was gonna crash at some point) . There weren't any patients affected by it bc the generators kicked in so that was good.
Anyway, tonight i did 3 sets of 30 squats. Hoping to wake up early to get on the elliptical.

I wasn't able to get on the elliptical this morning, but I did squats and walking lunges. I lost count after 25 squats up the stairs and did about 30 walking lunges. Up early to take the big kid to inventors camp and the little one to swim lessons.

This morning before work I got on the elliptical for 20 minutes. I'm on my way to my car right now, coming home from work so I might get on again before bed but I thought I would get this out of the way since I tend to blog so late.
I hope to get up early again in the morning so that I can get on to the elliptical again, but we'll see...

Today was an awful, awful day. I was anxious coming into work today because I feel like they were setting me up for failure and boy did they. I would have quit and walked out but I guess that would be considered patient abandonment and I'd probably have a pretty hard time trying to find another job in this industry if I left that way.it was a really stressful and anxiety filed day and knowing that I'm going to be forced to do this again soon makes me really anxious. It's not safe or a healthy work environment.
I woke up early this morning (anxiety) and just got on the elliptical. I did 15 minutes and then got ready for work. Praise God that I'm off tomorrow. I wish it was possible to find a weekend only, part time 12 hour position before next weekend bc I REALLY don't want to go back. Ever.

This morning I got on to the elliptical trainer for 15 minutes before work and I'm glad that I did. I honestly didn't think I was going to wake up earlier and I definitely wasn't trying to. It just happened that way LOL
I have a big day tomorrow at work and it's causing me a lot of anxiety. I'm hoping that I can fall asleep and sleep throughout the night without waking up multiple times. If I wake up early like today,and I feel energized, I'll get onto the elliptical, but we'll see. I already feel like I'm being set up for failure for tomorrow at work so I don't want to set myself up for failure with this.
Hopefully it works out for the best.
