I confess. I did have the last ice cream sandwich last night.
Today has been a very long work day. I work a double shift on Saturdays. And even thought I work from home, while I’m working, I stay in my craffice (craft room/office) just as if I was going to an office to work. And even though the hours are sometimes long, there are benefits.
It was late today before I did my challenges. My back hurts and legs are still not happy with me. But I think I might be finding my groove. Maybe. I’m hoping. Today’s challenges consisted of:
Abs: 55 sit ups, 65 crunches, 33 leg raises, and 42 secs planks.
Squat: 120 regular squats.
Arms: 15 opposite arm and leg raises, 15 arm circles, 15 floor tricep dips, and 9 wall push ups.
Butt: 15 goblet squats, 15 donkey kicks, 15 sumo squats, and 9 side lunges.
Thighs: 15 lunge jumps, 15 forward lunges, 15 side lunges, and 9 sumo squats.
Cardio: 1 min 45 secs butt kicks, 1 min 45 secs high knees, and 1 min 45 secs bear crawls.
I often wonder who came up with this torture… I mean exercises. I am sure there is a reason. I am thankful that I do my exercises alone in my home. I never know what sounds will be made (and from where) when I do leg raises. But I’m doing these challenges because I want to. I made a decision that I would do them and I am going to do my best to stick with it. Now if I could just be a little bit more motivated with my diet!!!
Today I had hopes of eating better. And it started out okay I guess. Today’s intake was:
morning coffee, because I am human, no breakfast, turkey sandwich with mayo and some veggies chips for lunch and for dinner I had 1 chicken tender, some fries, ranch dressing, 1 corn nugget (my husband gave it to me), and an apple.
While my hubby and I were watching Big Texas Fix tonight, my youngest son brought me a coffee mug full of mint chocolate ice cream. He said it was for Mother’s Day. I ate it. It was good. But I refuse to over-indulge. Everything in moderation, at least that would be a good start.
I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s challenges, especially since it is a rest day for everything except the squats.
Please come back tomorrow for day 12.
