Committing to something has its ups and downs, highs and lows. Last night, I went to bed tired and sore (a testament to how out-of-shape I am) and this morning I did not want to get out of bed. I woke up feeling the opposite of rested – grumpy and already resenting the day. Fast-forward,Continue reading “Day 16 of Challenge #1 – Stress Reliever”

Day 15 of Challenge #15 – Halfway There!
It was MLK Day on Monday! While we wish we could have volunteered that day to celebrate the teachings of Dr. King in some way, neither of us got the day off (to be clear, we do volunteer throughout the year). We did, however, both get the perk of being able to work remotely. WorkingContinue reading “Day 15 of Challenge #15 – Halfway There!”
Day 13 of Challenge #1 – Counter Inertia
Weekends are meant for sleeping in (unless you work on weekends, then I hope weekdays are there for you). A typical Saturday for me is sleeping in until 10 AM, depending on how late I stay up the night before, and rolling out of bed at noon…maybe later. On days like these, I tend toContinue reading “Day 13 of Challenge #1 – Counter Inertia”
Day 12 of Challenge #1 – Proper Form
We’ve upped our game and decided to continue alternating our workouts: one day on the elliptical/one day of something else. Not only does it avoid monotony, it also helps work out different muscle groups. Don’t get us wrong—the elliptical’s great. It’s low-impact and benefits several muscle groups. The movements on it easily activate the lowerContinue reading “Day 12 of Challenge #1 – Proper Form”
Day 7 of Challenge #1 – Small Victories
It was the first time in 7 days that we didn’t work out and truth be told, we didn’t miss it. It felt good to not have to fit going to the gym into our already jam-packed day. Sundays are rarely ever a day of leisure in our house. We’re doing errands, cleaning, meeting friends,Continue reading “Day 7 of Challenge #1 – Small Victories”
Day 6 of Challenge #1 – Break Your Own Record
6 consecutive days of working out – done and done! I can’t remember the last time I went to the gym 6 times in one month, let alone in one week. Hubby and I each worked out for 3 hours this week, which is like the entirety of The Irishman. There were so many opportunitiesContinue reading “Day 6 of Challenge #1 – Break Your Own Record”
Day 5 of Challenge #1 – Pen It In
Our little man, Yoshi, got neutered today. He was such a trooper throughout, but became mopey once the cone came on and he realized he couldn’t play with any of his pup friends (little does he know that’ll be the case for a week). Anyway, who could resist that sad face?! All I wanted toContinue reading “Day 5 of Challenge #1 – Pen It In”
