Oops

The last few days have been a giant Oops! I have not exercised since Wednesday because Wed's workout was killer and my legs were having issues. I had surgery on my feet and legs and it has really affected my calves. I can't use them as well as other people. It's really hard for me to get on my tip toes or do anything that requires jumping or anything like it. So the 30 day shred workout was 10 times harder for me since I had to do butt kicks and jumping jacks and jump roping. Wednesday I turned on the video and tried to do the warm up jumping jacks and literally almost fell over. My legs just gave out! I modified the workout and finished it, used the elliptical for a workout, and then did weight circuits by doing poses and holds. It was really hard! Think yoga with weights. I was dying on Thursday morning!

Thursday and Friday we were out and about all day and then I would be alone with kids in the evening while John was getting some things done, so by bedtime I just crawled into bed and zonked. Saturday we did yard work in the morning and then were gone the rest of the day, too.

Eating wise, I had a hard time this week. When I'm super busy, away from home, and really tired, I don't make the best choices. But the good news I went through the fridge and tossed all the bad for me stuff. And I'm getting right back on track today (Sunday). I'm going to exercise today, which I don't normally do, but I've got to to get back on track. We may go to the park and walk laps around the lake. Yes, lake - with fish and everything! It's really pretty and the kids love to go there. So that could be a win-win today.
