Re: got my workout in despite interruptions!

[Guest guest]

Good job on getting your workout in despite the interruptions, ! You might want to put your phone on cover though until your workout is done and reply to messages then? Just a thought!

Thanks !

I have to keep the phone with me (when I remember) so I can check caller ID in case my kids' school calls me for some reason. I don't normally pick up during workouts for other people unless I know it is an unusual or important call. Call me a paranoid mom but 2 years ago I got a call nearly every single week from my son. He'd felt ill, gotten hurt or whatever. It was an awful year but ever since then I've just kept a phone near me just in case (this year so far I've only gotten one call telling me my daughter was feeling ill and a couple of less urgent calls from teachers but I still gotta make myself available just in case). Thanks for the idea though!!!!

Hi !

The phone interruptions are a big reason why I like my

4:30/5:00 a.m. workouts - I know if the phone rings

then I had better answer it! I had to laugh about

your post b/c that very morning, I tried to do the 30

min Slim Series Express Cardio Core and in that 30

minutes I had at least three interruptions! So much

easier for me to do it when the rest of the world is

sleeping!

I thought about that... getting up extra early. Just can't handle it. I'm more of a night owl than a morning person so I like to stay up too late to get up that early. I've done it before and it has worked out okay but I'm not sure if I can do that all the time. My phone seemed to ring all day that day and then the next day, when I was gone from 8:45 until 1:30 there were no calls recorded on my caller ID!! DH and the kids are now home until after New Year's so I might get up extra early just to have time to myself for my workouts and breakfast without them around. We'll see though...

,

I'm a night owl and can't get up in the mornings to get a workout before everyone else is up to interrupt, so I tend to get my workouts in at 10pm just so I avoid these types of interruptions. That and I'm just so busy through the day that I can't find the time to squeeze it in any other time sometimes. LOL

Glad you got something in though, and enjoyed what you did!

got my workout in despite interruptions!

Way to go me!! I wanted to do Ripped to the Core today (for the first time, I've had it for several weeks from netflix and haven't been able to do it yet). I was almost done with the warm up and wham, the phone rings and since I hadn't brought it with me I had to run upstairs to get it. Didn't recognize the number so I answered it. Turned out to be a Brownie mom wanting to bring me a gift from her daughter! How sweet but can you come later? I'm trying to get a workout in. She was actually on her way to do the same thing and is stopping by when she's done. Then I tried backing up the dvd and ended up pressing a button that changed the channel and I couldn't figure out how to get my dvd player to work again so I had to find the manual and figure it out. Did that, started trying to find where I'd left off again and realized, I don't have enough time to do all this and still sit for a few minutes before I leave for work. So... I thought I'll just do Walk Slim 3 Miles for 45 minutes instead. Put it in and then thought no, I'm not sure about this either. Finally settled on Kathy Power Walk for Weight Loss and just did the 30 minute workout and the stretch. During the workout the phone rings and it is the WW leader I work with tonight (I'm a receptionist tonight) and since she usually only calls me for something really important I paused the dvd and talked to her (she was sick and wanted me to sub for her tonight which I'm going to do). Went back to the workout and finished it without further issues. Got some light toning in with it as I used weights (which I usually do with this) and worked really hard jogging/prancing so I made it worthwhile even though I didn't get "ripped" from it! I had ANOTHER phone call while I was in the shower but there was no message left so I don't feel a need to call that person back. Now I'm just waiting for the mom who was supposed to be here 15 minutes ago and I really need to leave in the next 5 or 10 minutes. I don't have her cell phone number either so I hope she comes by soon (not that I care that much about getting a gift, I just don't want to seem ungrateful and not be here for her).

Anyway, I'm thrilled I got a good workout in despite the challenges this morning! Tomorrow morning I'm assisting in my daughter's classroom for their holiday party and then have to run errands afterwards. I'm hoping to do a short workout afterwards but am not sure. Got 3 in this week though so I'm happy with that much!
