NANCY Re: Tonya and Re: got my workout in despite interruptions!

[Guest guest]

Hi , I don't have kids so my inner night owl can live on. I don't think I've ever gotten up that earlier unless I was going to some workshop or something....I would probably injure myself if I tried to do a video at that time and swimming FORGET IT I would drown! Jen nancydewolf wrote: I used to swim every morning at 7:00... watched the sun come up a lot of days as I did my laps. That was a long time ago. Now I get up most days at 6:30 just to be up, dressed and preferably fed before I get my kids up at 7. To work out before that would mean getting up around 5... nope... can't do that. Can't work out late at night either, I'm in relaxation mode and don't want to get the endorphins going just before I try to go to bed (usually by 11 only because I have to get up so early, on days I don't have to get up that early, like tomorrow, I stay up later the night before, like now!). 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!
