Day 78 of 125

Monday, July 19th, 2010

I don't have much to say tonight and I have about another 30 minutes worth of stuff to do before I can get to bed. And I really need the sleep, as it's past 9:30pm and le fuzz will have me up between 4am and 5am when the alarm is supposed to go off. I guess it will depend on when the birds will start to taunt him out the window.

So, quick recap instead. Fit Test #2 today, happy with the numbers, especially the push-ups, as my wrists are actually curved from having not healed properly from all the breaks I've had. So the number below is a big, big deal for me. Also, down another 1.5 pounds. I am hoping this becomes a trend throughout my Insanity challenge as I would love, love, LOVE to finally get rid of this remaining junk in the trunk and fit into a pretty little dress that's sadly been hanging in my closest for far too long.

I hope everyone had a great day and I hope you had a wonderful weekend. :)

Day 76 of 125

Saturday, July 17th, 2010

Slept most of the morning, till about 10:30 am. Certainly felt a lot better when it came time to exercise and I think it shows in my stats. I am so happy I don't have to exercise tomorrow, I'm hoping I can sneak in one more quick nap in the morning after feeding the fuzzball because I am going to bed so late tonight. (11:30 pm) (Blame the last Harry Potter movie, wanted to catch up for the new one in November.)

I really hope to get a good nights sleep but last night wasn't any good, just as they weren't all week long. The nap was slightly better but I still had the issues of weird/bad dreams from having too much on my mind to worry about and also having to get up to go to the bathroom from of all the extra water I'm drinking because of the Insanity workouts.

I hope everyone had a great day and I hope you are having a wonderful weekend. :)

Day 73 of 125

Yes, you read that right below, I had a 400 calories snack. I had a package of peanuts while we waited for the heart specialist for my cats last set of blood pressure, ultrasound and x-ray results this afternoon. I finished my workout at noon and only had enough time to eat my wrap before having to run out the door and get my baby to the animal hospital for all his tests and by 2pm I was starving, so I grabbed the nuts rather than a chocolate bar, cookie or glorified cake in the shape of a muffin.

I am so, so, so happy and releived to report that all his tests came back well. We were worried that his heart was enlarging, as he has a heart murmur but his latest set of test results show no enlargement in the last 3 months, which means we don't have to worry about going back for another year to repeat the tests and see if anything has changed then. My precious baby boy seems to have a clear bill of health at the moment and this makes his mama overjoyed. Now we just need to worry about his tests at the end of the month to see if his Pancreatitis is completely gone yet or not and whether or not he needs anymore antibiotics. Fingers crossed those tests come out just as good as these ones today.

Another night which I slept horribly and it showed in my workout. I was just barely there and dying throughout the whole routine. I was hoping to get a good nights sleep tonight, to get me back on track but I've kind of screwed myself over already. When we got home from the animal hospital it was basically feeding time for all of us. Fed the cat, had our dinner, finished eating at 7pm and then went to the bedroom to relax on the bed and talk about the day. Big mistake! We feel asleep for two hours. I've been up for the last 3 in a sort of daze, slowly getting all the chores done that should have been taken care of earlier, so that I could have gone to bed at my (supposed to be) usual hour of 9pm, since my cat has me up around 4:30ish every morning (thanks to the birds teasing him out the windows on our front lawn) with the bedroom alarm clock going off at 5am. It's now 12:20 am. Not looking like it's going to be the best day tomorrow for exercise for two reasons. 1) I'm going to be massively tired and I know I won't be able to get a nap in because our street construction is literally in front of our house now. Made going to and coming home from the animal hospital rather interesting this afternoon. 2) The weather is supposed to be crazy hot again. Ugh.

Anyways, I really need to end this post here. I am dying from exhaustion and I still need to do my teeth and the cat boxes before going to bed after I post this.

I hope everyone had a wonderful day! :)

Day 70 of 125

No stretching, lots of napping and relaxing instead. Woke up feeling sick and with a headache. Not the best way to start the day and it only got worse from there. Thank goodness today was an OFF day for Insanity because my body would not have been able to handle doing anything. However, tomorrow is a new day, so onwards and upwards.

I hope you had a great day and had a wonderful weekend. :)
