Wake-up at 4:30 am???
Last night I went to Barnes & Nobles to get a gift for my hubby's nephew, its his bday today and the fam is getting together. While I was there I checked out their music section for some Chakra Meditation cd's. Found one out of all of their meditation section. I have been having a hard time sleeping and some of the chakra stuff I have listened to I have found so soothing. I didn't open my chakras, just listened to it (no speaking just music). Sure enough I slept well last night. As a result I woke up feeling very energized....at 4:30 am!!! WTF??? Usually I am up around 6:30, the earliest I have gotten up is 5 am on occasion. So I found it nice really to have some quiet time. I ended up doing two loads of laundry, emptied and filled our dishwasher (couldn't run it again tho cause not enough dishes in it), I woke everyone up, made lunches for 3 kids AND I did a 30 min workout with Gilad on FitTv. Btw, Gilad is tough. Yes, i am very out of shape....lol I was REALLY huffing and puffing about halfway through. I tried to keep up with his pace but I ended up slowing it down a bit, lest I kill myself. Really my biggest issue was my knees. Both of them were screaming during the lunges. I couldn't even do the lunge as low as they could. Oh well, I will just have to practice....with braces I think. I have to say I like FitTv. I only have bellydance and pilates dvd's and after awhile I get bored with those. At least with FitTv I can find a variety of different things to do and not feel bored.
Well I must go, I plan on tackling my food issues next week and at the rate I am going I don't think it will be an issue. One week of exercise and I am feeling good....good enough to want to make a difference!
