Workout Wednesdays: Oct 3 – Oct 9

It was nice to get back into workouts and yoga this week, though I learned that what you get for three weeks away from a “real” yoga class is shitty vinyasas.  Seriously my first hard yoga class was ugly.  I felt like I couldn’t do a legit chaturanga if my life depended on it!  But I started a new challenge and while it’s simple now, it will get much harder further into the month.

Wednesday, October 3

• Noon – Elliptical and Shoulders:  I was pretty sore from two games where I hit a ton the night before, so I did 35 minutes elliptical and some shoulder exercises.  I’m really bad about remembering what I do for upper body workouts – partly because I don’t feel like it’s a real/strong workout because it’s so whimpy because of my elbow still.  But I know it still counts – it’s not like I’m using 5’s – I either use 10’s or 12’s.

Thursday, October 4

• Noon – Nothing: I was sick from being poisoned from a granola bar so I napped on my floor to try to sleep off the benadryl
• 5:30 p.m. – Capital Club Vinyasa Yoga: I sucked at this class but it felt good and I just kept trying.

Friday, October 5

• Nothing:  I was at a Leadership and Public Service Forum so I didn’t take a lunch, instead I had a luncheon with Senator John and Annie Glenn, which was awesome.

Sunday, October 7

• 11:45 p.m. – Sheena J’s Halloween Challenge: It was the first day of Sheena’s Halloween Challenge.  Though this was such a short quick workout on the first day, I couldn’t do it until about 11:45 p.m. because I felt sick all day after poisoning myself with Rice Krispies.  This took me like 20 seconds, so I knew I could knock it out no matter how bad I felt.

Monday, October 8

•  Noon – 30 minute Elliptical and Sheena J’s Halloween Challenge Day 2:  This really wasn’t a “real” enough workout but I still wasn’t feeling well from Sunday’s gluten exposure.  I was flexing out my lunch by 15 minutes so I could take yoga on Tuesdays, so it was also short.  I still need to try to start a new 100 Challenge to do once a week in addition to the Halloween Challenge.  The Halloween Challenge for day two was 10 squats, 8 lunges, 6 situps, 4 pushups, and 2 burpees.  Easy peasy.

Tuesday, October 9

• Noon – None:  We ended up leaving work early.  Lo had been feeling sick since the night before and it wasn’t going away and I was very itchy like I get when I get from gluten exposure.  It’s so weird because we went to Tanuki and Kelley and I ordered the same things but she didn’t have any reaction. So I don’t know why I my skin felt so itchy in the middle of the night and all through today.
• 8:15 p.m. – Dublin Reverse Co-ed Volleyball:  I always get a workout from this league since it’s women-hit.
  
• Sheena J’s Halloween Challenge: 15 squats, 12 lunges, 9 situps, 6 pushups, and 3 burpees.
