Level 1 / Day 7

Woke up to over a foot of snow, and it continued throughout the day.

Needless to say I am snowed in! My phone began ringing at 7am, yes on my day to sleep in; I cannot win. It was my dad to ask me about the snow; because obviously that cannot wait until a reasonable hour?!

I just relaxed in bed for a few hours this morning I was not in a hurry to do anything considering I would be stuck inside all morning. I made some cream of wheat topped with warm peaches and strawberries for breakfast. SO good! :) Cuddled with my babies Chaos and Tuxedo, ate breakfast in bed, talked to Kiel for a few, called my Dad and Kiel’s mom to chat for a bit, since I have been meaning to call them both all week but my schedule is so chaotic I just didn’t have time throughout the week.

It seems like I wake up and go to work and it is dark out, work, get out of work it is dark, do errands or go to school, talk to Kiel for an hour; go to bed. I feel as though I am stuck in this suspended state of existence. My “real life” is when I go to visit Kiel, and I am happy and where I want to be.

I cleaned my apartment; I feel so much better.

Late afternoon, I did my Day 7, Level 1 and Trouble Zones.
Shred went really well today, I feel better every day about the work out, my arms are getting stronger, my whole body feels better. I am actually anticipating Level. ALMOST THERE. :)

I am not even half way there and I am starting to see some definition in all of my muscles. I am excited to go see my husband on the 10th, which will be day 11 of Shred. I wonder if he will notice, sometimes it is hard to tell when your own body is changing because you see it every day. On day 10, I will also take pictures and tape myself again.

After I did the 20 minute Shred I was pretty tired, and felt as though I had a good workout. I convinced myself to do the other DVD since I am snowed in and will be lazy today and tomorrow. So I wont be as active as my normal everyday life; at least I worked out 3x as hard today.

She is a MONSTER with the arms; in Trouble Zones I really need 3 pound weights to do the whole 40 minutes. (this is an ongoing argument I am having with myself; subconsciously I am trying to convince myself it will get better, haha) I make it through the whole DVD I just have to take a couple seconds here and there to rest my arms but I don’t ever completely stop the workout. She mentions “…your arms are the only part of your body that even strangers see naked, so you should take care of them..” which is completely true. It just hurts a lot haha!

I took a shower it was wonderful I didnt feel like getting out, especially in this cold weather! I got myself together, my arms were sore holding up my blow dryer to do my hair, haha!

I ate some crackers cheddar cheese/cream cheese for lunch. I cuddled up on my couch and watched some tv, I think I fell asleep for about an hour, until Kiel called. I talked to him for a bit until I cooked dinner.
I ate a small steak, small salad, and some red beats for dinner.

After dinner I went out and cleared the mound of snow off my car, so I wasn't chiseling out an ice cube tomorrow. That felt like another workout. Haha

I am just relaxing right now, not sure what I want to do, I am pretty bored. I think this is all for my blog today. :)
