Regarding My Monday and Tuesday-Thus-Far....

I know, I know. I'm the one who said we should post daily and then I don't. I'm working on it. :)

My sleeping is still a little messed up but like I said in the previous post, I'm giving myself a pass in that area. I mean, if I get up at a decent hour, great. If not, oh well.

Sunday night I think I finally fell asleep around 1. I noticed even before I slept that I could feel the yoga workout earlier in the day. Just a pleasant soreness in my hips and butt. Monday I woke up in the morning but didn't have much to do so I went back to sleep until like 2. Felt more twinges in the rear but it was a good hurt. The kind that begs for a good stretch.

I can't really remember what I did after I got up but I went to spinning class at little earlier than usual so I'd have time for a good warm-up. The class Monday night was mostly sprints so really cardio-intense. Somewhere in the midst of the frantic pedaling I think I found cycling nirvana--my legs felt like they were moving without any effort and I was totally in the zone. And every time we stood up to ride, I could feel it in my ass thanks to the day before. In all, a fab workout.

After gym, I went to the grocery store. Picked up some items for actual meals and some other things I enjoy that were on sale. By the time I got home at 8...I barely had enough energy to make dinner (grilled turkey burger with cheese, frozen broccoli, fries). I hit the couch after eating and (sort of) cleaning the kitchen. This is when I meant to blog but I stayed on the couch cozy in my layers of clothes and blankets (because after spin class and eating my heart rate plummets and I'm freezing cold) until midway through The Colbert Report. I was asleep by 11:30!

Today I woke up at 6 and had breakfast (low-fat Eggo waffles with Smart Balance spread and light syrup). I was still tired so I went back to sleep. Got up around 10. Took a shower, made a smoothie, loaded the dishwasher and went to yoga at noon. It's a 75 minute class on Tuesdays and I asked the instructor if we could do some hip openers and butt stretches. Oh man did she live up to my request! The whole class was EXACTLY the workout I needed. It felt soooooo gooood. I can't even tell you. And I can tell that I'm improving. I'm getting closer to completing a full bind in some poses and am less afraid of inversions (though I need to practice headstands against the wall). After class I spent a bit in the hot tub/whirlpool (I love my gym's amenities), showered and stopped by Target to get an Rx and some stuff I forgot in my shopping last night.

So. I'm home now obvi. I turned on the jazz, had a sandwich. Should probably really clean up the kitchen. And pre-make the stuffed pork chops I plan to freeze for future eating. Have yet to request my unemployment this week and look for jobs but thanks to President Obeezy, I got my letter informing me that COBRA will now cost me 65% less. Thanks Barry!
