Grr, I had to take my second, and last, pause day for my exercise challenge yesterday. So that is still at day 8. I'm not upset (so much) at not exercising, i did, after all, just work two 20-hours days in a row. Somehow sleeping for three hours each night seemed much more important than working out
. I am pretty sure the challenge is still doable though. I can do 13 days in a row of exercise, particularly as I vary what i am doing. I just need to not have anymore uber-crazy days at work!
What I'm upset about is that now my exercise and calories challenges are not on the same day
I had 1224 calories yesterday (my midnight omelet pushing me into a reasonable calorie range! And as I was still up, because I finally finished working, I am counting that in yesterday's calories, not today's). So day 9 is done for the calorie challenge.
Tia - I think the idea of your challenge being just "WATP" rather than specifically the 1- mile or the 2-mile tape is a good idea. That way you have some flexibility, without having to start over if you can fit in only 1 mile somedays.
Jolly - sleep is good - as noted above, I miss it
I'm back in NYC though, so it's easier to tell my DC people that I am busy here and can't work on anything else. What sort of riding lessons do you take? Are you another horse-gal like Red? Or bicycle? (I, unfortunately, can ride neither a horse nor a bike
)
JCT - I feel ya on the Day 1, again, blues. But, we are bettering ourselves every day, even the days we start over. And it is SO nice when we finally get to day 21!
Yorkie - I tried belly dancing a few times! It seemed pretty cool, but I agree that what the dvd people do and what "we" do, are not always the same thing
. But if you like it, keep at it! When I started doing yoga I was so depressed because i felt as if I would *never* get it. Now, a lot of the poses are still hard, and i definitely cannot go as deep on many as the instructor does, but I can feel in my body that I am so much better and stronger than when i started.
Hello to everyone else! I never was able to catch up with the weekend posts
. Now this week is practically over. Oy vey, life is hectic. Talk to you all later!
