MHB- Week Nineteen- Compromise

 This week I've come to the conclusion that I can't handle doing five days a week of working out. I may cut back on the cardio work outs and just see how that goes for a little bit. It feels a lot like when you first start out, you don't want to overdo it and discourage yourself. Well I'm feeling dangerously close to wanting to stop and I know I can't do that. So, I'm going to compromise with myself and do three days a week. That way, I won't be setting myself up to feel guilty when I don't end up doing five days of working out. I think its a good solution and I believe that it will help me out.

MONDAY-

 Day 1- Strength and Endurance. I wanted to take some pictures of my progress. My stomach muscles are tightening and my biceps have a nice tone to them. I'm at a place where I'd like to maintain my fitness. I'm not in a position to challenge myself right now because of life in general. I didn't want to bite off more than I could chew, but I think I may have. As long as I don't quit altogether, then I should be okay!

TUESDAY-

Alina playing with her toys and then a picture of her right outside of her daycare.

 Day 2- Rest day! Alina is doing a lot better at daycare. The lady that watches her took some of Rob's advice and it worked like a hot damn. Tuesday was her second good day in a row. Hurray Alina!

WEDNESDAY- 

Day 3- Fight Conditioning. This workout kicked my butt up and down the living room, the entire time. I'm not sure what's happening to me. I'm either losing my drive or I'm just busier than I used to be and my body is not used to all of this action. It was a Baba Day and Alina was quite happy to see her face when she woke up. Baba came with clothes, 'sticky' socks (so she won't slip when she's cruising around) and I had a farm with farm figurines set up for her when she woke. I got the farm from a work friend and Alina was pretty pumped to be greeted with it in the morning!

THURSDAY-

Day 4- Rest Day! Again, I really appreciated being able to sleep an extra little bit. Alina was a happy little squirrel this morning. It's always when I put her in her car seat, or when we arrive at the daycare that she gets this look on her face that something smells bad. She's uneasy going in, but once she's there; she's a happy camper. She's been doing really well and I couldn't be happier! That's a picture of me walking to work and I ended up having to walk home at lunch to put some chicken I left out in the fridge and then I walked back. SO! I walked to work, walked home, walked back to work and once my eight hours on my feet, running around was all done; I walked home again. So.. basically cardio...

FRIDAY- 

Day 5- Abdominal Strength and Core Conditioning. It feels like it's been awhile, since I did this workout. It went well. I felt like I had a bit more energy than I did on Wednesday. I've been getting up earlier and Rob has been sleeping in a bit later, so he hasn't been able to take my workout pictures. Sorry for the terrible quality of the photos! The last picture I just took of Alina, drinking her morning milk. She has some pretty sweet bed head..!
