Hump Day

By Kim, March 17, 2010 6:42 pm

It is only Wednesday!!! Ugh, can you believe it? It totally feels like it should be Friday. I hate it when weeks drag on and on.  I wish it were Friday already.  At least I made it through the day.

The weather has been so nice here.  It said it was 70 degrees today! I love it when Spring is on the horizon.  Although in Reno, it can be sunny and beautiful one day and the next day snowing, so I refuse to get to excited about all the nice weather.  I just wish I was off of work to be outside and enjoy it.

When I got home from work, I took Moose for a walk.  We have walked every day this week and he loves it.  All I have to say is the word “walk” and gets so excited and jumps all around.  He follows me around as I get ready and waits at the front door until it is time to go.  I know he loves Spring just as much as I do because he gets so many more walks.

After our walk I did my 30-day shred.  I finally moved up to Level 2 and it is like 3 times as hard as Level 1.  I feel like the workout is much more effective.  I can tell my body is working harder.  Maybe I should have tried Level 2 sooner than I did, but oh well.  At least I have started with it.  I sort of lost track of what day I am on, but I think it is somewhere around 12 or 13.  So I am close to being half-way through the 30-day shred program. Go me!  I am so proud of myself for sticking with it.  I can already tell I feel a little stronger than when I first started.  At least my motivation has not flown out the door.

I hope the next couple of days go by super fast and this week-end drags on. But I know that will not happen.  Week-ends always go by super fast. I just have to tell myself, two more days!

Day Eight

By Kim, March 10, 2010 2:20 pm

Look what we woke up to this morning!

Snow! Not a ton of snow, but enough for Reno drivers to freak out.  We get a light dusting of snow and this morning they reported 25 different car accidents during the morning commute.  The drivers in Reno are seriously some of the worst I have ever encountered anywhere.  On top of the freak out during snow, they also love to drive 50 in the fast lane.  It is seriously bad.  But enough about the bad drivers and snow.   The sun is out now and the snow is all melted.  It is actually turning into a pretty nice day.

I woke up and did day eight of my 30 day shred.  I felt very tired again this morning but afterwards I had a ton of energy and so far it is still lasting.  I am glad I got up and worked out!

Day Seven

By Kim, March 9, 2010 8:26 pm

When my alarm went off this morning, I almost did not make it.  I felt so tired.  I was laying there thinking, there is no way I can do this today.  But somehow I got up and I did my workout.  I am so glad I did because I had a long day today and I did not want to workout tonight after work.

I find it harder to exercise after work than first thing in the morning.  I do not know why, but my motivation seems to be gone after working all day long.  Motivation is something I have talked about before, but sometimes it is very hard to keep going.

Hopefully tomorrow will be easier to get up!

Day Six

By Kim, March 8, 2010 9:13 pm

I woke up early this morning to do day six of the 30 day shred and when I got out of bed my whole body was so stiff.  I guess skiing yesterday made my body pretty sore today.  I have been sore all day long! I was hoping it would die down a little today as the day went on, but I guess sitting at a desk all day doesn’t help loosen out your muscles!

I can’t believe it is only Monday! Today was so slow.  It felt like I was at work forever.  I wish it were Friday! Only 4 more days till Friday, right?!?! I think I have a case of the Mondays.  I hope tomorrow goes by faster than today did.

Day Five

By Kim, March 5, 2010 6:31 pm

I successfully completed 5 days in a row of 30-day shred! I am so pumped! I am taking the week-end off because we are going skiing tomorrow! I am excited about going because the last time I went, I didn’t have the best day. I felt like I was off all day. So tomorrow I am going to just go and relax. My husband, the super pro skier, says I look super stiff. So maybe tomorrow I will have a better day. I am hopeful!

I’m keeping this short because it’s Friday and I off to enjoy some wine! Happy Friday!

Day Two

By Kim, March 2, 2010 10:20 pm

So day today is day two of my 30-day shred.  It was soooo much harder to wake up early and work out today than it was yesterday.  When my alarm went off, I almost hit snooze so I could stay in my warm bed.  But I made myself get up because how can I start slacking on my 2nd day!?!?

Which makes me wonder about motivation.  How hard is it to get yourself motivated to work out?  I know that for myself, I can go strong for a week or so, but then loose my drive.  I need ideas to keep myself going! I am hoping that by blogging about my day to day work outs, that I will hold myself accountable and keep going.  I told my husband I was going to blog everyday this month. We will see if that works out!

Tonight when we got home from work, me and my husband took our dog, Moose, for a walk.  I love when daylight savings happens. More time in the evening makes me much more productive.  The walk was a little chilly. I think we might be getting some more snow!

Here are my boys on our walk.
