Yep. I didn't get up until about 5AM this morning and then I ended up falling asleep during my reading this morning. Guess I needed that extra 'doze'. Still didn't want to wake up but wanted to finish what I was doing, and of course, write in here. Not that I have much to say today. Or any day.
I enjoyed a long phone call with my oldest son yesterday. It was an unexpected call, and it was at a time that I wasn't involved in meetings or schedulings, so I was free to chat with him. He can be so funny at times, and I enjoy my chats with him. Thanks for calling, son.
Morgan really worked me out last night. I got to 'flip the tire' again, and I wasn't expecting that. My 'mood' wasn't in a 'let's go for it' type mood when I arrived. Inside of me I felt weary and tired. I knew I was to do a leg workout, but I wasn't expecting what she had me do. We did squats with a 45 pound weight, then walk carrying two 25 pound weights, then lunches carrying a 40 pound bar on my shoulders, then flipping the tired six times one way, and then six times back, but before going back, doing 25 'body squats' - and then start over. Yeah, I wasn't mentally prepared for all that, but I did it. My shoulders are a bit sore this morning. Tomorrow it is core work so I know what will be sore on Thursday! But I love every single minute of it! I really do. I've been watching some of these reels/posts on Facebook - one is by a James Lay. His core is so strong! But he does moves to music, and now several women have started (and a few men) posting photos of them doing the same thing. I find it fascinating. I told Morgan about it (she said she and a friend did that years ago!) and how I'd love to be able to do that. My core may get that strong, eventually, but I don't think I have the strength in the rest of my body to put it in that position and hold it for 3 minutes while a song plays and I move it to the beats. In my younger days, I bet I could. But it makes me want to get down on the floor and try it. In private, of course.
Since I got up late this morning my time is 'running away' from me. Ooh. I just got up to sign in on the work computer since it is almost 7AM, and I discovered that there are other body parts that are going 'be careful'! Kind of sore other places too. But it's a good sore.
I have not been following my Virta plan at all the past few weeks. I probably should get refocused on it. My weight seems to go up a pound or two, then down a pound or two. I know muscle weighs more than fat so that is my excuse! But I probably should lay off the chocolate I've been sneaking at night, and sometimes throughout the day. Not my fault. Hubby filled my Christmas stocking with bags of dark chocolate. I hid them when I went on Virta. Then I found them. I'm on the last bag.
And, because I am running late and it's after 7AM, I need to leave this short and move on to my day. Hubby has his workout at 8AM today, I think. He is 'scaring' me at times. Yesterday he sat in his chair - and I'm serious, I think he slept most of the afternoon (I can hear him breathing sometimes, or snoring). He didn't go to the gym with me last night, as he usually does. He is very clingy and seems uncertain about some things, often overreacting. (remember the bill we got and how he reacted?) For example, he wanted to do laundry yesterday and asked me to separate my dirty laundry into piles. I only had two small ones - light and dark. He asked if he could put with his and of course he can. My dark load he has left on the bathroom floor. And I think he has left the other either in the dryer or the washer (I haven't checked) for none was laid out for me to put away. Did he forget what he was doing? Anyway, I will 'assume' he will finish it today. At these times I am not sure what to do - if I step in and do it, he gets offended and angry that I 'took his job away from him'. I did empty the dishwasher the other day but he didn't seem overly upset, and even thanked me for emptying it. Can't remember why I did it.... must have been on Sunday. Oh yeah, I did it when he visited his friend in the rehab center. Wonder if I can get him to visit him again today; it would be good for him to get out of the house and it is 2 miles away.
And with that, I need to get off here and get on the work computer. Hope that you have an amazing day. Perhaps something good will happen today that I can share. Or not.
Blessings!
