Step by step

muck_a_luckThis has certainly been a one-step-at-a-time type of morning.
5:00am: Alarm goes off, I groan and roll over. Husband comes in and turns on the light. Shaves. Moves about doing various getting-ready-for-work type things. I actually roll back over and reset the alarm for 6:30. I showered before bed last night. I feel like death warmed over. Going back to sleep.
5:22am Need to pee. Get up. Figure it is not worth going back to bed. Zombie into my workout clothes. See Husband off.
So, OK. Will do Abs of Steel 2. A situp tape, basically, with, God help me, about 20 pushups. But, only one half hour long. So not as bad as the step routine. OK. Can do that.
Do Abs of Steel 2, routine one. Groan. OK. So, not ready to do both routines in one day. But, dieting part of me whines, that's only 15 minutes of exercise today. Not enough calories! OK. Fine.
I put in the power yoga tape I picked up at the library last night. OK. Starts off OK. But after the warm up section, I'm thinking, forget this. Already did the Abs of Steel. But the warm up moves into some yoga stuff that I knew from my baby yoga tape, so I'm like, OK. Then she gets to lunges. God help me, I cannot finish the first lunge. OK. Done for the day. But then, the devil on my shoulder says, come on, you can get back in, so really missing only about 6 beats, I get back in for the next lunge. I finished the whole dang tape.
And now, shockingly, after a serious ab toning routine, followed by my first try at power yoga. Um. Feeling a bit like I have been run over by a truck. And remembering that when I did my step routine followed by the baby yoga tape, I had the same feeling.

uisgich suspicious slitty-eyed glare* Have you tricked me into thinking it would be fun to do an exercise routine that makes me feel like I have been hit by a truck?! Stupid peer pressure! Next will be eating quorn.
The tape from the library was excellent, though. Thinking step tomorrow to give myself a break. Then the OTHER ab routine and yoga tape on Thursday. Oh. And must never take a Friday off again. Because I don't have time to do anything on the weekend, so that makes three days in a row without exercising. That could be the end of CK's discipline...
