Another One of Those Days

One of those days, my husband is travelling, we have a wet basement from all the rain, Ava ate too much spicy sausage and barfed it up- so it continues.  I am tired, so what am I going to do about it.  I make a short list of my priorities and implement.  1. take care of kids  2. get to work  3. my own health and workout.

Yes, it is sad to admit but my own workout and essentially health comes last (but not least) on my little list.  The main thing is I don’t leave this out and allow other chores to take away from my health and well being.  I do have to modify my workouts, maybe skip one  and shorten them even more at times like this, but I keep this priority fresh in my mind.  For the short term my modifications are adequate and I can live with that.  Read my modified, but not forgotten workouts for when I am tired and busy- even more than usual.

My workout yesterday- warmup, 1 set front squat and push press, superset 3 pullups with cook hips lifts, 3 pullups with rear foot elevated split squat, 3 pullups with 1 legged bench glut bridges, 2 pullups- and exhaustion  Last drill- 15 front chops with 5 burpies repeat 2x- stretch.  I still went to exhaustion and for every super intense exercise I balanced with a post rehab exercise just in case my tiredness was affecting my form.

My workout today- warmup using some new body weight exercises, planks taps, side planks, hip flexor PNF exercises, side plank crunch, side lying leg lifts in internal rotation, ball rollouts, prone jacknife, deadbug, and then 2 lifts- deadlifts and bent over rows.  Stretch.  Again my focus was core and post rehab with 2 lifts that I tried my hardest on.  I am tired from this workout and I spent about 15 solid minutes on this.

As for my diet, I definitelyhave my morning coffee (cappuccino treat- and less acidic than a regular cup of brew), drink plenty of water and carry my favourite snacks- this week yellow apples and cashew nuts- easy and no prep.

Ava counted to 10 this week, I did not even think she could talk.  What a game of Hungry Hippo brings out.  Kasia told me her heart was buzzing as we were listening to a beautiful song in the car, I asked if it was because of the music.  She said no, your car is just rumbly- I guess it’s time for a tune up.
