Day Five

I am feeling GOOD!!! I never thought that I would be excited for exercising or working out, but I am. It's so much fun. Today was a running day, and it was tiring, but energizing. I really love working out in the morning. It gets me going for the day. After running, or weights, I eat breakfast and then go do the dishes. I have found that I LOVE routines. I kind of already knew that I did better when I have a routine, but I am LOVING it. So, after dishes and sweeping the kitchen, I paid some bills and talked to a friend. With her encouragement, I went and did my 30 day shred exercise. I have done the work out enough that today I turned down the volume of Jillian Michael's talking and turned on some work out music. It was so much fun. I felt like I was playing and dancing, not working out. It was awesome. The 30 day shred dvd has 3 different workouts, each progressively a little harder. I am seriously considering going to level 2. I have NEVER moved up in a work out before, so that is exciting! Well after the 30 day shred (forever more to be abbreviated to TDS) I came back to the computer to blog the days experience. When I made this goal, I knew that there would come a day when I would love doing the workout. I never, even in my wildesxt dreams, thought it would come on day 5. Honestly, I thought it would take doing the TDS several times before I would love it. But boy do I love it.
These last few days have been hard on Rob. He hasn't been sleeping well, and so that makes him really tired in the morning. Yesterday, a weight training day, we woke up at 5:30, our weight training time, and he really didn't want to get up. He wasn't able to get to sleep until around 1 a.m., so that was 4 hours of rest for him. I don't know if the alarm would have even woken me up with that little sleep. Well, we laid in bed for a few minutes with him asking me what to do. I told him that it was up to him. I could tell that he was completely torn and unsure. In the past, he has been my anchor for exercising, especially weight training. So I turned to him and told him to not worry about me. I will work out no matter what he decided. He looked at me and said, "Then I am going to get some more sleep"  I love my husband.
Yesterday I did weight training on my own, and I think I did pretty good. I missed Rob, but he will work out with me tomorrow (cross your fingers he sleeps better) He slept well last night, so I think that we are on the way up.
I think that is everything for today. Thanx for all your encouragement!!!
