Day #36

I'm baaaack.

Ok, sorry I disappeared again. I ran into some troubles at home that disrupted my workout schedule. That sounds a little weird, but it wasn't weird at all. But it's a long story and not worth telling. Long story short is that everything is fine, and now my regular routine has resumed. Anyway, while I wasn't doing Jillian Michael's Body Revolution, I was taking the dog for about 4 20 minute walks a day, so that's gotta count for something.

But, it is no replacement. Today I picked back up where I left off with day #36, which marks the start of week 2 of phase 2.

I hurt. My muscles didn't like such a long break. Got through it okay, but there were definitely things I could do much better a month ago.

I leave for London 3 weeks from tomorrow (yep, going back), so that will give me just enough time to wrap up phase 2 before I have to take another 2 week break. That's going to be rough, I can just tell now. There's no way phase 3 is going to be easy, and even worse right after a vacation.

In other non-BR news, I signed up to do a 5k with a bunch of my friends (called the color run, google it and see if there's one in a city near you). It sounds like a total blast and I'm excited that I'll finally run my first 5k. However, I also don't want to totally suck at it, so it's time to start working some running back into my workouts. It's not until the end of July though, so I've got about 3 months to prep for it.

How's everyone doing?

And....I thought I posted this last night. But I just found it. Oops.

Checking in!

So sorry for my sudden disappearance!! It was planned, and I meant to tell you all, but things got chaotic and blogging end up last on my list of priorities.

Getting caught up....I finished week 1 of phase 2 (i.e. week #5) and then I jet-setted off to London to have an extended long holiday weekend visiting my sister and some college friends.

I just got home a little while ago, mildly exhausted and a little thrown off from my usual "Sunday week start"....that seemed to be a good routine for me, so I'm debating waiting until this weekend to kick off week #6/Day #36. If I end up doing that I'll probably just try to do cardio every day in the meantime. And maybe some push-ups/planks.

Eating was slightly off from being away, so I definitely need to get back into a healthier routine with that. But hey, that's allowed on vacation (in my opinion), as long as it doesn't carry over into the return.
