On the Move

Thanks for all your suggestions for modified workouts! I was able to get a great work out in yesterday! I had a lot of  fun doing it too! I was able to get the things done I needed to and also get in a good workout! I actually sore today from it! OH YA!

 Ya know what I wrote yesterday about Dave? Well, I wanted to do something special for him but had no time , so before I left work, I wrote a really short poem and then stopped by the gas station and bought him a Coke Cherry Zero and his favorite treat. :) It made me happy to be able to do something/anything a little special for him, even if the poem was REALLY CHEEZY!

Note To Dave

ON THE MOVE WORKOUT

-Walking Lunges
(anytime I want to get from one side of the house to the other, I did lunges to get there) I had to modify the lunge when my hurt foot was in the back, so each lunge was done a lot slower than usual, I think this added extra burn!

Lunges

-One legged Push Ups
(I dropped and did 20 1 legged push ups 3x..1 legged because of my foot)

Push Ups

-Shoulder Raises
(I had to lift a few boxes and in the process I did 3 sets of 15 shoulder raises (box down and box up)

Shoulder Raise

-Abs
(I did 3 sets of 45 sit ups) Dave was done taking pictures of me by this point, so I don't have any of me doing abs..but I'm sure you can imagine!

What a great/fun way to get in a workout. I felt so great afterwards. I was glad I did something active, my mind needed it! I got my heart rate up quite a bit when doing the lunges and push ups. The exercises I chose did not hurt my foot and were fun to do! Since we have so many things going on this week, workouts like this that I can incorporate into the projects we need to get done are PERFECT!! 

I did most of my workout while dave was putting together this baby:

I'm such a nerd and TOTALLY forgot to take an after picture. Dangit! I'll take one another day!! Oops!!

After my workout I went through the house and prepped it for movers! Since we just got the carpets cleaned we wanted to try and keep them that way (clean)!

After we finished at the house, we went home, ate dinner, got in our jammies, cuddled and watched TV. I waited all day just for that!  Today we have more work to do. We have to clean out our storage shed! BLAH!  But I'm gonna put on my happy face and chug through…there is an end in mind!! :)  We might find out today if we are moving this weekend or not!  MY FINGERS ARE STILL CROSSED FROM LAST WEEK!!
