Walking in Sunshine and Day 7

Yesterday I more than made up for the "Cardio Day" that I skipped on Saturday. I walked in all over 3 hrs and around 9 miles. My little charge fell asleep on the way to the playground, so I decided to go for a walk as it was a beautiful day. So an hour or so later I was done for. I then ended up walking 4 more miles in the afternoon (2 miles then 2 miles later). I was exhausted to say the least. I put myself to bed at 10. I still hadn't recovered from my 4 nights, in a row(!), of a messed up sleep. I put myself to bed around 10 Sunday night as well. I'm slowly getting there. I plan to go to bed as soon as I type this up, so you better believe I'm gonna make it quick.

Because of my walkathon yesterday I felt okay skipping my circuit for the day. That and I got home at quarter to 9, I needed to have dinner and that was about all I had energy for. Today I jumped back into! It felt good too! I missed it. I'm digging being able to do it while watching t.v. I extra have no excuse. However I don't reccommend trying to do the circuits in a timely manner while watching anything to do with the Deaf. I was stoked that the repeat of Cold Case that focused on a Deaf teen was replaying. Then there was the whole thing of having to stop or crane my neck and get all distracted when they were signing. Oh well, haha.

One last thought: You know when you do something long enough you become used to it. How long is long enough for exercise?! Sheesh! Jillian does love her jumping jacks! I feel like she sneaks enough in that I should be able to hang in like a champ even when I end up doing 6 min. in a circuit (3 2 min reps). I'll go ahead and say it is more to do w/ the other reps of exercising I'm doing... yea. That's it. No it's not. I'm still kinda wussy. *sigh* If I had to just do 6 min. of jumping jacks w/ no other exercises I'd still be hurtin' 1/2 way through... 1/3 of the way through!

Okay I'm outtie. Hooray for bedtime! (Oh yea, still drinking water like crazy. Even though I drink all morning, still pretty starving by lunch! My poor tummy and all the over feeding I've done to it.)
