Workout Journal for Wednesday, October 29, 2008

Tonight I did Cathe's Low Impact Step on a 6" step for the first half, and 4" step for the second half (45 min. workout). I know this is supposed to be one of Cathe's more easier workouts, and I guess the choreography could be considered a little more basic...but it ain't easy! I always get a good sweat going with this workout.

I'm excited that I'm starting to get back in my workout habit. With it getting darker earlier, I'm not so tempted to be outside. And since it's a little cooler, my workout room isn't quite so stuffy.

Tonight I did Cathe's Low Max (Premix - Intervals 1 - 4) - 45 min. on 4" step. I could probably do a 6" step, but I still get a great workout on 4".

Workout for Wednesday, August 13, 2008

I don't know what is going on with me, but I have soooo much energy today. I had three meetings in one of our satellite offices, and they all were extremely positive. I came home and did a some more office work until 4:30, then I started cleaning the house.

I scrubbed toilets, washed bathroom rugs, mopped the master bathroom and scoured the sink, washed/changed the sheets, vacuumed the downstairs, cleaned furniture (cat hair central), weeded our landscaping beds, and got rid of our outside cobwebs. On top of that, I made a good supper for DH and me, balanced the checkbook, and had a great workout.

I did talk to my mom while I was making supper, and she said my dad has been doing really pretty well for the last couple of days, so that is a huge relief to me.

It's now 9:30, and I feel like I'll be able to sleep good tonight.

I know I have a rough day ahead of me, but that's okay. I have a meeting at lunch time to plan a termination (which will take place late tomorrow afternoon), and I also have a separate disciplinary meeting with another person regarding their (lack of) performance. Worst, I have to confront another person about the fact that they are having a less-than-platonic relationship with their supervisor (the supervisor has already been confronted and conveniently denies it). Then, the termination of the first person takes place. Ugh. But that's all in a day's work, I guess.

WORKOUT FOR TODAY: The FIRM Better Buns and Body (Tri-Trainer) - 45 min.
