Am totally whacked by jet lag. I hate travelling to Europe every year for this very reason. I try to avoid giving in to it, but it never works. Daughter #1 slept 14 hours, and daughter #2 close to that. No wonder I fell asleep again after I had breakfast, read some blogs and did some stuff. I think we must all have needed it. None of it was sleeping pill aided either. Usually we are all awake at 4am. Weird.
It was hard to jump up out of bed for the second time today to face skipping. But I put together a funky playlist, factoring in mainly time of song and whether I really, really liked it. Some of you are going to laugh, but it really is a revelation and makes the skipping much easier. Also my pace is up and my rhythm has improved. 3rd set a little less fluid as I was already exhausted by then. Until now I have relied on scenery.
Workout still to be done later this afternoon after a visit to the orthodontist and a major veggie shop. Took a peek and saw that there was no leg work today. Don't think that is going to make it any easier!
I couldn't agree more with the music & skipping. I tried to do it without and it didn't work.
ReplyDeleteWish my kids would sleep more - No.1 son up at 5.30 today swiftly followed at 6 by No.2.
I am totally with you on the song choice for skipping performance. I had a great session yesterday with some old school Violent Fems. But today I was in the mood for super cheesy handbag pop music. Other times it is dark and broody drum and bass that gets me going.
ReplyDeleteJust gotta do what feels right at the time.
Jetlag sucks. You just gotta get through it as best you can.
Anything to take away the clock watching/counting on skipping works for me! Oh jet lag- tough but good for you for still doing everything.
ReplyDeleteYes lots of upper body today!!
I have been rocking the cheesiest, gayest anthems I can find to get me through all these work-outs. We each have our own personal winning formula.
