Very, very, very sluggish today. Haven't slept well for 3 days from jet lag. Only 2-4 hours a night. Made up for it last night with a 12+ hour stint. However as a result I feel very slow and weak. Was about to leave all exercise until this afternoon but decided to watch Patrick's videos. And read his e-mail. That was enough to send me outside to skip. But was so sluggish that for the first time forgot to stretch before I skipped. Resulted in pain in my calf, but I finished. Skipping not that good. Lots of trips. Put it down to general lead-like feeling of all body parts.
Was thinking before the skipping that maybe it was better to go straight through and also do the exercises. However since I woke up at 11.20am, diddled while I read e-mails, watched videos, and then finally skipped, I was really, really hungry. So just had my breakfast, and having a cup of coffee in the vain hope that will wake me up a bit and will then do the rest.
Shoulders are in pain, so a massage later today if I can get my act together.
Flying to Bali tomorrow morning with the kids, leaving my better half behind. May not be able to blog as I run around like a lunatic trying to get to the airport as my main commitment will be to get up super early to get the skipping and exercises done. I know myself well enough since starting PCP to know that I will NOT be exercising when I get to my destination.
Onwards and upwards and keep the groove.
The lead feeling is probably caused from the leg exercises yesterday. They were quite brutal. Combined with all of your jetlag and indulgence it is a recipe for sluggish-ness. Good on you for pushing through.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful holiday Conny.
Take lots of photos for me.
Managed to get the massage. Also booked through the exercises (except the plank which still makes me cry) because I watched Soul Surfer this afternoon which just galvanised me into action. Great film if you have a chance to see it.
