Day 59: Exhausted

Everywhere in my body hurts. I am exhausted. Didn't think the exercises had stepped up that much, but am dragging myself through the day.

Skipping today sucked. Leaden lags. Exhaustion cut number of jumps by 20%. Man oh man oh man is it frustrating to not even be able to do 10 jumps consecutively. And that was good. I stumbled on average every 2 jumps. But I did feel proud of myself that whilst it was all a pile of doodoo I kept on going. Not jumping also makes you sweat.

I would like to think that it was nothing to do with my giving in to temptation and having a millefeuile yesterday. Believe it or not I do not have a sweet tooth, but above chocolate mousse I love millefeuile and you can't get them in Japan the way I love... only Holland (and now Bali!). So for the first time in 3 years of seeing one, I lost all discretion.

This afternoon is another afternoon of exercises. Tomorrow is another day of skipping. Since it is Saturday I think I will dispense with first thing in the morning tomorrow to see if a) that is any better, b) I think I need a break from getting up before everyone else.

  1. It is good to mix it up on the time when you workout. I find that my skipping is worse before I have had any food and just out of bed. It takes me a few hours to wake up. But then it is good to have them done and dusted.

    My skips have been so awful again that I was even tripping before I started.

    I don't think I have ever had a millefeuile good or bad so I couldn't tell the difference. My weakness is anything with custard or creme brulee.

  2. Conny- don't beat yourself up about the skipping! You are doing so well and your new photos look fab! My skipping varies widly from day to day too- mostly have a real mental block about doing it too and I find it very very boring and dull. And we're 2/3rds through- just another 30 days- imagine how you're going to look and feel when you've done another 30 days of this!!
