I woke up a bit late today, but it was up and at it to get my exercises done. I started with my stretches, but then I moved on to 18 pushups. I did them in groups of 6 and that helped. My shoulder does seem to be adjusting well as long as I split …

Day Thirteen: Mixing it Up
Alright, I got up even earlier than my alarm today, but then did not move from my bed for a bit. My shoulder was feeling it this morning, so before I even looked at my phone to see the exercises, I sprayed it with something called 'Muscle Mist' which is the best thing ever. You …
Day Twelve: Stress
Today is a rest day for squats and crunches. So I did my 15 pushups in groups of 5 because my shoulder is a little tender. I decided, based on how it was feeling, to wait before attempting the plank. For breakfast, I had three eggs. Yummy. Then it was back to work for another …
Day Eleven: Exercise
I slept in on purpose today because I know that I have a dentist appointment and didn't want to leave my bed. But eventually, I got up and did my 15 pushups. I find it helps to take a short break (read 10 seconds or less) between each set of 5. It takes a bit …
Day Ten: Fast Food
Late night again equals late start in the morning. I don't work tomorrow, but I do plan to be in bed early tonight because I have a dentist appointment at 8 AM. However, when I did eventually convince myself to leave my warm bed and the cuddles of one adorable kitten, I got right to …
Day Nine: On the Road
Alright, so I had a late night last night, so I was up late this morning. But once I was up, I got right to my exercises. Today I started with 10 pushups which were a little hard on the shoulder, but it is still doing what it is supposed to do without too much …
Day Eight: Recap
Alright, so first up about my first week. I hate being sick , especially runny nose sick, because I'm trying to be healthy. I hope it passes soon. I'm starting to get used to this time management thing. It still isn't where I would like it to be, but it will get there. I did …
Day Seven: Week One Completed
At the end of today, I will have completed week one! And I am still going strong. But today is going to be a short blog post. That is my reward for successfully going a week. And according to my e-mail today, I'm supposed to treat myself at the end of my first week if …
Day Six: Sleep
It is only fitting that today's topic is sleep, considering I didn't get as much as I would have liked last night and I won't get as much as I would have liked tonight either. But more on that later. I woke up and got out of bed on time today. So that was good. …
Day Five: Socializing
I went to bed by 10:00 PM last night with the hopes that getting up at 6:00 AM would be a bit easier. Well I woke up at 6:00 AM, but then nodded off again until 6:30 AM. Thank goodness for back-up alarms. First exercise today is 7 pushups. They do not seem to be …
