Catch up

This weekend I decided that I was going to do a mini challenge until my birthday/our belly dancing recital - Nov 18.  Technically that's when my first challenge is supposed to be over anyway, but I've been slacking off the last couple weeks, and so I decided that starting yesterday I was going to really focus on doing my work outs and eating on target.  Mostly, I want to really push myself again in my work outs.  So I got up yesterday and did a new cardio circuit thing where I walked out to the park and did 50+ jumps with my rope, then ran stairs 5 times and then did 5 sprints.  I did all of this twice, and really liked it.  I'v found I have to change things up for myself to keep myself interested, and plus, its not as hard on any one joint area this way, which is good until I get some better shoes.  


After that I went to work, went grocery shopping, did some phone interviews, went to a scheduling meeting, and practiced belly dancing.  I had planned on doing abs when I got home, but a lovely headache that had been building up for a few hours put me in bed when I walked in the door.  That's the third headache I've had in the last week - what's going on?  Eats were on yesterday but were mostly clif bars and a shake because I was on the go ALL DAY!

After a great full nights sleep I got up early this morning and did lunges.  I will do biceps and back in a bit after I study for awhile.  Tonight I will be belly dancing like crazy because we are practicing after class for a few hours.  The great news is is that we are finished with the choreography and now all we have to do is practice, practice, practice!

Side note: I used to find drinking enough water everyday really, really hard, but I realized last week that I have no trouble with that anymore really, which makes me quite happy!
