Day 45 – Shoulders, Chest, & Triceps/ARX

After staying up later than I should have I was pleasantly surprised at how good 4:30 felt. It really helped that my daughter slept through the night. This is only the second time that has happened, though I suspect that often times I’m the one who wakes her. Co-sleeping definitely intertwines our sleeping patterns. Anyhow, I was amazingly refreshed after 6 solid hours of sleep.

Today I was finally smart enough to figure out a way to have both my hands on my thick squishy mat for push-ups (which I’m still primarily doing on my knees). I got a thin pillow to place me knees on. You think I would have thought of that sooner! The only slight problem with my plan is that the pillow slid on the floor somewhat, so my core section got more of a workout than usual; which probably isn’t a bad thing.

Today had some moves where I was able to surpass my past performance and my goals for the day. It also had moves where I was surprised at how hard it was to crank out what I did last time. Perhaps the ones where I pushed myself made others harder too. It was definitely a day where I was glad for my sheet telling me how I’d done in the past.

Yay for a good workout, a yummy Shakeology breakfast, and a beautiful fall morning.
