PHH Arms

I really, really didn't feel like doing a workout today. But I also knew that I needed to do one. I hadn't had any resistance work in quite a while- so I knew I needed to get something like that in. But I really had NO idea what I was in the mood for, as I wasn't really in the mood to work out AT ALL anyway. Ugh on that feeling.

But I made myself get up and do a workout anyway. Partially because I guilted myself into it, knowing that I might be going to eat out again later today- and eating some junky stuff, too. So I'd better get SOMETHING in, even if it might not cancel out the calories... it would be better than doing NOTHING.

So anyway, I picked something that wasn't "too easy" like Turbo Sculpt. Not that it's all that easy- but I just find myself going very light-weight when I do that one, just so I can swing my arms around better. So I end up not really pushing my muscles themselves all that much, but I feel more like I'm just pushing my joints. Which I'm not sure- is the right thing to do. And... at the same time, I didn't want to pick something that would last an hour (like a P90X) even though that type of workout was what I felt I needed. I just knew I didn't have it mentally to stick with it for a whole hour.

So Power Half Hour Arm Toner it was. Just 30 minutes... but it's good and tough (if I push myself with heavy weights). Ugh, I'd lost alot of strength in doing push-ups!!! But I know... it takes time to build it back up. I just have to not skip it for too long, but to keep at it often... and build it back. But ugh- that I could only do 5 pushups from my toes today. I used to get over 10 without any trouble at one point! Now, I'm straining just to eek out 5, and then finish the rest from my knees. :-P

Tomorrow is a holiday for the kids and I (no school or work), so hopefully it won't be hard to get a workout in. And then after that... the busy week starts back up again.
