Morning, everyone!

School was delayed for two hours today (I'm a teacher), and I was really tempted to just sleep in late and push my exercise back until tomorrow - especially because I was already sore when I went to bed last night just from the hour long introduction Zumba video thing I did.

But I'm tired of making excuses, so I got up earlier than I had to (fortunately today that meant 6:30 instead of the 4:30 it will have to be normal days), and I did the 20 minute express video. I'm now really tired, but I feel good because I actually did it. :smile:

    Woohoo!! You go girl! I'm lying here in bed in a blanket cocoon debating whether or not to get up for aqua tai chi because it's Sooooo cold here. Your post just inspired me to go for it!

    Good work on doing the early morning video! That is quite the feat. Mornings are not my happiest of times haha, especially when I have a weekend without much sleep. I have no one to blame but myself though.

    I have found out that the musical is going to be more of a workout than I thought. There isn't only going to be a fair bit of dancing, but I also am going to be lifting my dance partner. She is a great lady, but she is fairly Amazonian in build. This is the week where I learn if I can sing while holding 300 pounds in my arms as I am slowly spinning. I am feeling pretty confident that it shouldn't be an issue (I made one of my larger cohorts practice with me), but wish me luck!

    How is everyone finding the beginning of the challenge? I managed to prepare a lunch for today so I am already doing better than I feared.

    I got sidetracked by the warmth of my bed and the horrifying cold outside and didn't go to tai chi, so I need to pick something later. I think it's going to be swimming on the harness for an hour. I think our cold spell is going to break next week, thank goodness. I just loathe going out in subzero temps.

    Yummy breakfast of protein shake and coffee!!

    Welcome back, Zac!! What show are you doing?
