Day three

Olivia helped in the process yet again today by waking around 5a.  Of course she also woke at 3a which did not help the process.  However, I was motivated enough to head out the door to get started on my jump rope which easily transitions into getting everything else done, too.  I still haven't secured a clean set, but I got really close on my first two this morning - my mind got the better of me when I'd get close.  I'm not sure what everyone else is doing, as I don't recall anything in the instructions, but I've giving myself a 10 - 20 second break between rope sets.

The squats were okay, but I can feel the slightly pain in my thighs by mid-morning - good workout!  The push-ups were fine, feeling a little more comfortable with them since the start.  The sit-ups, though, suck.  I'm finding myself driven to take the upper limit of the set counts on everything but the sit-up, and there I struggle to make the lower bound.  My poor abs just aren't there...

I headed into work planning to be there until noon, but my boss told me just to go ahead and leave.  I settled the last little bit of business I had and headed home.  I find myself wanting to eat... I wandered into the kitchen and laid my eyes on lots of things I shouldn't have, but wandered right back out.  I go for a plum on the dining table as soon as I'm done writing.

We've done most of our packing and I'll be finishing up now until Susan gets home from work.  From there we take a two hour drive to Chattanooga to 'stage' for the long drive on Saturday night.  Both sides of our family live there, so we're picking up a large contingent of them to go along with us.  Fitting the exercises around a crazy sleep / drive schedule should be interesting...

Keep at it team blue!
