Wonderful Flow

I don't think I've ever typed up what my "Wonderful Flow" is... so I made this up myself using Holly's 5 min Feel Good Flow. I do it two times as I listen to 2 repeats of Wonderful Wonderful by the Killers. The song is 5:10, so it takes me just over 10 minutes to do two Wonderful Flows.

Stretch hands to heaven
Swan dive
Standing legs, bent over T hand to heaven alt
Chair pose
Hip opener squat and Bent over straight leg 3x
Downward Dog Upward Dog 3x

Then the following all with Right leg forward for round 1, then next repeat of song, do the above again followed by left leg forward of the following:

Jan 13 - 18

Monday - I did a BFL cardio run this morning, and I hated it. And I got up to do it at 5:45! Life is Pain - you can choose: The Pain of DISCIPLINE - or - the Pain of DISAPPOINTMENT. Today I chose Pain of discipline, and it's better than the pain of disappointment, cause it only lasted that 20 minutes, and then I felt great about myself all day.
Tuesday - It was a simple workout last Tues, but it got me nicely sore, so I thought I'd do Holly's December Workout C again - 6 rounds of:
   5 Low hinge Burpees
   5 back lunge and twist with 2/15 left leg
   5 back lunge and twist with 2/15 right leg
   5 left leg donkey kick dead lift with 2/15
   5 right leg donkey kick dead lift with 2/15
Wednesday - I only got in 15 minutes and 3 of my BFL hiit runs and then I had to take carpool to Skyline Jazz band, then when I got home I had to take Churchill carpool, then we went and got our car from the service center, anyway, I didn't get back to the treadmill but I'll hit it hard on Friday. Around 5 pm I did 60 reps of: Standing shoulder press with 2/12, lying triceps extensions with 2/12, then lying straight arm tricep hinge with 1/12.
Thursday - 6 min jog BFL style, with warm up, jog, sprint at the end, to finish up the cardio from yesterday. Then 2 Wonderful Flows, then 4 rounds of the following:
  • 5x of jump lunge right, jump lunge left, jump squat = 1 
  • 100 calf raise pulses holding two 30 lb dumbbells
  • 20 deadlifts with 2/30 lbs
  • 15x of lower than parallel squats with 1/30 lb
  • 1 min center plank on hands
First time I've done that since I was 33 weeks pregnant with Peter. Round 1 time: 4:11, round 2: 3:46, round 3 - 3:45, round 4 - 3:10! I had to push hard but only did 4 rounds in hopes that I will be able to walk tomorrow. The first time I did it in June 2018, I did 10 rounds and I was unable to walk for almost a week. I don't want that to happen again, so 4 rounds it is, we'll see how I feel tomorrow. I'm proud of myself for 4/4 workouts this week, AND each time was in the AM too! Go me
Friday -  This AM I just did 3 of my BFL hiit runs, 1.3 miles in 16 minutes. then had to take the kids to school, weather was too bad for them to drive the Fiesta. Ty flow after I got home.
Saturday - 2 Wonderful Flows

Jan 6 - 11

Monday - Peter had a high fever today and pretty much would not let me put him down. I did about 1/2 of a Ty flow, that was it
Tuesday - Snuck away from P this morning, 20 min walk 1.16 miles, then Holly's December Workout C - I did 6 rounds of:
5 Low hinge Burpees
5 back lunge and twist with 2/15 left leg
5 back lunge and twist with 2/15 right leg
5 left leg donkey kick dead lift with 2/15
5 right leg donkey kick dead lift with 2/15
Wednesday - 20 minutes this morning, 1.20 miles.
Thursday - I took a walk while I waited for Abi at her flute lesson this afternoon - I walked to the vital records to pick up Peter's birth certificate instead of driving there. It was super cold! But I got 1.72 miles in (according to my phone), 32 minutes
Friday - no exercise but I did go to the temple and I also caught up a little bit on the family blog, so that's a win
Saturday - Busy day. Corey took the kids bowling and I decided to practice violin. Worked on Minuet 1 - trying to get better tone. 11 pm and I am nursing Peter here at the computer again. I'll try to stretch before I got to bed, but I'm kinda spoiling Peter and I don't know if he'll let me. Do I really keep nursing him? I feel like I'd get so much more done if I didn't nurse. I've nursed him longer than I have any of the other kids. It will be a year in a few days! He's almost a year old. I will NOT be giving him cow milk. But maybe I'll start to give him a bottle with soy or formula now and then.
