Remember To Eat!

An interesting start to the week. I run my own business (www.Raw-Pleasure.com.au, raw food, not porn! Check it out, we're awesome) and Mondays are our busiest days. So Sunday night I convinced myself that I would rise just 10 minutes earlier and get on the rebounder. Woke up Monday and that didn't happen... I have my BEST intentions just before I fall asleep.

So Monday after work I got on my rebounder and started bouncing away, only to fall right off it about 30 seconds later dizzy as all get out. Lesson of the day, EAT! It was so busy Monday that I literally didn't eat all bloody day. Annoyed with self.

Tuesday I got up and ate right away, but we had our biggest ever day in the office which was great! By the time I finished work, then made dinner, then spent time with the kids, then spent time with the hubby, it was after 10pm and I was done in. We received a delivery though and helping lift the boxes of the truck and running to the storage facility with them was enough to raise my heart rate for a bit so that's ok at one level. At least one of my friends will shake their head and say "No Excuses Jen" and I'm grateful for that. Thanks!

Today rebounded away with weights for 10 minutes, 2 minutes warm up, 2 minutes doing 2-arm-tricep-extensions (good for coordination on the rebounder!), 2 minutes bicep curls and 2 minutes of another tricep exercise that I can't find a name for and another 2 minutes doing twists. I did three of these with my legs in a squat position so yay me!

Right after that I did some yoga. From Yogabody's* Gravity DVD I did the Hamstrings and the Shoulders exercises. Gravity yoga is about holding each pose for between 2 and 5 minutes.  My son joined in too! He's got very tight legs and always has had so I was delighted when he wanted to work out too.

I've had breakfast and a snack after my workout of tomatoes and raw hommus made by one of my favourite farmers at the Miami Markets on the Gold Coast. I chose this snack because I luuuuurve tomatoes, and the hommus is based on sprouted chickpeas which are said to be high in protein which, I hear, is good for muscle recovery 'n' stuff.

Remember this people:

It's good advice. :)

* A note on Yogabody, I purchased the DVD in a pack that offered one month's free coaching. I did have questions and emailed them. It took days to get a response if at all, and when I did finally hear something from them it was to say that Lucas would address my question's in his next email. Well I must have counted through 20 emails before I unsubscribed without hearing anything about any of my questions. The DVD is great but I wouldn't pay for the ebook and was glad it was part of the package as all the information in it forms the basis of their newsletters anyway.

This being said, the DVD is great. The instruction on it very clear and I really like the Yogabody supplements. If you're after good products but don't care less about other areas of service, then go for it! They post quickly too. :)
