I did not work out today because our cat went to the vet; he continues to have health problems since his surgery.

Wednesday, June 16
I did not work out today because after taking our cat to the vet yesterday, we ended up in the ER at 2am with our dog. Then we returned at 10am for our cat's appointment and again at 3pm for our dog's appointment (follow-up for the ER visit). That's four vet visits in 29 hours. I think I got maybe three hours of sleep altogether. :(

      Workout Report: Days 50 – 56

      Monday, May 17
      Today, I only danced in class. Our instructor once again chided me for my "ballet" moves. His exact words, "We're going to have to beat that [ballet technique] out of you." Apparently, I was doing développés instead of proper kicks with a flexed foot during the Charleston.

          Workout Report: Days 36 – 42

          Monday, May 3
          Today I didn't officially workout except for the Lindy Hop class that I'm taking with my husband. When we got home, Corey and I sweat our asses off as we practiced in our kitchen for over an hour so we definitely burned calories. Here's a funny note from a conversation between our teacher Doug Silton and me:
          Doug: "Flex your foot."
          Me: "Do you always flex your foot in Lindy Hop?"
          Doug: "No. But you should."

          You can take the girl out of ballet class, but you can't take ballet class out of the girl!

          I didn't workout today, but I think three hours of cleaning house must have burned some calories.

          Sunday, May 9
          Today I took an intermediate yoga class at Yoga Blend. The class lasted 90 minutes, and the instructor David Adams kicks ass. Love this guy! I was finally able to hold the crow pose, and I know it is because EMAO has increased the strength in my biceps and triceps.

          • 1005 calories burned (excludes any calories burned during dance and yoga classes)
          • I am nowhere near most of my goals yet so it is time to shake things up. I plan to:
            • Change my diet,
            • Increase my workouts,
            • Incorporate more cardio, and
            • Add daily abdominal routines. 
          Fun, fun, fun.

                  I did not exercise due to painful menstrual cramps. I usually cannot move on the first day of my cycle so considering that I could walk today I can only assume that EMAO is helping my chaotic female hormones. *
