Challenge update

Last night a storm rolled through rousing me from my slumber.  Heavy rains and winds gusting to 60mph, hmm should I…back to sleep.  Until today there has been nothing more significant to add, except on days three and four I allowed my self a twenty minute power nap.

The alarm went off at 6:00am, head foggy, the mind desperately searching for reasons to convince the body not to move.  Ha, I win.  I am up and off to brush my teeth.

Today is my calisthenics day, good thing considering the weather.  Conversations in my head, don’t bother, you’ve done enough, go back to bed.  I push through and get started on push ups, as my mind gives up and joins the program.

Currently my exercise routine is fairly simple and to the point…get up and exercise.  One day I walk for 20 minutes.  The next day I do core (back, abs and chest) exercises for 20 minutes.

I started the exercises at a reasonable level for me.  This month is about getting up early and getting more done.  Any excercise I do now is more than I have been getting.  The idea is to create the habit.  I will be increasing the intensity of the exercises as my body becomes accustomed to more than my computer chair.

I think the break in my sleep by the storm was to blame for my foggy head.
