Alright, so I have been TRYING to do these daily workouts, I really have. Sunday I had a little screamer, every time he was not in my arms. Monday, the little screamer was nursing every 2 hours throughout the day AND NIGHT and then the icing on the cake was when the 4 year old starting barfing. Oh, and have I mentioned that my hubby works away so I get no tag outs, no relief and no help most of the time?! Tuesday I kept Little Barfer home from school, which he was totally capable of going, so he just ran laps around this tired old mum all day while Little Screamer did was he does best; cry. Bring on Wednesday, which was FINALLY a good day - Starting to get into the groove of things being on our own; neither child overly demanding or annoying; got out of the house for the ENTIRE morning and early afternoon. Woop woop! Success! But after all the running around and playing and putting on my game face for being in public, I didn't have much get-up-and-go to workout. I got through about half of the workout before baby starting fussing and I threw in the towel.

But I actually got today's workout done. YAY! I pounded it out, so it
only took about 10 minutes (next time I'll actually time it). Again, I
found it fairly easy, but I need easy right now. The Saturday's workout I
had found almost too easy when I was doing it, but I actually felt some
of those unused muscles the next day. Now don't get me wrong, they
weren't crying out "OMG THAT HURTS SO GOOD!", but there was a little
burny happening.
Modifications/Changes: My nursing boobies
were complaining quite a bit when I was doing the jumping jacks, so I
broke it down and did 20 in between each exercise - which means I
actually doubled the reps! I wasn't sure what exactly the lunge
split jumps were and didn't want to break stride to google, so I did
20 walking lunges instead. Also, I did modified pushups instead of wall
pushups.
Successes/Celebrations: I pushed myself to do
this workout fast and hard without doing the exercises sloppily. I got
out 15 (modified) pushups before I had to take a little breather, but
they were all in good form.
