♥ SMART Quest ♥ Wed. March 9, 2011

My SMART Quest for today:  Continue trying to stay positive.  I am starting to feel overwhelmed with all of the things I have to do in my everyday life!  Sometimes I bite off more than I can chew and with my mind wandering all the time thanks to menopause it is really hard to stay focused.

Sleep:  - 6  1/2 hours - Went to bed at 10:00 pm  - I had to get up earlier as my daughter was going on a retreat and I had to help her get ready!

Awoke:  4:30 am

Warm Up: 5:00 am 

8 push ups

12 squats

10 spiderman climbs

20 jumping jacks

Completed 2 rounds!

Workout:  5:05 am

Today I am doing Scott Colby's Ageless Abs 1 - Weight Based Interval Training #1 From week 7/8

I was so tired.  My heart rate was way up.  It has been awhile since I have done Dumbbell workouts so I went a bit lighter on the weights.  Glad I did as it was very hard to get through the Reverse lunge with overhead press, wow oh wow!
