I haven't had the greatest past week. My mood was pretty low throughout. This may just be a hormonal thing from my birth control. I did decide to try to skip my period this month. But, there were other things that happened. Like workplace drama and starting a painting but having to restart because it wasn't working out.

I did workout most days. I didn't keep track, tho. Except for the back and core program. So, I'm just going to list what I remember. It's most likely not accurate and I'm not going to list a workout for these.

I finally decided on a program - Fireheart! I think a combat program will help with all the stress I've been having recently. I've been concerned with time before, but I've found if I start exercising by 1030am I can usually get 7 sets of a workout plus the add-on done and still have time to relax a bit before getting around for work. Which is what I did today!

I'm glad today was a lighter exercise day. My sense of time has been messed up thanks to a surprise 5 am tornado warning. It's not fun waking up to blaring sirens and stumbling half-awake to a safe place while trying to look up info on the phone. There was a confirmed tornado, but I wasn't in it's path. Took a while to go back to bed and I ended up sleeping in a bit.

March 22 Accomplishments:
No workout - The screw to my implant fell out the night before so I had to make an emergency appointment. It wasn't too serious. The actual implant didn't fall out. The screw was just a small one to cap the implant and prevent the gums from growing over. Unfortunately, during the night, my gums closed up around the implant, so some tissue had to be removed. It was actually a pretty easy and quick fix, tho. I got the tissue removed and screw replaced in about ten minutes.

March 23 Accomplishments:
No workout - Spent the day at COSI - a science musuem in Ohio. While it is geared to family and kids, the main thing that me and my sister wanted to see was the Titanic exhibit. It wasn't what I thought it would be. I thought it would just be a couple rooms with a few artifacts - I also went into this blind. I didn't look up anything about it before going. It was a lot of rooms and took about an hour to go through. There was so much stuff! A lot of artifacts, stories, replicas - including a full-scale replica of the fancy staircase with the dome, and it went through the events before, during, and after the tragedy.

No workout - looking at apartments

My schedule is starting to get busy with appointments. I'm trying to get everything in order before I leave for vacation in June. I also have to find and move to a new apartment since my current one was bought out by a company that believes I should be paying $300 more for an old, outdated apartment that hasn't been renovated in 5 years.

Sorry for the long period of silence. I got into a car accident before moving. There were luckily no injuries on either side, just ended up having to deal with insurance and the repairs. I found a new apartment that is better than my last one. My vacation was much needed after all that. I had a lot of fun in Ireland. After I got back, I got an electronic drum kit and have been really focused on learning the drums. Unfortunately, I have got to a point where all I'm mostly doing is work, drumming, or playing video games. That's a lot of sitting and I really need to get regular exercise back into my routine.

Since it's been months since I've done regular exercise, I'm going to do a lighter program than what I've previously done. I'm going to start with the Foundation program along with the add-on Back and Core program. I did day one of foundation today and felt I needed a little more afterward. I've also been feeling a little back pain so maybe that will help.

I started to do some of these when I wake up and before breakfast. I kinda like doing that, especially on work days. It feels like I can get more done before work when the first thing I do is exercise. I also tend to make more for breakfast then just throwing a bagel in the toaster. Granted, I am just adding eggs or bacon to the bagel, nothing special.
