How I’m Feeling This Week

Sleep deprived and worn thin.

Workouts I did

Monday: [ solidcore ] signature50

Wednesday: [ solidcore ] signature50

Total workouts this week: 2 classes

Goal for next week: 3 classes

Pelvic Floor & Core Check-In

I feel my core getting stronger with each class. Little things like being able to sit up from laying down while holding my baby are big wins.

Real Moment from this Week

My baby was coughing all Thursday night. I think I had a total of 3 hours of sleep. I ended up canceling my yoga class I had scheduled for Friday evening. I just didn’t have the energy to even think about going.

Small Win

I scheduled a 6am class for next week to workout with a friend. Hopefully next week my small win is attending the class!

What I’m Working on next week

I’m going to work on drinking more water. I was so thirsty after my workout on Wednesday. I was also craving salt, so I might look into getting some electrolyte powder.

Thanks for following along, see you next Friday!

What time do you usually like to workout?

I’ve been scheduling my workouts after 4pm when Jake is off work, but I’m toying with the idea of working out before he starts work. I’m not much of a morning person, so we’ll see!

How I’m Feeling This Week

I’m feeling pretty tired this week, especially on Friday. I don’t know if it’s my workouts catching up to me or just the long travel day on Thursday, but I can’t seem to wake up. 

Workouts I did

Sunday: YogaSix Signature Hot

Hot means HOT. Next time I’ll be wearing shorts, not leggings.

Monday: Pure Barre Align

This was different from the Classic class. It still felt like a workout but even more stretching. I booked 2 more classes this week already!

Tuesday: [ solidcore ] Signature50

I struggled in the obliques section again, but overall it was a great workout.

Thursday: Pure Barre Align

Getting a good workout in before 3 hours in the car was clutch.

Saturday: YogaSix Slow Flow

Total workouts this week: 5 classes

Goal for next week: 4 classes

Pelvic Floor & Core Check-In

Pure Barre really emphasizes my hip weakness. There are a lot of leg lifts, and like I mentioned last week, my right hip is a lot weaker than my left. I feel like I have to heave my leg up to do the lift. Also it clicks a lot with most of the movements. I felt a little pubic bone pain during the heavy squats at my Tuesday solidcore class, but nothing too bad. 

Real Moment from this Week

With the chaos of it being Thanksgiving morning, I forgot to check-in on our insurance app and received a nasty email stating I would have to pay a late fee or wait until next month to book another class. Luckily I was able to chat with the AI bot and it waived the fee because I explained I wasn’t a no show. I had proof from Pure Barre I was there. My brain was fried by the time I made it to Thanksgiving and the day was so busy. Luckily they waived it and gave me a “second chance” since it was the first time. I definitely won’t be forgetting to check in again!! I really wish Wellhub used different verbiage. There’s no way for them to know I guess, but I wasn’t a no show! I was a missed check in. 

Now I know what happens if I miss the check in with Wellhub step. Now I know it’s not connected to the gyms in any way. Totally my fault and I’m lucky they’re understanding. 

I’m really struggling at the end of this week! I drove all the way to my yoga class and realized I forgot my mat. I had to pay a $3 mat rental fee. 

Small Win

I can tell my core is stronger. We did straight leg sit-ups in Align and I was able to do them very controlled. No momentum whatsoever!

After forgetting  Wellhub check in on Thursday, and forgetting my yoga mat on Saturday morning, my anxiety really kicked in. I was standing in the yoga six lobby seriously contemplating just going home because I was so discouraged. I ended up completing the class and even signing up for a 12 classes in 3 months challenge. I’m proud of myself for not letting my anxiety ruin my day and even challenging myself after the fact.

What I’m Working on next week

Better recovery. I might’ve overdid it a little this week, but I also didn’t prioritize eating because the class times were weird and I know I didn’t drink enough water. 

Thanks for following along, see you next Friday!

What was your small win today?
