I’m starting to really like the weight workouts over the aerobic and yoga workouts.    They really energize me.   I think they do the opposite for DH, who seemed to have run out of gas toward the end.  Part of it could be that we ran out of carrots so he made straight apple juice, and apples are pretty low in sugar.   

I was also slightly nauseated after the work-out, so DH, DD and I did the Ab Ripper later in the afternoon, while our 2 DS’s did the Ab workout immediately afterward.   I wish I hadn’t waited because I did run out of steam by then.  Next time I will stick it out and do the Ab Ripper right afterwards.

I wanted to do a little run down of some changes from the last 2 weeks. 

The one thing I’ve experienced is a lot of detox symptoms.    Not regular aches and pains but some peculiar things, like pains in weird places and a sinus infection.   I’m not sure if this was directly related to the workout, change in diet, etc. or if it’s more of a coincidence.

 Some positive benefits I’ve experienced are more energy (when not tired, that is) - I’ve been cleaning and organizing like crazy around the house.    Also during our stretching in Taekwondo, I’ve found them to be easier than they used to be!  My endurance is a lot better as well.

One thing I really want to work on is getting more sleep.   DH and I try to get in to bed by 10:00 but I often can’t fall asleep right off the bat, and when the alarm goes off at 5:45 I am completely out of it.   We are trying to get the kids in bed by 8:30 and that doesn’t always happen.  Their little bodies definitely need more rest than ours!   They are pretty wiped out with the new schedule too.   So that’s one thing to work on.
