DAY 10: 27 Reasons Why You Shouldn't Work Out Today

 I came across this hilarious article called:  27 Reasons Why You Shouldn't Work Out Today. So I thought I'd open up with a link to that. It is pretty silly, but some are kinda true. My personal favorite is #18. It totally sounds like something I'd say... check it out:

But don't worry - I DID work out today!

I took my own advice & worked out earlier in the day today. I went to bed last night around 2am. Then my daughter woke up at 5am coughing, sneezing, sniffling, and was having a hard time breathing. So I was up with her for a while. Then she was wide awake again before 7am, which is my wake-up time.  She did not go to school today, but my son did - so I had to get up anyway... with less than 5 hours of sleep. 
So, I didn't have much free time without kids today - and when she was playing in the room, I took a nap. I felt sooo much better. 
After I picked up my son from school - I was determined to do my workout. Today was a 35 min "Bum Bum" (butt) video and a 55 min Sculpting video - with weights. Because of my back injury, I opted not to do the Sculpting video until Friday. But I REALLY did get a workout with Bum Bum. I really worked up a sweat, and I know my butt is gonna be killing me tomorrow.
I can't help but wonder if I should keep pushing through, or stop working out altogether while my back is hurt? As it is, I'm not doing EVERYTHING that is on the plan. But is it helping my back to get it moving again, or am I hindering it by pressing on? I really wanted to be done with this 2 month plan by Christmas... and follow it as close as I could. I have to admit - it felt really good to watch the last 10 minutes on the couch last night. :)

Tomorrow is High & Tight (35min), and Tummy Tuck (20 min) just like yesterday. I'm gonna do the whole thing tomorrow & press on this week. We'll see what happens by the weekend. I think having done it for 2 weeks might give me an idea of what it will take to continue.

As for eating, I am not totally picking and choosing from the menu, but I am watching my calories. So- hopefully that is enough.

Until tomorrow, I came across this picture on Facebook, and thought it was totally appropriate (please excuse the naked lady - I covered as much as I could...):
