Last week in photos

So the photo plan actually started out working quite well.  Each day before the photo we would straighten up a bit, since there wasn't too much to pick up.  I think Thursday was when I started to let it go a bit.  In my defense, I received some pretty huge news on Thu.  More on that later.  :)

I took photos of kitchen and living room.  However, I will only post living room, due to time & formatting constraints.  Here are the photos:

Housekeeping July 10-16

So... My housekeeping plan for this week is as follows. I took a picture of the state of our living room and kitchen this morning. I hope to keep these rooms in these states (or better) for at least a week. I will take photos each day to track the progress. Below are the starting photos.



Ultimate Fitness Plan Week 5

So... I'm finding that it's a lot easier for me to get going with the runs than with the resistance training.  In the morning anyways.  I think in the afternoons it would be the opposite.  I'm not sure how to explain why this is.  So, I guess I won't for now.  Week 5 went well.  I shifted the workouts again, since I got to bed so late on Independence Day (and by so late, I mean just after 10 pm, haha).  It worked well though.  Tomorrow I start on the 6th and final week of this workout plan!!  Time to choose a new one.

Ultimate Fitness Plan Weeks 3 & 4

Week 3 went well.  Although I did have to do like I did on week 2, and shift the last three days.  Tuesday night of week 3 I set my alarm, but somehow did not turn it on... So I slept late and didn't get to work out that morning.  That evening I had a public meeting to attend after work, so working out that evening didn't happen either.  Therefore, I shifted the days as I did in week 2.

Week 4 has somehow been more difficult.  I've gotten in all of my workouts, but it has been so hard to wake up and hard to get moving.  Maybe it's because I haven't been sleeping wonderfully this week... For some reason I've been taking longer to fall asleep and waking up 30-60 min before the alarm this week.

Thoughts on this workout program:  I like the 5 days/week thing.  The program isn't as challenging, physically, as I thought it would be.  I'd like to pick something a bit more difficult for the next one, and perhaps 3 days of cardio instead of 2.
