Week One

Not quite the 'lift off' I was expecting!

But that is probably a good thing - fundamentals are important.

Like the squat.  I have discovered today that my squats, which have never been good, are now really bad!  My flexibility is horrendous!

No where near parallel, too much butt, and my back is certainly not upright!

I've looked up some flexibility exercises for my ankles, hamstrings, glutes, hip flexors, and lower back.  Lots of gentle stretching this week, as well as squating, and I hope to see some improvement. 

I do worry that as the week continues it will only highlight more issues in flexibility.

So this week I move, I move often and with vigour.

6 days to go!

I am totally over being sick. 

No more complaining as of now! 

No more excuses as of now!

The time is getting closer and two weeks of this chest cold has thwarted my goals long enough!  I'm getting better, slowly, and although even moderate exercise is out of the question, some light exercise would do me good!  I'm pretty sure the pizza and coke for dinner, even though it did save washing up and the energy expenditure from cooking, was not 'immune boosting'. 

No more interruptions.
