Instead I got to sleep in an extra hour and a half and my body got to recover. Cha-CHING!<\/p>\n<p>After exercising\u00a0nearly every day over the past week, I cannot say that I look any different, but I sure can say that I have been MUCH more productive every single day this week thanI have been in quite a long time. This even factors in a big confession: I took 2 naps this week, too!<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Here are my big fitness changes for the week:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Got up much earlier to exercise on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. (I didn&#8217;t have to get up early to exercise on Saturday. I just added it in.)<\/li>\n<li>Started using High Intensity Interval Training for my cardio workouts. (That means I warmed up, then cycled like the dickens for one minute, recovered\u00a0for another minute, and repeated several times before cooling down.)<\/li>\n<li>Began weight training twice a week with the help of a trainer.<\/li>\n<li>Added the use of a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.momstoolbox.com\/blog\/overall-update-soap-and-my-new-pushup-perfecter\/\" target=\"_blank\">sombrero as a push up perfecter<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Allowed myself to nap as needed. (Just kissing guilt goodbye, setting an alarm and doing that was a great thing!!)<\/li>\n<li>Began eating better breakfasts. I&#8217;ve been craving eggs. So I gave myself a solid breakfast each morning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It&#8217;s only been a week, and I can already see great changes in me (not visually- but on the inside).\u00a0I&#8217;ve been\u00a0getting many more things done that needed to be done. I&#8217;ve seen things more clearly than I have been seeing them. \u00a0And I&#8217;ve been more\u00a0focused on my kids after school (in a positive way!) than I think I have ever been. I think this exercise, paired my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.momstoolbox.com\/blog\/daily-devotion-31-days-in-proverbs-day-1\/\" target=\"_blank\">daily devotional time<\/a> is making a huge positive impact.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Now it&#8217;s your turn to let me know how\u00a0your week was&#8230;<\/h2>\n<p>Are you exercising with me? I&#8217;d love to hear all about it in the comments. What are you doing to exercise? What are your successes? What are your struggles? Let&#8217;s share and encourage each other.<\/p>\n<p>Just so you know: Exercising one more time this past week than the week\u00a0before is\u00a0a victory and progress in my book.
