So far this week, easy days at work, 5 hours or so. Little to no back pain!

Today's exercises:

35 Torso Track reps
all 3 stretches: WigWags, Piriformis, Hamstring
Lateral leg lifts, 15 per side
On-tummy leg lifts, 15 each
Mr. Sandman, 15 reps
Froggies: 8
Pelvic Lift, 12 reps
5 lb weights: Curls, wings, back wings, push-ups, 10 each
Planks: 10
Side planks: 10 per side
20 squats


These silly names (Mr. Sandman, Froggies) are from a class I took in the 80's! "Wigwags" are named by my physical therapist

I'm getting geared up mentally for The Christmas (or Holiday, haven't decided) Challenge I'm going to start on September 1st. It's so hard to adhere to Atkins in my workplace...it is so physically demanding, I get so hungry sometimes, plus I am surrounded by hundreds of inappropriate desserts, fruits, pastas, breads, appetizers, etc. Literally hundreds. I tried taking my own foods, but it's a pain since some days I work 15 hours, some days I work 4. Some days are not physically demanding, some are excessively so. I never know until I clock in what I'll be doing. I ended up packing foods for the worst case scenario every day and throwing away a lot that didn't stay cold long enough to stay 'good'. So I'm resistant to trying again but I know I have to figure this out.
