To say I had a tough night would be an understatement.
Why do people promote co-sleeping with their children?! I've never co-slept with Kal Kal till last night and it was only to monitor him. We have a King size Memory foam craftmatic bed sofa bed that should have been big enough for me and an 2 year old. But instead, he wouldn't stick to his side of the bed and kept trying to squeeze me off the bed! He: butted me in the head, gauged me in the eye, picked my nose, hooked my mouth, spat in my face and kicked me in the stomach. Forget child safety! What about my safety?! I woke up bruised and was so achy you'd think I just did three rounds of Insanity in a row! I might have to co-sleep with him again tonight and I'm thinking about wearing protective gear...
So no, I didn't have a good night.
I've never had a workout that could get me out of a funk. I've never had a workout that I can truly say I enjoy. Rockin' Body is trully something else. I know I've been making fun of it and to be honest, I still do but this workout has been the saving grace this weekend. So the Kal Kal went down for her a nap, I kicked T out of the living room so I can do Disco Groove with Shaun T. I don't even mind the cheesy rapping/singing in the beginning. In fact, that gets me ready and I'm already smiling when he starts.
I LOVE THIS WORKOUT.
It is so fun...I'm so happy I started this program...I really do smile all the way through and 35 minutes goes just like that. Couple of things to suggest if you are thinking of trying out this program:
1. Don't tie your hair up. Let it just go wild! I've always had my hair up in a pony but today I just didn't feel like and I felt like a rockstar! Seriously, something about hair swooshing right and left made me feel like a goddess. I didn't even mind eating my own hair. It tasted like strawberries in case you were wondering.
2. Go barefoot! All the sliding and hopping has caused me some problems in my cross trainers so I just decided to get rid of the shoes. It feels so much better! I can move around more easily and not worry about blisters. It's also been kinder to my feet.
3. Don't take it too seriously. You have to just let the music lead you and if you don't do a step right, who cares! Half of the time I'm waving my arms in the air like a crazy monkey but I just go with it!
4. Witih all the hair swooshing and tousling , keep your eyes open because you might get dizzy...like me who lost my balance cuz I was 'in the moment' and again, smacked into the wall. The wall and I are becoming best friends.
5. Again, like all of Shaun T's workouts: Hold your core in. Not only does it protect you, in Rockin' Body, it makes me feel really banging sexy when I'm moving my hip side to side.
Even though it's been a hellish day, I had so much fun doing Disco Groove, I felt invigorated and energized. Even my husband had no idea why I was so happy on 3 hours of sleep.
I expect tonight to be another long restless night.
♫♫ Play that funky music, white boy... ♫
