This week I’ve had an off week.  Off, meaning, a lighter workout week than I have in the past few weeks but also off in the sense that I’m off my new routine.  I promised my husband I would give myself a rest from so much working out.  My deal, in my head that is, was that when my son was home I would not go to the gym.  The little trick I pulled was that I didn’t go to the gym BUT I did do something.  Monday my son and I walked 2.8 miles.   Walking isn’t exerting myself much but it’s moving and I give credit there for doing something.  Tuesday I should have been in my new class but I had to finish up something important at work and left too late to get to the gym to get into the class.  I had other things I had to do as well so my time was limited. I came home and did a brief 32-minute workout in my basement with heavier weights than I usually use.  I’m hoping heavier but shorter was effective. It’s all movement so it’s good. Wednesday I took a second rest day to go to dinner with a friend.  Thursday I should have been in class but I didn’t want to go to the gym for two reasons.  One, I promised to have an easier week.  Second I’m reworking my caloric intake/macros and needed to rework what days I’ll be doing what and where I’ll be.  Tomorrow I’ll do a weight routine and use heavier weights instead of cardio to finish off my promise.  Next week experiment #3 begins.
