Daily Checklist and Day 2 of The Thirty Day Shred – Fitting in a Workout

I’m the queen of excuses.  My biggie when it comes to exercising is timing.  I require a shower after working out.  There is no such thing as fitting in a quick workout between errands.

Nope.  If this chick is going to sweat (which I tend to do more than the average person), she had better have time for a shower.  And if she needs to wash her hair . . . her naturally-curly-has-a-mind-of-its-own hair, she also has to have time for it to air-dry before she needs to be somewhere that requires dry hair.  To a straight-haired-person, this might seem like a lame excuse, but unless I want to walk around looking like I just came off of an 80’s music video shoot, I have to avoid hairdryers.

Since it’s Tuesday, I needed to clean the bathrooms.  Bathroom cleaning, like exercising, requires a full-body-scrub-down afterwards.  So, I exercised first.  When I first began this 30 Day Shred challenge (like, yesterday) I planned to do housework first, then exercise, then shower.  But when I compared the grossnesses, I decided that bathrooms won.  Exercising first meant that I would already be sweaty when I worked on the bathrooms.  Not so bad.  But if I cleaned bathrooms first, I’d have the excuse of not wanting to get the nastiness on my rug when I had to lay down to do the (horrible and painful) ab portion.

If you’re new here, welcome to my brand of crazy.

Really?  Is stuff like this as complicated for normal people?

As for my daily checklist, I’ve made the bed, cleaned and swept the kitchen, run the dishwasher (since I loaded it but forgot to start it last night), and cleaned bathrooms.

    Is that last ab circuit not the most killer thing ever!?

    I'm also seeing how exercising fits into my schedule best this week, all while trying to stick with my cleaning routine.

    So far, so good, but it's only Tuesday. 🙂 Good luck!

    I'm going to have to avoid blogs which make me laugh. My abs are killing me. And don't even talk about sneezing.

    Heh, I've actually made myself wait to take a shower until I do some sort of physical activity. Then I shower right before bed and let my hair dry while I sleep. Life is every bit as complicated over here! :>) (my brand of crazy – hee hee!)

    Lenetta! I'm so glad to hear from you again! Letting my hair dry while I sleep is an option if I feel like dressing as Bozo the Clown the next day. Serious scary wild curls!

    Doing the Slim in 6 that I found for 50 cents at a thrift store…abs not so much but quads and triceps. I can't get out of a chair!

    You can't put curl cream in your curls and shoot them for a couple minutes with a diffuser? There are some awesome no-frizz products out there.

    Thrift stores are the greatest!

    I've tried a few no-frizz products, but most seem to irritate my allergies with the scent. It makes me scared to try more.

    (See how good I am at my excuses?)

    One of the reasons that I chose the 30-Day shred was that it's only 30 minutes. I can manage getting up 30 minutes earlier to work out – if I don't do it in the morning, it's not going to get done. I do the workout, then jump in the shower.

    Hilarious! Reading about the 30 Day Shred makes me want to break out my copy. Sort of. Jillian scares me.
