PiYo Day Thirty Nine (Core)

Today was one of those time to organize the mountain of paperwork I have been ignoring on our dining room table.  I’m sure you all have a dumping ground similar to this, a wasteland of unpaid bills, irrelevant mailers, and token reminder fliers for all the wonderful things you plan on doing (but lets be honest they have probably already expired if you are anything like me…)  My life is full of reminders on lists and calendars both electronic and hardcopy, it can get a little overwhelming.  So today I spent my morning organizing the mountain and recycling about half of it.  This is always the most cathartic part for me as I watch the pile of impending stressors slowly disappear and be filed away neatly until it inevitably comes back with a vengeance another month from now (but that is a problem for future Alex, today I am feeling accomplished.)  Even though after hours of work around the house I still only managed to scratch off two things on my to-do list, I am pretty easily distracted by life.

In all of this chaos I did manage to make sure I kept an hour of my day set aside for my PiYo workout, today I did Core.  I decided to try working out in our bedroom while the nanny stayed in the living room with Davey.  I figured we already have this giant tumbling mat in here.  Now some of you may be asking why on earth do they have a tumbling mat in their bedroom (what kind of crazy stuff are they into over at the Zuck house? 😉  Unfortunately, it is nowhere near as exciting as some of your imaginations will have made it.  We are a family that prescribes to the family bed and with Davey getting more and more mobile each day I needed some peace if he were to ever fall off the bed.  It will also come in handy if he is anything like his dad I predict a lot of rolling and tumbling in this kids future. 

The workout did not go so great because although the mat worked well the space was a little cramped and I was worried I would end up knocking something over or hitting my hand on the ceiling fan if I allowed myself to really stretch out.  Lesson learned, I guess next time I will have to try the office or just accept needing to go down into the basement.  I mean, Chris works out there every morning and he is still kind of sane, I should at least give it a try one of these days.

Thanks for checking in everybody!
