Am trying to finish two big bangs that are due within the next week, so still not exercising regularly in the mornings. However, got in some good yoga yesterday (about an hour of hatha style - trying not to kill myself like I usually do after a week off), and the kids and I walked around the lake, about 2.5 miles in about an hour, very hilly. Beautiful weather for it. Was jealous of all the gorgeous houses.

However, weirdly, I have found teh solution to FREEZING MY ASS OFF in the stupid HVAC at my work. Well, part of the solution was figuring out which doors to close, BUT the other part is mini-workouts throughout the day. I had already noticed this climbing stairs, but climbing stairs is freakin' boring, and usually I only have the will to do 2 trips a day, even when my legs are in shape for 4-6 trips. However, knock out a few 20 rep sets of jumping jacks, a set of pushups, some body weight lunge and a nice wall sit? Takes 3-5 minutes, body temp is up AND I get to log something in on Fitocracy. Win, win, win! :) Exercise, heat, and points. What's not to love? Also, I am working my legs back into shape so I can do at least one set of stairs everyday as part of my set of mini-workouts. Stairs are good for me. I just wish our stairwell weren't such a dump. At least it is not stinky and it is warm in there. I'd like to move my desk to the stair well. So warm. (It's really cold at my work, did I mention that?)
