Full disclosure this week. It was a long week with absolutely no fitness. Why? I have one heck of a sinus infection. It hurts to lower my head and just pretty much do anything. Breathing has been difficult and my head feels like someone keeps squeezing it.
So what does that mean? I listened to my body and RESTED. I did get a spin class in Sunday, a workout DVD on Monday and a walk with the dogs and then Tuesday came and I barely made it through the day. After a doctor visit and her recommendation to rest I hardly left the couch on Wednesday. I worked as much as I could from home but my body needed to rest.
Thursday was back to work and Scott and I did head to an archery range near us. I had purchased a Groupon for an Archery lesson (for me, Scott bow hunts) and 2 hours in the range. Considering that this was the first time I had even held a bow I did surprisingly well. A few bulls eye’s and I even managed to get on the targets at the end of the range. Pretty good for a newbie.
Check out my face here, I was concentrating!
This one was all about perfect my form. Pulling the string back to the corner of my mouth, relaxing my shoulders and trying my hardest not to stick my hip out. As a longtime dancer I have the worst habit of standing with a foot to the side and my hip out. It’s so bad!
And while I wouldn’t call this a true workout you are moving around enough and your arms get really tired. I can’t wait to do this again! We had a blast.
Today is one more day of rest but the dogs will get a walk when I get home from work for at least a bit of activity and tomorrow is a chance to try another new to me activity; snowshoeing! I am so excited. This has been on my bucket list for so long. Scott got me snowshoes for my birthday (he got a pair too, since I wanted to do this together) and it’s supposed to be in the teens tomorrow and a good chance for us to get out. There are paths near our house and I am hoping for a good workout.
And I also get to rock my new Sorel boots. The ones I had were too short and snow kept getting in them, so I found a pair on Gilt and had an extra 30% off. It made them a much better deal!
