More lifting

The holiday eating really did a number on me. It was totally worth it, though. Now, back to normal. I had to sit out a couple days do to feeling sick, but this morning was great. I really have to cut down on the time, though.

Qi Yoga

Not much to say. I did a 45 minute Qi Yoga class from YogaDownload.com this morning. It was a nice slow class, which also meant it was pretty hard. Maybe I was still tired from yesterday's lift. I loved how the instructor was very specific with descriptions.  I did manage to get into side crow for a bit on each side!

Yep, no mice this morning. Sometimes being alone is wonderful.

Little visitors

No, this time it wasn't my kids visiting me in my workout room.  One of the negatives about working out in the basement is that that is where all the unwelcome critters like to be.  This morning, I noticed that there were more traps set. I had set out two measly traps. My husband, as usual, was much more thorough than I am and set out a bunch more. To my surprise, one located in the exercise room had caught a fuzzy guy. I looked around into our utility room and there was another one. Neither of my two traps had be sprung. I knew they had come in when the weather turned colder because I had seen a few "presents" left behind in my workout area. Hubby said he actually saw one last night, so I guess that's why he set out more traps. I can only hope these are the only two that got in. Now I'm a little paranoid, because every little dark spec of dirt could be another "present."

The little critters didn't stop me from working out this morning. Although, I was a little wary of stepping on a trap. Luckily, that didn't happen.
