WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 5, 2012

Drat!  I have a cold.  I felt it coming on last night and was hoping it was just allergies, but alas, this morning, when I woke up, there was phlegm galore!  And I am a wee bit sore in the legs and lower back from yesterday’s Insanity workout.  Ouch!

I made it through day #2 of Insanity, with some modifications, of course, but I did it.  Candi, the cruise director, used to be a physical fitness coach/trainer/instructor/etc. and is a great motivator to keep me going . . .

Arte Diem performed their shows again tonight, and once again, Wednesdays proved to be a great night for them!  They incorporated many of the suggestions I gave them and the show flowed better.  Once again, standing ovations.  They’re such a talented group, and so gracious and kind.

OK, by 8pm, I could barely walk – my legs were OK . . . sure, my calves were sore, but it’s the lower left side of my back.  If you’ve ever pulled your back, where standing up straight is a challenge . . . well, that’s where I was tonight.  By the time I crawled into bed at 8:40pm (yes, that early – trying to kill this cold as quickly as possible), it was a challenge to just get in and out of it . . . not to mention the chore that was taking off shoes and socks!  OY!  Thank goodness for a little glass of wine and two episodes of THE GOLDEN GIRLS!  After that, I was ready for a deep sleep, to which I drifted off around 9:30pm and slept until 8:00am the next morning!
