Back at It

Here I am, more than a week since I last exercised.  We have been sick at this house.  I mean SICK.  The 4 year old had a stomach bug, which I caught, though not as bad as him.  We sent the 2 year old to my parents' house so she didn't catch it.  While she was there, she came down with the flu.  Of course we didn't quarantine quickly enough, so I got the flu, followed by the 7 month old.  The husband was the only one who didn't get really sick.  He had a head cold, but not enough to get out of taking care of the rest of us.  It's been a rough couple of weeks.  But I'm not using it as an excuse, as much as I would like to.

I'm back at it today.  I'm going to start kind of slow because I'm still not 100%.  I did get a full night's sleep last night.  It's been a while since I did that.  And I've done some exercise with a stability ball today.  I learned that I am not that stable.  Here's the routine I did:
I've only done it once, though it says to do it 2 to 3 times.  I'll try another round in a few minutes.  It was tougher than it looked.  And those were some wobbly push ups I eked out.  I'll still weigh in tomorrow.  I'm not feeling too confident about it, but I already missed one.  Hopefully having everyone on the mend means I can get back into a routine,
