Last night I got seven hours sleep. Yay! It felt amazing!
I’ve tried a new bed time routine, which means I split feed Lacie at 6:30pm so she’s happy to be bathed, and then watch us have dinner, then I take her upstairs around 8ish, we draw the curtains, put her in her sleeping bag and then I do another short feed, where she usually falls fast asleep. We’ve been doing this little routine for a week now and she sleeps upstairs on her own until 10:30, then I wake her for a feed and we both go to bed. It seems to working really well. There’s been a few seven hour nights! It makes such a difference.
So after such a ‘long’ sleep, I got up at 6:30 and got a workout done. I had a good hour until she woke so I crammed in all I could whilst she slept.
I warmed up with 60 seconds of;
Glute bridges
Prisioner squats
Resistance band back pulls
Then
Disco lunges.
I repeated this circuit three times.
I then did 2 minutes of step ups on my powerbag to get my heart rate up followed by 60 seconds of
Light kettlebell swings
Followed by
Tricep dips.
Again I repeated this three times, followed by another burst of step ups on my powerbag.
I finished with
* Tabata goblet squats with my powerbag
* a 30 second plank with my knees on the floor
* Tabata Powerbag thrusters
And lastly
* 60 seconds of tube walking with my feet internally rotated.
Phew!
It felt good to get my workout done then run upstairs pop my head over her crib and get the biggest morning smile in the world! I love it when she wakes up so happy, it makes my day!
