Sleep Monster or Sleeping Beauty

This weekend was kind of a wash.  I pretty much lazed around the house, read a book, and went to the gym.  Saturday, I did a kick-butt C25K session and felt pretty good.  Sunday, I tried the yoga thing.  I liked it because it gave my tight hips a real stretch.  I also enjoyed the total relaxation.  The class was for little over an hour, seemed peaceful and is definitely something I might do again.  It is something that I would classify as active-rest, but definitely not a workout.  There was one drawback though.

I got home at noon and then struggled to keep my eyes open all day.  I was so incredibly relaxed/sleepy.  At 5:30, I told my Sweetheart that I was going to lay down for a nap.  Well, I woke up Monday morning.  I slept almost 14 hours!!!  I have to say that Monday was kind of refreshing.  I wasn't sleepy at all and felt pretty crisp at work.  This could become addicting.  I could be taken over by a Sleep Monster.
However, I can't sleep like that all the time.  Who the heck has time to sleep that much?  If you do, I want your job.

Today is training with Debbie again.  I need to get my She-Ra attitude together to face it.
Have a great week!

  4. Yoga is amazing for stretching and toning! I love it! It's a nice relaxing break to a normal cardio routine! :)

  5. 14 hours of sleep is crazy. I'm not sure my body would do that. It wakes me up without my alarm -- that's good when I have to go to work..but some weekends I do just want to sleep in til 9 or so.
