Well, today didn’t go as planned. My doctor started me on a new medication today, and I had a bad allergic reaction this morning and ended up going to the hospital for observation. I’m doing ok and should be back to normally fairly soon. But I plan to take it easy for the next couple of days.

- Today is my 31st birthday…. I moved to a new state a few months ago for a job and I still don’t really have any friends here, so I took myself out for a birthday dinner. I’ll be honest, I have been super discouraged all day because no one really remembered my birthday, and so I ate my emotions at dinner. Here’s to a fresh start tomorrow…
- Finished another run!
Purposely decided to take the day off from the gym. (I did a lot of walking today, though) In the past, I have over done things in the gym and burned myself out super quickly. So this time, I decided to plan purposeful days off.
- Day 3 was just a run, but I blasted some ABBA and just plowed through! We got this!!
I'm headed out to the gym. I'm doing c25k, then do a HIIT.
- Went to the gym and rode the bike for 2 miles then did a couple of sets with the weights!

- *I need ideas*
The last time I had success at weight loss (before my children 4 years ago) I found the best route to take for me was to work out early in the AM (like 5AM). I want to start doing it again, but I have a dilemma. My son's bedroom (he's 4) is directly under my only workout space and I'm too afraid to wake him up with my movement (jumping, high knees, even picking up and putting down my weights).
Do you all have any ideas of something that isn't too expensive that I can put down on the floor to muffle the sound of my workouts? I have a thick yoga mat but I feel like I need more.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Picture of my Yoga Mat so I don't get lost!
