Well…

I took the extra Concerta at 7:30pm (12 hours from my morning dose) and by 10pm was tired.  Went to bed and felt like I could not sleep.  I tossed and turned and got up a few times.  But I must have slept.  For when my alarm went off at 6am I woke up feeling great!  I honestly cannot recall ever waking up feeling so refreshed and ready for my day.

I did my core work (20 - 25 mins), my 15 minute yoga routine and then some additional stretches.  I finished at 6:40 am (the time my alarm usually goes off and I start pressing snooze).  So I managed to fit breakfast and makeup into my morning routine and still get an earlier train!

So day 1 goes into the books as a success.

In case you are interested in my core work routine:

(Numbers are starting reps, will increase in most cases over time)

• Pelvic tilts x20
• Lying leg raises x 20 (each side)
• Prone leg raises x 20 (each side)
• Bridge x 10
• Plank 30 sec x 3
• Side plank 30 sec x 3 (each side)

I wasn’t that impressed by the yoga routine I chose from the internet.  I will try to find a new copy of ‘teach yourself yoga’ as I used to love the short routine in that.  As a back up I have other internet routines I can try.
