Day 2 - Check!

So I just finished Day 2 of my 30-day Challenge. According to the program, I burned 172 calories today, which is curious because I decided to do the low-intensity workout instead of medium today. I feel so much better today than yesterday. I mean I don't feel entirely defeated and I don't need to go lie down in front of a fan! LOL I am perspiring and I feel hot and I feel like I am stinky (TMI?), but I don't feel like I'm going to vomit or like I'm close to death. hahaha I feel really good. I also took a hint from yesterday and got water handy ahead of time and turned the fan on before I started working out. :) Kept me much cooler. Duh, that was a stupid rookie mistake yesterday.

Now, I'll again admit I took a little break in the middle of the workouts, but that wasn't because I needed a break. My mother called and I was talking to her for a little bit. Actually, I talked to her while I was doing kick-ups for a little bit, then that portion ended, so I just finished our conversation before continuing on to the next exercise. All in all, I think it was a 15 minute break. I can see how difficult it is now for mothers with newborns or toddlers to get their exercise in! I got interrupted and I don't have a job or kids!!

I feel as though I could continue to workout. The program allows you to keep working out and pick your individual work outs if you want, but I'm not going to do that yet. I will take the dog for a walk later, I suppose that counts for something, right?

My side lunges today were so much better! I assume it's because of having the previous ones as practice. In any case, I'm improving on those. yay! But, we did forward and alternating lunges today... those will take some getting used to. I noticed the program holds lunges for 2 seconds when I have to step with my right leg and 3 when I step with my left. I find my left leg lunges more difficult to hold and I don't know if it's because that leg is weaker for some reason, or if it's just holding it that extra second. Strange. I know my right arm is stronger than my left because I use that arm more often, but I use my legs the same amount, so I don't necessarily believe my left one is weaker.

Looking at the calendar, my "trainer" says tomorrow is a Rest Day. It looks like ever 3rd day is a rest day. That's nice.

On to other things. I passed my POST test. This means I now have an Oral Board Interview, which to me means I have an interview in front of multiple people who will be judging how well they think I'll be able to perform the job. I assume the Interview will take about 30 minutes as there is 45 minutes schedule between the start of each interview. It looks as though there are 41 people who have an interview schedule and there are only 3 open positions. That gives any one of us a roughly 7% chance of getting picked. I don't have any dispatcher experience, but I do have a lot of phone experience and a lot of experience dealing with different types of people who are in varying degrees of stress. We'll see how it goes... Cross your fingers!
