Ahhhh… I have been counting down the days till Friday all week. (Well since Wednesday at least). It has just been one of those tiring/draining weeks where everything/everyone is getting on your last nerve. I think it’s because of Orientations and I’m working with people I don’t usually work with and their attitudes aren’t always the best unfortunately. Because of this crappy mood I’ve been in I’ve been exhausted the past couple days but I have pushed through in my workouts. I might not have had the best Insanity workouts but because I have jumped back into running I felt it compensated for that. My runs help me just relieve all that tension I have from work and I have been picking the pace up rather than a slow jog for a longer period of time. My goal on Thursday was to run 3 miles under 25 minutes. Unfortunately, I didn’t set that goal until I was at almost 23 minutes on the treadmill and had a ways to go still. But, when I picked up the pace I finished at 25:15 (15 seconds over :(). Yesterday, since I knew this goal was what I wanted I picked it up and finished in 24 minutes. I wanted to die when it was over because it didn’t help that I had just eaten dinner. ICK! When I came home my fiancé had on the NBA game so I laid there watching it with him and passed out. (I tend to do that anytime we’re just lounging around watching TV at night. It drives him up the wall!) Today is the last day of Orientations at work so I’ll go back to my usual routine next week. I get the whole weekend to relax and rejuvenate myself. I used to periodically do yoga and could feel it help me relax so my plan is to get in a least one session over the weekend. If I remember right my rest day for Insanity is coming up and I’ll take that day to do yoga and run. I am ready for this weekend. Typically, the weekends are my bad days solely because I’ll either go home or do something outside of my regular routine of the week which results in bad food choices. If I go home I’m not always lucky with my dad making me a “healthy” version of what they would eat. This weekend I’m only worried about Sunday. My little sister is wanting to make a day trip back to the city to go to the mall and asked if I wanted to go. Since I have nothing better to do with my life I agreed and will be running around with her all weekend. This is where I can get in trouble. I foresee us going to lunch, getting ice cream, etc. I’m hoping that isn’t the case but when these trips occur it’s always about splurging. I know that I have been strong lately so I’m sure I can resist the urge. My sister also informed me last night that she was told by one of her co-workers there is a crossfit gym in our town. I plan one day out of the weekend to go search for that and possibly give it a shot–depending on how much it will hurt not only my body but my budget as well.
Whelp… that’s pretty much all I have since the last post. I’m ahead on my morning routine this morning so I figured I’d post something to help me throughout the day. It is mind over matter and I can do anything I set me mind to!! I just know my goals wont come easy and that I must work hard for them!
