So this week I’ve been far from my usual workout self. I’m not quite sure what my deal is! Usually I get my workout plan for the week laid out and where everything can fit in to my busy week. Monday I decided sleeping was more exciting than getting up for yoga, but I did manage to get in spin class after work.
Tuesday morning I got up and worked out with Johnny per usual for a Tuesday morning, but I skipped running in between that and going to work. And we got a new client at work that’s left me at work late a couple of days and going in early. Which is why Tuesday night there was no time to fit in a workout post work and before my usually weekly movie night.
Wednesday morning I had to be at work early to prepare for a hearing and attend the hearing so I wasn’t able to get up early for yoga or anything. By the time we were finished with the hearing yesterday afternoon I was exhausted! Maybe because I didn’t get my usual cup of coffee in the morning. Or the hearing I sat through over temporary orders in a family law matter drained me. Or I had two of my protein shakes for breakfast and then finally got to eat a salad at 2:30 p.m. I somehow convinced myself to go to yoga. Probably because I have a goal of hitting 150 yoga classes by October 31st.
Yesterday after yoga I went home and sat in my bed and watched TV for like 3 hours before passing out around 10p.m. It felt great to do nothing for that many hours something I feel I rarely do. But I was suppose to be running 8 miles, cleaning up my house and prepping for a baby shower that Teal and I are hostesses for along with our friend Mandy.
Here we are at Thursday and I got up and did my usual Thursday morning workout with Johnny and again skipped on running before work. 🙁 Notice the lack of running this week? Yah, I haven’t actually run since we put in those 17 miles on Saturday. Which makes me wonder how 18 miles will go this coming Saturday!
Due to the lack of running this week though I kind of feel like I suck. 🙁 Here’s what this week training wise is suppose to be:
And in reality it’s look liked this –
Funny that I feel like I suck this week yet I’ve at least put in an hour each day doing something active! Ha
I have had a week like that due to my heel injury and a weird schedule at work. I know I should run through it, but my general laziness has kept me from it. How do you overcome it? That is what I struggle with so I relate to your post. You all are doing great. You’ll be back in the swing in no time!
I think part of it is how busy life is right now! It’s almost like I’ve filled my schedule to capacity and I’m about to explode. I’m big on ME time and rarely do I get that. I love to exercise and workout but that’s not what I consider me time. Part of what helps is I have my own yoga goals in mind and I’ll be so made if I don’t complete 150 classes by 10/31 so that keeps me going. My workouts with Johnny each month is paid on the first of every month so that keeps me going, plus he’s a good mixture of entertainment and working out. I need to do a blog post solely on meeting him and how that’s affected me. I think breaks are sometimes good – just have to remember to pick back up at some point and make that some point sooner rather than later!
