Well, this was one of the first weeks since the new year began that life really got in the way. Read on ..
Mon 2/18: Following my 6 miles on Saturday and Pilates on Sunday, I wasn't feeling it this day! However, I am (like last year) doing the Get Fit challenge through the YMCA. One of the goals of the challenge is to collect bonus points through different nutrition challenges and events. So, tonight there was a fitness test worth 250 points. It was 17 (?) stations where you completed different exercises (burpees, push ups, jumping jacks, shuttle run, etc.) for 1 minutes and counted how many you could do. So, I did that. Then did just 30 minutes (2 miles) on the track and called it a night.
Tues 2/19: For the first time in a while, I brought work home with me. GASP! I try to never do that! I already stay an hour late just about every night, what more could they ask! But, tis the season of paperwork. So, I skipped Pilates to write an IEP!
Wed 2/20: Remember I said life really got in the way this week? Yeah, this morning my hubby ended up in the ER with severe stomach pains. We still don't know exactly what from and are still, as I write this, trying to get them to go completely away. Needless to say, heading off to the Y just wasn't an option!
Thurs 2/21: Chad was home sick again today, and wouldn't you know as I was thinking about getting supper going, I was also peeling an orange for Ava. She happened to then put an orange seed up her nose! Considering my finger doesn't fit in her nose, she couldn't blow it out, and Chad wouldn't let me take a tweezers to try and get it out, off to the clinic we went! :( They were nice enough to pull it out without making us wait, and so, we were home quicker than expected! Despite everything going on, and because of it!, I told Chad I needed to go to Pilates! And so, I did.
Fri 2/22: After a week like that I also needed to keep my Friday rest!
Sat 2/23: There was enough going on our house and enough negative attitudes, that I didn't get to the Y this day either. I think Chad was struggling with having been cooped up, so he went out just to run a few errands and get out of the house. I played with Ava and the later into the day it got, the more I didn't care!
Sun 2/24: Wanting to end on a good note, I made it to Pilates and also ran 3.1 miles. I am glad running is getting to be a consistent part of my routine again. I am frustrated that I can't seem to find my pace. Just trying to trust in the process again.
And that's that. Life won this week, but it wasn't all bad.
