Helen hit it right on the head yesterday when she mentioned cabin fever. If I remember back to this time last year, I felt the same way. However in the past, we have always planned a tropical holiday for about right now and this year we decided not to. I’m likely craving the beaches and warmth right about now. It explains the feeling of boredom.
Work is slow as well as we are waiting for a very large project to start up and in the mean time, I am "learning" all I can about this particular technology. Spending hours on the internet learning an application can be very boring.I never did go to Yoga yesterday – and talk about disappointed. Since I now have my own wheels, I’ve been driving downtown here to work and my co-worker who attends Yoga with me once in awhile also drives downtown. So on Tuesday we both agreed we were going to Yoga yesterday so I didn’t drive (why bring two vehicles). And then at 3:10 I went to her office and she wasn’t available due to some technical issue she was working on. Well by then it was too late for me to catch the train and walk to the studio. So I missed out and it put me in a pretty foul mood. Not that I can get foul but if I could, that’s how I felt J
Yesterday was a write off in my books.
And when I woke up today, it is obvious that my body is losing its war against this cold. The cold seems to be winning L
Now on to better things….
On Monday, I met with my new personal trainer at GoodLifeFitness and we arranged to meet 2x a week for the next 6 months and we are going to focus on strengthening my hips, core, endurance (for the Kidney March) and just generally build my strength up overall. She is rather junior at the gym but I like her personality and I feel comfortable with her. There is one personal trainer there who I would definitely not ever want. His arms are so big he looks funny in my eyes. He is just plain scary looking. Anyway, once I get going with her I guess I will have to stop doing the NRoL4W until I am done with the sessions with her. I don’t want to over train so need to work with what I have scheduled. This is what it is going to be my schedule starting March 1st:
Monday, Weds, Fri
4:30a Treadmill intervals4:00p Hot Yoga
Tuesday
4:30a Treadmill walk
6:00p 60 min PT Session
7:30p 60 min Zumba
Thursday
4:30a Treadmill walk
4:30p 60 min PT Session
Saturday
Home ST session
Walk outdoors as far and as long as possible.
Sunday
OFF
This week I have failed pretty good in the exercise department because of how I have been feeling (and company on the weekend) so I won’t be making my P10 goal of working out 5x per week. There are going to be these types of weeks every once in awhile and I just need to not feel guilty or upset about it.
I hope everyone has a fantastic day.

I believe guilt can set us further back than anything else. You're right to chalk it up to there just being weeks where our schedules don't go as planned - it's not a total derailment and you have a great new plan in place! Hope you feel better all the way around soon.
ReplyDeleteHandling the down time is hard.
ReplyDeleteTime to re*direct, eh?
Stay focused, Miss Sandra!
I meant to add a :D
ReplyDeleteBut I clicked too soon!
Hope your day goes well.
Wow, that's a pretty ambitious work out schedule - I am very impressed. Hope the cold stays at bay too - its hard to work out when you are sick!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like being sick has sapped your energy.... I hope you feel well fast, and get your spark back. Working with the trainer will help, too, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteFeel better,
Loretta
=^..^=
feel better..and I know what your talking about with the trainer and the arms...
ReplyDeletethere is this dude at my gym who has a freakishly small waist combined with freakishly huge shoulders.
scary.
I think we have to listen to our bodies when we aren't feeling well. Last night I did some very basic stretching and I think I am going to go for a gentle walk down to the harbor in a few minutes. You are still getting some good workouts in!
