Things I learned this week:
Did you know your eyelids can sweat?! I did not know that and now I do.
I’m slightly upset. Since I did Thursdays workout at 1am – the little circle on Thursday isn’t filled in. So it looks like I only worked out 6 days, but I did all 7!!
This week was nice! I’m learning what days are easiest for me to get my workout in and what days I need a little help. I learned that Thursdays for example are not ideal. I get off late on Wednesday nights and sleep in on Thursdays leaving me a very small amount of time to work out. If I have anything else to take care of like I did this week, that takes away even more of my time. When I request my new training plan Thursdays will definitely not be an option.
Also, I think I’m going to keep the 21-day fix yoga as part of my routine when I start the new plan, even if it’s just once a week. I’ve been so sore all week but those stretches really made everything feel like new (just in time for another week.) I think it’s by far the best yoga routine I’ve done. I think the extra stretches on the calf will help with the planter fasciitis.
I think next week is going to be the hardest. This week was fairly easy. I had moments when I didn’t want to work out on some days, but I was able to tell myself “It’s just 30 mins!” and get over it fairly easily. This week, I know exactly how hard those 30 mins are going to be, so I think it’ll be more of a mental battle this week. Wish me luck!!
I ended up buying the 21-day fix nutrition program. It’ll be here in 5-7 business days, so I’m excited to get going with that. It’s called portion fix.
I’m starting to miss running. I’m really enjoying 21 day fix, but at the end of the day, it’s not my sport. This is good! That was kind of the whole point of taking a break. I’m not going to lie though, 30 mins in a nice air conditioned room… It has its advantages.
Lord of the rings –
I can’t really listen to it while I do the workouts. I kind of need to hear what Autumn is saying, but I figure 30 mins of working out is equivalent to listening to 30 mins of the book later. I still have an hour banked, but I’m not really getting into it. Also having a bit of a hard time focusing on it and following. Right now Smeagol is helping Bilbo across some lake. I wasn’t paying attention so I’m not 100% sure what happened to Thorin or the rest of the dwarves.. I’m not going to give up on it yet, I’ve hear it starts slow. Will keep you posted.
