Fitness Friday (6.8.12)

Oh my… this week.  I’m having a rough time wrapping my mind around the fact that it is already Friday!  I had a lot of deadlines for my work and stress in this house has been high.  Not the best way to be diving into my second week of my workout plans, but we are making it.  I didn’t really have the energy to do my second workout last night, but there was a sudden influx of energy midafternoon during which time I agreed to attend class.

As I mentioned last week, I’m supposed to do 2-a-days on Tuesday and Thursday, but due to scheduling I may have to switch up those days.  I was a little wimpy during my workouts on Tuesday.  Ok.  Super wimpy.  Thursday morning’s class wasn’t awful, but Brooke challenged us me at the night class, so today, I’m gratefully sore.

I learned this week

  1. If I’m going to run, I really, really need company.  I need someone to keep me from crying.  Well, at least hand me tissues until I’m comfortable enough running that I don’t dread the first mile.  Last night, my running partner was a 9 year old who was more than happy to cheer me on.  Tomorrow, my running partner is also coming off an injury so we’ll be supporting each other.
  2. I also run/exercise far better with music.  I need to figure out my play list tonight once the kids are in bed and then actually transfer the music.  My phone has all kinds of gadgets, I just need to learn how to use them.
  3. I really should get new batteries for my watch.  Actually, I should find that watch first…
As far as my positivity progress, I was doing great until yesterday.  Really.  I only had 3 pennies in my jar from the whole week, but by the time I went to bed last night, there were 21.  But that’s ok.  As long as I learn from my mistakes and keep working toward improvement, then almost a quarter worth of negativity isn’t awful.  Next week, we shoot for a better mindset on Thursday night.
Also next week, we shoot for actual posts on this blog.  Heh.  Wish me luck with organization this weekend!
