I know, Christmas song and all, but it has been running through my head ALL week. It has been CHILLY!
Let's see...this week has been eventful!
Tuesday, we woke up to no power! I was off work but took E into day care anyway so I could get a few things done like groceries, etc. I also ran on the treadmill for 30 minutes. My Nike plus said it was 1.99 miles and the treadmill said it was 1.75 miles so I guess I ran/walked some distance around that. I felt pretty good. Then I picked the kid up and we had his 4 month pictures taken. Cutest baby ever, by the way :)
Side note: I only work out on the treadmill in of apartment gym and I need to get over that! BUT I am too nervous to go run on the sidewalk by our apartment. I realize I am a big baby but I'm just not there yet.
Then on Wednesday I dropped E off at the day care and drove to work an hour away. THEN I got work and had a phone call from the school saying they had no power and were sending all the kiddos home. Well, that is rather inconvenient for me! Luckily, D was closer so he took the day off and stayed home with him until the afternoon.
Thursday E actaully got to stay at day care ALL DAY LONG! Miracle! And then we found out the day care would be closed on Friday due to the weather. Luckily, I was already off!
Friday, D ended up not going to work so we had all had a snow (ice) day. We were super lazy but it was too cold to do anything.
As you can see, there was only one day of exercise :( I can just always find 100,000 reasons not to do it!
Any tips on motivating myself?
The only way I have really managed to stick with it is by following a training plan. If not, it is too easy for me to skip a workout.
ReplyDeleteI did skip a few runs this week because of the weather though, but managed to get in some cardio. Although, if I had a super cute baby I'm not sure I'd want to spend my time working out.
