Training and Yoga

I went to personal trainer last night and it was good. Then I went to Yoga. Last week went to trainer, yoga and cycling. This week I just didn’t feel like going to cycling. I didn’t want to be at the Y so late at night. This week has been really stressful with work and my parents. My mom is going for a colonoscopy today, my father needs surgery, a splint, for his kidney. I have blood that needs to be seen and the last two times it didn’t come back favorable…it showed my liver count elevated. I started to incorporate wine into my diet. The last couple of nights I’ve been having a glass before bed. It’s good. It helps me relax and I sleep through the night without waking up several times. I feel more rested in the morning. Trainer said she’d rather have me drink wine than eat peanut butter…so I’m drinking my calories now. It’s all good.

I need to cycle or run tonight. I have to do some kind of cardio. I should go right after work and get it done and then go grocery shopping. Instead of going grocery shopping first and then go to exercise. I know if I do the later I’ll not want to go exercise later on the evening. Yep, go right after work then grocery shopping.

Gotta go friends…work calls. I’ll talk to you all later. Have an awesome day!

Working out by myself

Tonight I worked out by myself. It’s hard to get to the Y when I know I’m doing it alone but I pushed myself and did it. I went to cycling and then I did my weight work. It went well. I always get anxious in the wellness center (weightroom) but I am doing it anyway. I know what I’m doing I just need to do it and trust myself. I’m so grateful that I got it done. Tomorrow will be a light day maybe running and then coming home to relax, or cycling. Cycling has turned into my new addiction…I’ve been going almost every day. It gives me a break from running.

5k

Ran my first official 5k this weekend. My time and place are posted…I am happy with what I did. 150 people…I came in 66th place. :) I’m good with it! I didn’t stop once, I ran the whole thing. I came in at 29.3 mins. I met my goal of the year to run a 5k within 30 mins. I am so good…lol. I remember the time I couldn’t run 3 minutes straight without panting like a dog…now I run 5ks!!!!!!!!
