I'm having a very cranky day.
Got home last night and managed an entire 10 minutes of relaxing before my power went out. So I took advantage of the natural light as best I could to read, and then I went to bed at 8:45. And I'm just generally feeling sluggish this morning, probably because I haven't had any real excercise since Thursday. This morning I bought my first cup of coffee in a month, and I then ate half a scone. Wasn't even that good. I threw the other half away, so that it doesn't tempt me come 3pm this afternoon when my blood sugar drops and I need a snack.
I had the good sense to pack my workout bag this morning, though. I know that the only way to get out of this funk is to get to the gym. I have a better overall emotional balance when I'm excersicing, and I hope to get some adrenaline going later on and snap out of this really cranky day.
Kel, consider my post yesterday, where I said the challenge sounds like it's going to "suck" an early journal entry. Because all I could think at that moment was how much I do not want to carry an extra 65 lbs around for a mile. Most days I carry up to 10 lbs of stuff (between my workout bag and my bag that carries my day-to-day work stuff) to and from the office and often my shoulder is killing me. I don't know how Fitzer is going to carry that duffel bag for a mile, but then Fitzer has some sort of genetic predisposition towards physical challenges. I'm more of a do-what-feels-good-but-don't-push-myself-too-hard kinda gal.
Anyways, I didn't get a chance after work yesterday to experiment (stupid blackout!) but I will. I'm thinking I'll take hubby's backpack that is not in storage and put a bunch of stuff (an assortment of books, cans, and t-shirts, I'm thinking) in there. I can slap on a pedometer and go for a brisk walk around the neighborhood. I doubt I'll run, but I can go up some hills and finish it off with 15 flights of stairs.
How bad is it that it's only 11 and I just want to go back to bed?
