Oh Crap

Did you ever know a girl that gets distracted easily and then gets focussed on that new thing and forgets about the other thing that she is supposed to be doing?

Yes, yes you do. Its me! Oops!

So I went for my run on Saturday and on the way I saw an Open House sign in a different neighborhood and ever since then I've been totally distracted and obsessed with pondering making a move out of our little house.

Now it is Thursday and I have not worked out since. (also was sick from Sunday 'til now and am still kinda sick).

Anyways... So much for my wonderful statistics. Can you say Bozo? I even accidentally stood up one of my friends because I completely forgot that we were going to meet up for a swim and instead I went and viewed 2 houses that night.

Sorry sorry sorry.

Signed,

Distracted.

PS. It might get worse if we actually take a leap. Scary prospect for me (Change? No thank you!) but it might be worth it in the end.

Wednesday.

Wednesday: 3K run after work

So stats for the month are now:

Days worked out: 7
Total workouts: 9
Total hours: 6.5
Runs: 5, Strength: 2, Bike: 2

Monday

OK. So I did count the bike ride as a workout on Saturday because I was moving for over an hour and at some points during the ride my quads were ouchy. Yay for inclines!

Sunday: rest (if you call getting up at 6am to take your kid to hockey rest while your husband is away chilling for a week with his brother - "rest". he comes home tomorrow *phewsh*)

Monday: 3km run in morning. 1 hour personal training in afternoon.

So stats for the month are now:

Days worked out: 6
Total workouts: 8
Total hours: 6
Runs: 4, Strength: 2, Bike: 2

Not too shabby!

Thurs & Fri

Thursday and Friday - ran 3K both days. Not a fan of back to back but husband is away and I am low on childcare opportunities therefore I got it done while they were at school instead of the preferred time of one day off from running before running again.

Today (Saturday) I am going to bike outdoors pulling the 46pounder on the trail-a-bike. Depending on how that goes (ie. depends on # of hissy fits by offspring, distance, time etc.) it may or may not qualify as a workout. I'll report on that later. If it doesn't count then I will have to resort to ye olde ellipticale. Hopefully it won't come to that.

10 days in a row Done

Now that was painful! Not physically, just really annoying. I won't be doing that again any time soon.

Now for March.

Goal: 23 days with a workout in it (essentially 5 days a week. not making a number of hours goal because that would lead to junk workouts just to fill in or else it could lead to failure which I don't need).

This is not going to be a snap. That leaves only 2 days a week to end up at 10pm going "Crap, I have not worked out yet!".

Really! Working out after 10pm is just plain annoying. I am not a vampire people!

Once I achieve March's goal I will consider other goal like a certain number of strength workouts in a month etc. No need to go all crazy and do it all in one month.

It is 10 to 9 in the morning on Monday. My run clothes are on. One kid left to drop off and I have personal training later. By running now I won't have to run on the trainer's treadmill. Ha!

Do you have any goals for March?
