It is Friday and I could not be more thrilled that the work week is finally over. Not sure why, but, I have felt totally off my game this week. The weather has been very dark and stormy most of the week – which, on the one hand, was good because we desperately needed some rain. But, on the other, it kind of sucked because the evening bike rides I have gotten used to taking after work got impacted.
This was also the first week in probably 2.5+ years (minus vacation time) that I did not have a standing Tues./Thurs. appointment with my trainer. Tom left town last weekend for St. Louis and we (Danny was also one of his clients) decided not to continue working out with another trainer. Perhaps I was more dependant on those workout sessions than I thought. They forced me to get up from my computer at work and go pound out some heavy lifting and cardio. I need to be better about holding myself accountable – that built in stress relief is (apparently) very necessary in helping me stay positive.
I was supposed to go to Charlotte this weekend to hang out with some friends. When it became obvious on Wednesday that was not going to happen, I became moodier than before. Not sure why I continue to try and schedule out of town trips during my busy season – they never work out. I am hoping to perhaps head to the CLT sometime in August instead (very sad that Kristi will be back in Vegas by then, but, Sam and Doug will be there).
On the upside, the weekend is here! We have plans to spend some time on the bikes tomorrow morning (before it gets hot/rainy/muggy/etc) and then go to the produce market. I am going to try and soak up as much relaxation as possible before next week.
(Totally gratuitous picture of Gracie because it makes me smile and she is also happy that the weekend is here!)
