One of those days...

After yesterday afternoons grand finale I felt mega lost. I was so pissed at myself and cant even really describe the emotion I was experiencing because it was a new one. Neat, huh?

I decided more then ever I needed to get up and workout before work. I needed to be fresh, and on top of things. So I woke up at 4:50 and hopped on my treadmill at 5:00.  I was still out of it and was in the midst of my warm up when my ipad lost Internet. I restarted it, and it played again and I started running. About 5 minutes later it happened again. Well, I kept going without music (ugh) I think I was at a half a mile and ol' wild arms knocked off the emergency belt and my time and distance was erased. Um, boo.

At that point I was pissed. Instead of throwing in the towel or not working out to music (give me a break guys it was 5am I needed something to help pump me up) I climbed up into the attic to get a stereo system and set it up. By this time I killed 30 minutes of my workout. I knew I couldn't do everything I wanted but dang it I got up at 4:50 and I need a good, sweaty, hard run.

 

With funeral for a friend blaring in the background I ran on a 3 incline alternating a 15 minute pace to a 7:30. I finished my mile at 9:34. I really wanted to keep going but I also wanted to work on some other body parts. So I did 100 bicycle crunches.

In the picture below the extended leg was not low enough. In fact, it was way to high (for me). I like for my leg to hover over the ground- I feel a major difference doing it this way. If your curious, yes I have my husband take photos of me when I try new things out to ensure I have proper form.

My mans a champ!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I did only one set of 30 15 lbs. bent-over roll

 

Followed by 2x15 modified push ups. Hey, you have to start somewhere!

 

At that point I called it a morning. Warmed down by taking wild man Eddie (my dog) on a walk.

 

I was still feeling pretty frustrated with myself so I completely made myself up for work.

I may have felt bad emotionally, but I wanted to at least feel good about myself.

 

And then... I went to the bakery and I bought a ton of goodies for me my colleagues and I.

 

See that?

Its an apple fritter and it was longer then my pen. I ate the entire thing.

Major Noms.

 

My day may have gotten a little better after that.
