This is what my schedule felt like last week! It seemed like a raced through my days ticking off items from the never-ending To Do list – I swear it felt like the “busy elves” were adding items as fast as I was eliminating them. But I was managing to keep some sense of balance and still get some workout time in for myself.
That is….until this weekend. The combination of Christmas gift shopping, house decorating, holiday parties, snow/ice storm and helping my son with the sea turtle project from hell (OK I may be exaggerating a smidge but if I don’t hear about sea turtles for a while, I’m good with that!) all proved to be my un-doing! I missed my long run Saturday morning – I kept telling myself that I’d fit it in later…yeah well, didn’t happen. In fact, there was minimal working out of any kind.
And while I’m feeling less than fabulous this morning, I’m not going to beat myself up over it. Time to hit the re-set button and commit to a better…more balanced week!
So how was your weekend? Are you keeping up with your workouts/runs?
My weekend pretty much sucked. I had back problems and couldn’t do what I wanted. But that is in the past now. Time to move forward and carry on! 🙂
Oh Lisa that stinks! Hope your back is doing better now!
I think it’s so key to do just what you did–didn’t beat yourself up. You are committed year round, so a little miss here or there isn’t going to hurt you. Great balance!
My runs are suffering! I keep telling myself that’s ok since I’m not officially training for anything yet. They’re so ingrained though it’s hard to miss one! Plus there’s the crank factor. Hang in there!
Hope this week is better for you! That storm this weekend didn’t help matters I’m sure.
My weekend was pretty good. I worked out very thoroughly earlier in the week so I relaxed a lot!
I feel like I’m holding on to my sanity by a thread! So much to do, so little time … time to adjust my expectations!
