I feel the pressure of having a number of blog posts I want to write, about a varying number of topics. I know that once I write each one I will be so happy I did. That’s how I always feel after publishing a post I was procrastinating on. I know I don’t need to make excuses because whatever, it’s just my blog and no one cares, right? Well a couple of companies care because the posts are semi for them. One sent me workout clothes I would like to discuss and the other had a nice phone call with me about a nice service I think is worth sharing. And one is Refine!
But work has been extra worky. Wedding planning has been wedding planning. I just want to skip to the part where I have a new last name and am on a beach.
And working out has been what it is given my neck isn’t doing as well as I hoped it would by now. It got a lot better really quickly initially and then I stupidly went back to teaching spin a couple of weeks ago and it brought me right back to square one (and now I know that spinning is likely a huge contributor) and my progress hasn’t been nearly as good this time around.
Not everything is terrible.
Larry has a girlfriend.
They see each other all the time and are in love.
My wedding is in just over a month. I can still do Refine…ish. I have to modify the entire class and turn it into a much easier, more pleasant class that doesn’t make me fear spontaneous death. And maybe I shouldn’t even be doing that but after my two week break, a month out from the wedding, I just won’t not go. Especially after I worked so hard during the Resolution Challenge which I WILL recap because it was the greatest workout experience I’ve had in a very long time.
Oh! Did I mention I am mildly buzzed and thus there is an excuse for my ramblings? I’m in an airport in PDX and on my second flight, the mini one from Seattle on a loud tiny plane, they gave out free wine. Being not-24, I can’t really drink anymore, and so I am slightly drunk.
Just one of the gang
I did work out this week and here’s how it went. ALSO I feel like I should, like, go on the elliptical or something? Maybe the one without arms? Get in a low-impact workout that won’t fuck up my neck even worse that also won’t require much of me mentally? I don’t know if I can handle the boredeom. TWT, kids. Time will tell.
MY DOG IS IN DAYCARE AND BEING BOARDED AND I MISS HIM AND LOVE HIM.

Are you injured? How much does it suck? How much do you love cheese because I was at the Seattle airport and they have a Beecher’s there so I bought a bunch of cheese.

May 1, 2013 at 4:38 pm (12 years ago)Yes!! Injuries fucking suck suck suck!! I feel your pain girl!! I got a stres fracture on my right ankle about 6 months ago and it is STILL healing. For me–I had been doing way too much high impact Burpee type workouts and kickbox workouts like turbo fire along with high intensity treadmill sprint workouts. My body just had it!!
For the last several months I’ve been trying to retrain my body and do what feels good rather than push so hard. I’ve been swimming, power walking, and doing low impact aerobic/dancey DVDs. It’s not always perfect but its something.
I’ve realized that its more important to be able to move your body daily and be able to still live–aka walk –which I couldn’t do after my stress fracture–rather than push soo hard for that one perfect hard core workout and then not be able to live. And in the end it backfires because then you have to take steps backward and can’t workout at all–which just reverses all progress.
Give your body time to heal. It will.
Elliptical sounds good. Just download a rocking playlist.
I’m always here if you want to vent.
Keep honoring your body!
You will heal–just give it time!!
And don’t compare yourself to other bloggers–that’s the worst!! If you need to dont even read daily mile if its just going to get you down!

May 8, 2013 at 10:53 pm (12 years ago)I know how you feel about the wedding planning. I am getting married June 22nd and we have pretty much everything planned. My fiance is stressed a little, but we are both just really excited for the honeymoon. We are planning on doing some yoga and running while we are there, but mostly relaxing, not too much working out.
