Good morning everyone, I hope you’re all having a great weekend! Today marks the last day in Tina’s Best Body Boot Camp, so I’m going to do a normal weekly post today, and then a full summary post near the end of the week. I just didn’t give myself enough time this morning for that!
Here are this week’s workouts:
Monday – Yoga sculpt class at Yoga Loft
Tuesday – REST (locked myself in my apartment until I finished my paper at 8pm…)
Wednesday – 3 mile run (!!!) plus upper body weights.
Thursday – I did a swim workout that my friend came up with for me. He swam in college so I figured I could trust his judgment. Turned out to be a lot of fun, although I realized how much I need a swim cap!
Friday – Rest. Bad day. Serious funk. Not going to lie: binged. Felt awful. Didn’t workout.
Saturday – FOUR MILE RUN!!!! That’s the furthest I’ve run since my injury! Not the most fun run ever since 1) I was watching the news the whole time and 2) I had to run/walk and stop for stretching. But still, it makes me want to go run every single day, which I’m resisting… Ah I just want to RUN!
Sunday – Undecided. I’ll probably head to the gym in an hour when it opens for some lower body weights since I skipped those Friday.
Here’s my plan for next week:
I’m keeping Thursday and Friday pretty tentative since those are very busy days for me: I have a take-home final due Wednesday at 5:30pm, a final Thursday at 1:15pm and a final Friday at 6:00pm. All while cleaning up my apartment and packing for my month away… It’s giving me anxiety just thinking about it.
Deep breaths. I’ve really let my anxiety get the best of me this past week and I refuse to let it do the same this week. My body and mind are feeling the affects of a really bad week, so I need to pull it together and stay focused and remember that it’s just one week. It won’t kill me, just have faith that I can do it and life will go on.
But you know what this past week made me realize? My weeks used to be like this EVERY week. Everyday I had anxiety, everyday was a struggle. I am so grateful that I’ve gotten to a place where this is a rare occurrence, it makes me appreciate how much I’ve changed.
How do you deal with anxiety?
Did you have a particularly great workout this past week?
