I should be asleep

angelakIt's 1AM. I'm awake because my sleep schedule was shifted all weekend. I rarely allow this to happen. I've been rested well all weekend, although the hours shifted. So tomorrow at work I am sure I'll need a latte in the morning.
For which I earned today. I haven't quite acquired my appetite ever since the party. No complaints. I ran today, and for the first time in a while - I felt balanced through out the day. A few correlations:
-I did not over eat. I did not under eat.
-I DID exercise
-I spent the day with my parents
-Followed by socialization recently
-Also followed by an emotional outburst
-Also followed by strong support from the S/O
I'm not sure. Maybe the house tension is slowly dissipating. I'm not sure. Trying hard to commend my body for its strengths rather than its flaws. This journey of 2008 has been something else. I took for granted my confidence before this all. I took for granted my mobility, my ability to go out and do whatever the hell I wanted and as often as I wanted.
I am full of thoughts so I thought I'd write some down.
So, I slept in. Snuggled with the boys. Rufus has been especially cuddly all weekend and I've loved it. Rufus ... is that 12 year old dog that I can rarely stay mad at long. (He is also more and more prone to causing trouble as he ages.)
Went shopping with mom. Spent some money I might have saved, but... something felt good about buying me some stuff. It wasn't out of my bounds or anything. I've just been pretty tight fisted lately in preparation for my new lifestyle.
I bought some shoes that are cute and also seem to agree with my knee. Shoes that are not tennis shoes. It gets old only wearing tennis shoes. But I have been given to be super conscious about what shoes and knees get along ;)
These were like 50% off Sketchers with sparklies on them. I've allowed my tastes to shift as to colors, styles, and the like in the last 2 years of my life that I'll accept. And I am honestly loving it.
I guess this is what we do as humans. Shift and change constantly.
Bought some tights and nylons so that I can wear some skirts during the fall months. Somehow I never thought of doing this. But then I never had that many skirts before. Naturally they're only for off-days. Because work is impractical for non-pants.
I finally found a coin purse. I've been searching for like a month.
Nevermind lol!
It was cute!!!!
Yes. Consumer whored indeed.
I found a tray for my teaset ($5!!!! A deal.)
Needless to say the day was relaxing. Mom and I had dinner at Quiznos. It fit into her diet plan and mine as well. I was sated easily even though I had busted ass working out today.
And then on the drive home it occurred to me ... shifting my workout schedule during the week.
If I can manage, I'm going to try a M/W/F Run+CT in one day somehow. If I can make this work, it means I get more days off (recovery) AND it adds an extra workout per week.
And if I miss one or two of the secondary workouts... well, that's not so bad. (Preferably not drop below 5, so missing 1 per week would be better). Or I could do alternative workouts on “off” days if I really want, boosting my activity level just that tiny bit more. I figured it'd be worth a shot. So I circuit trained when I got home. This means I can take tomorrow off (Must, really – because I can only run every other day due to the tendons, and it is not wise to strength train muscles without recovery time either.)
SOOOOO, that means if I combine the 2 on the same day – instead of every day one or the other. It's worth trying. And if it just shifts my metabolism in any way that would be nice. We shall see if it flies.
I'd write more but I think I should try and make myself sleep. So I can get up to be at work at 7 tomorrow. The good news? I can sleep in a little because Tuesday has become an “off” day because I did Tuesdays workout TODAY!
N/m...
So on Wednesday, if I run and CT, it would give me my 4 of the usual 5 workouts out of the way. That means 3 days busting ass, and 4 off. Hmmm. A change might be nice? It may or may not fly, lol!!!
