Just in case you don't remember where the "Sometimes you feel like a nut....sometimes you don't" song came from, I Googled it for you (because I couldn't remember either!). Apparently it used to be part of a song for Almond Joy/Mound candy bars...don't worry, I didn't remember that either. Just the catchy one liner.
So I have skipped working out not once but TWICE in the past week.....GASP! And I feel pretty okay with it. I used to beat myself up about it and feel so guilty but now I have to tell myself that it is OKAY. Last Thursday was an emotionally exhausting day.... we are in the process of talking about some big life-changing events that may or may not come to fruition but just TALKING about them is stressing me out. I'm going to keep the details hidden for now since it's a lot of "what ifs" but just know that I am a sleep deprived, stressed out working mom who will yell or cry at the drop of a hat.
Yesterday I skipped my workout because I had to get up at 5:30 to have Lucas at daycare by 6:30 so I could go to a workshop 2 hours away...except the roads were glare ice and I saw 8 cars in the ditch so it took me 2.5 hours to get there. So by the time I got home and got Lucas to bed, I could barely get myself out of my own bed to shower, let alone tackle Level 2 of Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30..
Speaking of (yes this is a random post--this is how my brain is working today!)....Level 2 is NOT a joke. I thought Level 1 was difficult... HA. Now I know why I have never progressed to Level 2. The strength training and abs part are actually pretty decent if you aren't a wuss and use the appropriate level of weights (the second time I did it, I did grab my 5 pounders instead of my 3 pounders) but the CARDIO is crazy! She's screaming "push yourself, it's just starting to get tough!" and I've already collapsed on the floor. So it doesn't take much of a reason for me to skip doing it. But my best guy friend asked me to do a half marathon with him in June (he is going to train for a full marathon) so I have to carefully consider that and get my butt back into running one way or another...
And to end this on my random "things I want to blog about" list.... For those of you who think I am hard core with my budget, I just hired a cleaning lady today. It is going to make my marriage a lot more stress-free because I won't be nagging my husband to get the house cleaned and I'm going to be happier because I don't have to worry about cleaning. So where is that money coming from because I still have my mind set on being dept free by April 2016? Well I will tell you... $20 from gas, $50 from food, $10 from home budget, and $20 from myself and Mike from our fun money for a grand total of $120 a month. Yes it means we won't be eating out EVER and yes it means less shopping for me, but it will be worth it.
And that's all I have for you tonight... sorry for the lack of pictures. I had Day 2 of yesterday's workshop so another long day which is my excuse for not walking around the house right now to snap corresponding pics.... love me or hate me... just keep reading!
