Thank you for the kind comments on yesterday’s blog post! I really needed them. I’m glad I finally wrote out my feelings and only wish I’d have done it sooner.
It might just be wishful thinking, but I am fairly certain that I am not quite as stuffy today. My voice still sounds funny since my throat is rough from coughing, but maybe, just maybe, I might be starting my comeback to relatively healthy instead of looking like an extra from The Walking Dead.
Yesterday I printed out a blank calendar for October and filled in my planned workout for each day. Now, before you get too impressed, it is basically the same workout from week #1 repeated through the entire month, but I made sure to alternate cardio and weight training days, and even added in a few ab days so I don’t conveniently accidentally-on-purpose leave those workouts out.
Tonight I won’t be able to work out because I’m heading to my stepson’s football game. I missed last week’s game because of work (thanks, work), so I am really excited about tonight and blowing what is left of my voice. No one will be able to understand what I’m saying, anyway. My voice sounds like I chewed on barbed wire as a snack.
My office is starting a wellness challenge that begins on Monday. We have to track our workout miles, and then we will add all our miles together on a map we will post in the kitchen, tracking our progress walking across the state. My competitiveness kicked in, and I want to rack up more miles than anyone else! We are counting actual miles from walking and running, and also converting workouts like aerobics to miles too, based on intensity and length of the workout.
And how awesome is it that the month of October starts on a Monday? New week, new month, all at the same time! It’s like the dieter’s starting-over hallelujah. It’s definitely a sign. Cue the angels singing and light beams shining down gloriously on October first! Toss the glitter and the confetti! Applaud wildly!
…or just write this off as the cold-medicine-induced ramblings of a semi-drugged woman with a raging fever.
Either way, Monday is the new start of all new starts, and it is going to be EPIC! 🙂 Who’s with me?
