Rest Week

Changed my workout schedule around and made this my rest week since it will be a short and compact week because of the holiday and I am going to the beach for the weekend! Happy 4th!

This week will be a different rest week for me. I am trying to get my workouts in but I think I am not going to lift weights this week and start again next week with a new plan. I have 9 weeks to IM Louisville. Starting Monday, I must refocus as this week I feel a little overtrained because I really do not want to do anything. I rode today and my HR was extremely high and I had a hard time with my regular Tuesday ride. I did not even want to ride my bike. All signs of overtraining...the answer is a little more rest. Plan tomorrow is swim, teach 2 spin classes and try to squeeze in a run. Thursday is a long brick and headed to the beach. One day I am going to run and another a leisurely ride.

So disappointed with my weight and eating patterns. The scale is not moving and I know it is because of my eating habits. Trying to do some stuff to change these things. I would like to be down to 135 for IM Louisville. Can I do 9 pounds in 9 weeks? Yes, but I must change several things...first of all, emotional eating or eating when I am bored!

Yesterday, I read quote on a car that said "Do something every day that scares you." Another Eleanor Roosevelt quote that is great so I am determined to do that every day. Yesterday, it was getting back on terms with a co-worker after a fallout but to do this without saying sorry because I am not sorry for what I said. Today, it was going to UNCG to talk to 2 professors about getting my Ed.D. I am always so scared I am not smart enough or good enough so this was huge for me.

Next week, I will return to working out hard and trying to make the changes I need to be better, stronger, faster! I WILL PR at IM Louisville!

Some goals for July:
1) Lose 4 pounds.
2) Spend 20 hours in the yard.
3) Ride 1000 miles.
4) Do not miss more than two workouts a week.
