Interrupted
My Life Thus Far
One Tough Lady
Another relaxing day :) I'm a little sad that my two days off are already over, but they were good and greatly appreciated.
This morning I checked my e-mail only to find ANOTHER email from Jose. He's scheduled another impromptu training from 4-5pm tomorrow. It's getting to the point where I'm almost scared to check my email these days! There's always something work-related in there. Later in the day I got an email from my director at Bremerton informing me of a meeting on ActivTrax (the new fitness program I've been getting so much training on at Haselwood). It conflicts with my work schedule, so I won't be able to go, but it's not like I need to. ActivTrax has been beaten into my head. Quite frankly, I'm sick of it and don't plan on using it. I'm capable of creating my own workouts. I don't need a computer program to tell me what to do. When it comes to technology, I find most of it unnecessary. I use my laptop, my cellphone and my mp3 player. I desire for nothing else.
I got in a killer workout today! I lifted heavy and long (about 90 minutes). I had nothing left when I left the gym and it felt AWESOME! I don't think I've workout out that hard in a good long while. I'll see how I'm feeling tomorrow. That will be the true test of how well I did :) I'm so glad Kerry (my personal trainer) convinced me to give weight-lifting a try, because I LOVE it. I kind of hate cardio now, which I never thought I'd say. I still do 15-20 minutes every day because it's good for me, but no more 2 hour treadmill sessions. Never again. It wasn't helping me reach my goals (of building muscle, getting leaner and stronger). I'm feeling like I'm making great progress now. I'm chest pressing and rowing in the triple-digits. NEVER did I see myself having that kind of upper body strength. I'm turning into one tough lady, if I do say so myself :)
Tomorrow's agenda is full. Gym, Keenan's therapy, Haselwood training AND a 5-9pm VS shift with a 9-10pm shift extension. It's going to be a long day. Nothing I can't handle, but I'd better get a good night's sleep. I think I'll take a nice, hot Epsom salt bath before I head off to bed. That should help me relax, because right now I'm not feeling at all tired...
