I'm completely out of my routine. If you call what I do week in and week out a routine. Sure there are days that I don't go to the gym and right now I don't really stick to any plan, but man I'm really off course right now.
My kids have the whole week off from school this week. That can be a good thing and a bad thing. Yesterday I didn't work out. Today I only ran 6 miles on the treadmill. Tomorrow I can't work out as we have plans for most of the day. Thursday is Thanksgiving and we are either running a family 5k or if the weather comes as predicted there will be no 5k. If I don't do the 5k I'm supposed to go to the gym to swim. It's been, I think, a week since I've been in the pool. That's not a good thing. But who wants to get up at 6 get to the gym by 7, swim a few thousand meters then come home to start Thanksgiving day?? I'd much rather get up at 8 make some hot chocolate and sit with my kids and beg them to watch the Macy's day parade with me.
Maintaining my fitness for the next 5 weeks is going to be much harder than I thought. I struggled with the run this morning. Not sure why other than I was just not that into it. I should of gotten on the trainer for at least a 10 mile ride but that didn't happen. I can't even say that I was too busy this morning to get a longer workout done. I wasn't doing anything other than making my kids breakfast, getting them to help out with some chores and all of us getting showers. I'll spend the rest of the day having lunch with them. Maybe a few hands of 21, our new fun game to play, then to the orthodontist and for a treat Dairy Queen.
If you would ask my kids tonight at dinner was it a good day they would probably say yes. Dairy Queen will be the best part. So I'll keep that in mind the rest of the week. If the workouts aren't as tough, or shortened up a bit, or not done at all that's ok. As long as I see a small peanut butter blizard in my future and my kids are with me then it will be a good week.
