After my "long" 6.5 miles on Sunday, I decided to take Monday off...was gonna go to yoga, but didn't. Then today I had all intentions of running about 4 miles...but then I just decided not to.
I kinda regret it.
But I kinda needed to be in vegetation mode. Plus I got to make a really delicious split pea soup that took a whole bunch of time to cook.
Tomorrow I am going into work early, which could still mean a run in the morning if I had a treadmill (which I don't) or if I didn't mind running in the dark (which I do)--sooo...no run for me until tomorrow afternoon/evening. I may have to go to that "gym" (basement fitness center of landlord's other building downtown). But all I really wanna do is cook stuff for Thursday and pack for Detroit (where we're going for TG).
In fact, all I EVER wanna do these days is cook and eat. And wear sweats. This is sounding too familiar! The all-too common winter hibernation mode, complete with a 10-pound weight gain. I don't want to do this again, but there's something about these months that makes me tired, lazy, and hungry!!!! Aaaaughhhh!
As I write this I am eating from a box of...
Ah sweats, yes they are my pants of choice, or at least yoga pants are these days. Have a great Thanksgiving!
ReplyDeleteTry not to beat yourself up. It's tough working out during the Holiday season becuase we all just have THAT much more to do and getting ready for. I always have a modified running schedule during the Holidays and just decide that's the way it is.
ReplyDeleteAs for "hybernation mode". I think it's normal...it's cold, all you want to do is curl up and be lazy. Just try to hang in there and get as many "normal" workouts as possible. I think if you at least do the workouts you won't need to worry about the weight gain...IMO.
Hope you have a very Happy Thanksgiving and safe travels! :)
Thanks guys! I am trying to stay positive. Once again, today I seemed to run out of time. I guess it's ok because I always go out of my way to make time for it. I will try to take it all in stride - so to speak! Haha. Happy Thanksgiving to you. :)
