What a freakin' week I've had! Things have been out of this world insane.

1) My birthday - which is always stressful, but fun. I spent Thursday at the spa - ate a delicious lunch and chilled the heck out.

2) Upon returning to my car from the spa, I had missed calls and texts from no less than 4 of my coworkers. Turns out there was a major re-org. And of course, no one says this in their VMs or Txts. Naturally, I think there's been a RIF and I've been fired.

3) Find out on Friday - after stressing out for a whole day - that I'm one of the only people who wasn't re-orged and I get to stay with my same manager. But I'm totally freaked out for my friends.

4) On Saturday, I ran a 5K and then went to a memorial service for a wonderful friend who died in an avalanche the previous week. I balled like a baby - and didn't eat enough all day, because things were so busy. Then I had a wonderful birthday celebration dinner (didn't over eat) with my BFF - followed by martinis. Emotionally SPENT!

5) Sunday, I still don't get to rest and have to run 100 errands - making up for celebrating and being busy the rest of the week. And I did a double hot yoga session. Yes, 2 hours at 105-degrees. Loved it and hated it all at the same time.

6) CRASHED yesterday. Think I went to bed at 7:00.

7) Today, I hosted a virtual booth at a virtual trade show. Yeah, I didn't know they existed either until last week. The other people who were supposed to help me bailed and I built and hosted the entire event by myself (of course, I made sure my manager knew about it). If it wasn't for my awesome co-worker who sat at my computer for a couple of minutes - I would've peed in my pants.

Well, I'm hoping for a much less hectic week coming up. I didn't lose weight this week, but I'm pretty sure it's just because I ate sushi two days in a row and very, very salty foods. I'm sure as soon as I purge this water, I'll weigh a lot less.

And on the plus side, yesterday I ran 5 miles!!! It's my first time running that far since I hurt my ankle. YEAH ME!!!

17 April 2013

Well, it has been a rocky two days. I found out on Tuesday that my friend and naturopath was killed in an avalanche over the weekend. It has really thrown me for a loop. She was one of the kindest and beautiful souls I've ever met. Truly a healer.

I also took my MIL back to the airport yesterday. That was bittersweet. 5 days was maybe too long. Towards the end, we all started getting on each other's nerves. I worked from home yesterday afternoon and just loved the quiet of my house. No TV, just two sweet puppies trying to snuggle on top of my laptop. I really needed that.

Tomorrow is my 43rd birthday!!! I'm going to have another major chill out day. I'm going to the spa for pampering and lunch. Going to bring a great book to relax with. No one is allowed to go with me, it's just going to be me all by myself. And then Friday, Phil and I are going to go to Seattle to ride the Great Wheel. I've been wanting to do that since the durn thing opened, but now I get the chance. Totally stoked.

This week (thus far) is going good with regards to weight loss. Yesterday I took my first run since my soccer game (ankle started hurting again)and it was a good run. I used kinesio tape to tape up my Achilles. I think I'm going to also tape up for fasciitis as the bottom of my foot was a bit tender afterwards. The tape helped stabilize my ankle. I did a 3.5 mile loop around a park. I think that if I'm going to do longer runs, there's another loop I can easily add on that will take it another 2 miles. So, total loop would be about 5.5 miles. I'm joining another challenge to run a 10K.

And the sad thing is that I don't think I can play soccer until my ankle is fully healed. I thought it was, but with all that starting and stopping and twisting, I'm just not going to be able to play this season. Plus, I want to focus on running right now, which I love dearly. And running is pretty much free...

Retrospective on the week

I'm happy that I lost weight this week. It was very stressful. I gotta say that I'm happy that I changed my weigh-in day to Monday. I knew that it would be challenging mentally, but I know that it is the ONLY reason I'm staying on track during the weekends. Plus, I really, really, really want to lose this weight (again!).

For Week 2 of my April tracking challenge - thinks are going A-OK. And that's showing on the scale this week. I'm much more honest with myself, which is what really counts.

Today I start a 30-day yoga challenge at my yoga studio. 30 classes in 30 days. I'm going to do my best to NOT miss any days, but if I do miss I can always do a double-class. I love doing doubles on Saturdays. Actually, my secret goal is to do more than 30 classes in 30 days. And my personal exercise goal is to be able to do Extended Side Crow pose. Since I broke my little finger a couple of months ago, I've been horrible at crow pose, but I'm not only going to re-learn it, I'm going to exceed where I was before I injured my finger. My son, Noah, also signed up for the 30-day challenge. I'm going to do my best to force him to do it. Go Noah!

And my final goal for these 30 days is to get to 165 pounds by May 15. It's only 3.4 pounds, but this weight seems to be coming off slower than last time (another great reason to not put the weight on in the first/second/third place), so I think that's an attainable goal.
