You are not hallucinating, there is no need to adjust the resolution on your screen, this is in fact an actual blog post. Let me recap what has been going on the last month.
1. So much for all the BS is said about making time. It's hard, really really super hard to make and find time. It's not BS at all actually but I have now had to deal with several outside influences that have changed my priorities these last few months. Having a baby will tend to do that to you...
2. Fear not! I have been working out and eating well in my time of absence. Except on the weekends. I have been able to make it to class twice a week with a goal of working out on the weekends as well. I am batting a solid .500 since not one single weekend workout has occurred. Yet! Hila and I are doing the every other day thing where I get Mondays and Wednesdays and she gets Tuesdays and Thursdays. That is our time to fit in the best most killer workout possible. For me that means getting to class a bit early and trying to get in a few miles beforehand. Seems to be working out nicely so far. I clocked 8 miles just last week.
3. Army 10 miler - Number 3 is on the books. One of the things I have been doing is running again. At least once a week and somewhere between 4.5 and 5 miles. I seriously love running Burke Lake. It has not been too hot the past few weeks and I have actually had the pleasure of getting in a few rain runs. There is just something about running in the rain.
4. One of the reasons my time has become less available is because, actually let me back up first. A few long term goals in my life have been:
a) marry the most beautiful woman on earth - CHECK
b) have the most beautiful baby on earth - CHECK
c) have a sandwich named after me - CHECK
d) have an assistant - CHECK
Note d) is what I would like to expand on. Yes, I now have an actual assistant. As a matter of fact right now I am dictating these words as he is typing them, no not really, but I could if I wanted to dammit. Needless to say I have spent a substantial amount of time getting him up to speed on all the wonder that is me. I feel like this has been a great accomplishment for me in business and I am quite proud of this. Since we are finally getting to a place where I am spending less time teaching him how to do things like me, I am able to free up a few minutes a day to just do my own things. Hence, writing aforementioned blog post.
5. This has been a rough year for me working out wise. Injuries, more injuries and having a baby. I finally feel like I am getting back on track a bit and am starting to feel like the old me. I can run a bit faster, I can push a bit harder, a few more weeks and hope to be setting the pace again in class. Now, my goal for June is an ab working going around on Facebook. I am very excited about trying something new and setting and achieving another goal. I have based much of my life on goals. There is even a sign in our office that says "If you have a goal, failure is impossible". How very true that is. You can always keep trying to succeed. So my goal for June is a 30 Day Ab Challenge. The first couple of days look easy but I am sure the last few days will be anything but. Regardless I will do this and I will succeed.
Fingers crossed for finding and keeping time to keep writing. I have missed you friends but I will be back soon. For some strange reason we have decided to take on the task of trying to travel with a newborn...yeayyyy us. So we are off to to the windy city for the weekend, so I doubt I will break my no-workout-weekend streak but there is a chance. We shall see.
Good to be back people, good to be back!
