Not keeping up with the logs much on here, but a lot is the same these days. Despite my poor diet (read, too many snacks), my strength is still there. I need to stop using this huge move as my excuse for snacking; some slack is fine, but its been too much lately. Anyway, here's yesterday's (8.24) workout.

“Learning to let go should be learned before learning to get. Life should be touched, not strangled. You've got to relax, let it happen at times, and at others move forward with it. It's like boats. You keep your motor on so you can steer with the current. And when you hear the sound of the waterfall coming nearer and nearer, tidy up the boat, put on your best tie and hat, and smoke a cigar right up till the moment you go over. That's a triumph.” -Ray Bradbury

#workout #I love push ups

Thoughts, thoughts, thoughts...

Back on the ball...food intake went to shit for the last week & I feel it in all the wrong ways. Realize that I've been doing some of that emotional/stress eating thing and add traveling to that, and well, I suck. These last few months food has been the big struggle; counting calories didn't really do much for me and I disliked the app I was using. Trying to find my log-in info for the other tracker I was using.

Tonight at the gym will hurt, but I can't wait. When J & I are away, we've done really well getting our gym workouts in. Being in someone else's home, with jam packed days, I found it difficult and its where the fact that I don't do morning workouts bites me in the ass. I did morning push-ups, but they hurt. Bracing for the next 5 weeks, I'll HAVE to get the eating in line because planning and executing a move across the country will take priority. I'm not particularly happy with all my parts, but with just a little more focus, and I should be okay. It is certainly easier to keep diet and workouts on point when everything else in life is quiet. This will be a new challenge, but one I want to take on.

Talking to my job about the move is the next big weight to move. I have a supervision meeting with my boss Friday, but part of me wants to just schedule a 30 minute meeting today and get it done with. I'm scared actually. A lot of this move is on the basis that I will have the ability to work remote, at least for a short period of time. If I talk to the boss today, it would give her some time to talk to others before the end of the week. I'm nervous. I like my job a lot, but this move is more important. Maybe I'll just do it today, would feel better getting that ball rolling. But its nerve wracking. Guess I'll figure this out soon enough.

7/23/14 Pre-California HIIT

J came home today and I had to pack, so kept tonight's workout short & pain filled...
