No More Workout Breaks

With my crazy busy schedule last week, I didn’t have a chance to fit in any time for a workout (none at all)…and I’m paying for it now. I hit the gym yesterday and, shamefully, had to cut my workout in half because I was totally feeling the burn. And, yes, I truly enjoyed having to endure all the heckling that comes with shortening my workout (thanks, guys). Anyway, my core muscles were burning and I just couldn’t take anymore…and today those same muscles are really tight and pretty sore. Sure, it’s a good sore feeling, but still...this just after a week of being away from my regular workout routine is definitely not a good sign.

I’m certainly a routine based person…and when something throws off my routine, I take notice and it pulls me off track and throws everything off. Traveling out of town last minute and being crazy busy at work definitely counts as one of those times. But in this case, I don’t know what I could have done. I mean, I definitely wasn’t planning on being out of town last week or pulling some crazy long hours…but still, I would like to think that if it had been planned, I would’ve been able to schedule in some extra personal time to take care of stuff like that. But let that be a note to self for next time.

Anyway, I have to get myself back on track and work my ass off extra hard during the next couple of weeks. Not to say that my schedule will easily allow that since I’m going to be out of town a little bit here and there…but, I guess, now would be as good as time as any to work on scheduling that personal “me” time that I’ve been talking about.
