SSDD here. Nothing much going on at all.
My weight is down again to 129.6 by some miracle. I was shocked to see a number in the 120's. I hope it sticks. My appetite has seen a little bit of a surge but I don't think it is enough to knock me way over.
I started with the new group training on Tuesday. I am not a huge fan of working out this way, I much prefer one on one but I can't justify the cost difference. Small group training is $37/session for 8 sessions, private sessions are $71!! There were 5 of us in the group so she had 5 stations set up. I'm not sure I can remember what all she had us doing... We did 3 of each
monster walks with band
one leg squats on bosu ball
TRX---
one leg squats
back lunge
pulse squats
medicine ball squats
bosu push ups
fly on bosu
roman chair leg lifts
reverse fly on TRX
scissors
plank
I thought I was going to die, and honestly I half assed the first set pretty bad. At one point I felt pretty light headed and just wanted to go home. But, I sat down and collected myself for a few minutes, fought off tears and did what I could. Between that and my left knee giving me trouble, working out in a group of girls was the last thing I wanted to do. I would normally be very sore after that workout, but I know I didn't push myself like I normally do and my mind wasn't in the game. I have to remind myself that I don't want to waste the money and to just suck it up. I am supposed to go back tonight so wish me luck. I hope there are fewer people there so I can kind of tell her what's going on. Which would mean I need to figure out for myself what is going on. My heart rate was not nearly as high as normal and from how I felt that just seemed off. I have been more diligent about taking my medication, that is the only thing I can figure out that is different. Maybe that is messing with my endurance some?
The plank wasn't nearly as hard as it has been so I will take that as a minor victory. My knee has been hurting just getting up from a normal sitting position so I know that could be a real problem. I hope working out regularly will help strengthen it a little.
My mood has been pretty off lately too. I am really slow at work, to the point that I hate to come to work and try to look busy. The days seem to go on forever. I got the kindle app to download on my work computer, which really surprised me, and have been reading to try and look busy. I have been taking a day of leave each week just because I can't make myself get up and go in and try to figure out how to fill the day. Luckily I have 23 years so I have leave but after last year I hate to waste it, just in case something happens. I swear I am so exhausted when I leave, it is worse than when I am slammed. Things will hopefully change soon, they are going to do a few temp duty promotions for the spot left by our lead. I am sure some of the other planners will get the position and that will leave some work for me to do. Until then I am just trying to look busy without being on the internet or my cell phone. It is excruciating.
Bailey had to get his flu shot yesterday. He is up to 27 pounds and has sit and down mastered, we are still working on leash manners and leave it. I would say he has some separation anxiety, but I think that might be more me (more on that later). He is doing great at puppy kindergarten and at day care. He is gorgeous, with his shiny black hair, especially after being bald when I found him.
This was taken at dog school on Monday. Look at that focus!! We have totally abandoned crate training because he screams so bad and it really stresses out Marcy. So, we just don't leave him. I know this isn't practical but it is what we are doing for now. We have gone out to eat and left him out but not for more than an hour. After a day care day I am not too concerned about it because he comes home exhausted. But, keeping him in day care isn't going to work forever. We are going to have to figure something out before we run out of money, lol. They had a one day sale at his day care place today only where you can buy 10 full day sessions for $191.75. You could buy up to 3 (they expire in 90 days) but we only got 2. For the most part he goes 3 days a week so that will last him awhile. We have a very spoiled little man. We made the appointment to get him neutered 28 February and yes I am going to take off the day after to stay with him.
So the older I get the more agoraphobic tendencies I am developing. I don't know why but my dad's sisters have problems with it as well. I struggle to make myself get out of the house to do anything and now that I have Bailey to use as an excuse it is getting worse. The internet doesn't help because I can purchase almost everything I need online. I am usually fine once I get out of the house but I just don't seem to want to do anything. I have had tickets to see Kelly Clarkson in concert for months, the concert is tomorrow and I would give my ticket away at this point. The only thing keeping me from doing that is my friend Mark, who I have been friends with since college and is a huge fan. I wouldn't do that to him. I am listening to one of her playlists trying to get excited but it just isn't there. It has gotten to the point that even driving makes me nervous. I'm not sure what to do.
In other news, I bought a pair of these http://likeaglove.me/fitness/ and got them in the mail yesterday. They are supposed to match you up with jeans that will fit your shape and measurements. Luckily my top matches were very affordable American Eagle jeans in a size 8. I ordered a pair of the ones that they said would fit me the best and should get them in the mail tomorrow. I am curious to see how well it works. I really wanted an excuse to buy a pair of expensive jeans but the ones they listed were far down on the list of recommended brands, so AE it is. I can handle that. We will see how well these things work. I will put them on again in a month and see if there are any changes in my measurements. I am kind of excited to see how well the recommendations work out.
