A girl in my office just completed her hours for becoming a certified yoga instructor. Since my office strives to be “super healthy” they are hiring her for classes in the office, for free! 4 days a week! Whats easier than getting up from your desk, changing and working out all in the same vicinity. Easy for me! I like.
Lots of pitches in the works, one of them being on Friday. Which means late nights and lots and lots of work. This time we’re even transforming our conference room completely. And who’s ideas did they choose? Mine. Ugh. Tomorrow I will be assembling then figuring out to hang 30 paper lanterns from an impossibly hard wood ceiling. As well as decorating. As well as doing creative work. As well as doing my other work.
On another note, I started the Hunger Games last night and now that is all I want to do. I want to curl up in bed and read!
Went to the gym last night again with Mike. The gym was soo packed and we even went late. Legit every cardio machine was taken. I always like to do my cardio first and get it out of the way and so my heart rate stays elevated through strength training. Welp, that didnt work out. Did some more squats, focused on triceps and chest. Lots of pushups too. My hopes were to go tonight but I don’t see that happening with this pitch going on.
Okay, I finally have time to post. So! I start my new job tomorrow, so I spent lots of time at the mall yesterday walking around buying clothes for the job. I got lots of stuff at Old Navy and H&M (two really cute dresses), lots of shorts and really nice linen pants at NY&CO. They were having a sale, buy one get one for $10 for all pants and shorts on top of a 15% off coupon they handed out at the door. So I got a nice pair of shorts there and the linen pants for $38. I hate how different all stores are with their sizes. I got shorts in size 4, 6 and 8 yesterday. WTF! So annoying. I think the 8 is hard to tell since it’s H&M and they’re a little different with their sizing.
So I had my first 5k today. Wow was it brutal. Mike’s brother runs a lot of 5ks, and said this was the hardest one he’s ever done. He also does crossfit, etc and said it was hard so I didn’t feel so bad doing so terribly. I did the 5k in 38 minutes. Sounds bad I know, but there was this hill. Let me tell you about this hill. I’m posting a picture of it, but the picture does it no justice. It was the most brutal thing and the second I saw it I said screw that I’m walking it. So I did. it kept wrapping up and around, so it probably took me about 5 minutes to walk up it. I have never ran it outside, and what a difference. I think I’m going to just run outside from now on. Feels like such a better workout. My ankle is super sore, so I think it’s time to go see a physical therapist and learn how to strengthen it like I should have 6 months ago.
I don’t even want to get into what I have been eating the past few days since I’ve been off of work. Like shit. That’s all I can say, because I am ashamed. Back into the grind tomorrow, and lots of salads this week. I’m too intimidated to bring in my lunch, so I’m going to go to the salad place around the corner. The same place I went to at my old job because it’s that close to each other.
