All the reasons to sleep in...

I'm exhausted these days. It could be the season change, or the end of an aggressive tri season, or the craziness at work. But I have been sleeping in and missing my workouts. Not a good combination as I think it affects my mood overall. I'm scared I've been distracted and depressed about my ex. I saw him this week driving and it was a like a sock in the stomach. I can't seem to get him off my mind.

I've made a few promises to myself. I'll get my workouts in. I'll make sure to schedule time for them. At work, I'll take my "lunch break" and go for a run. And I'll plan to leave at a decent time, especially to make it to the Yoga or Spin class-just cuz I don't have someone to spend time with, doesn't mean I should spend it at work. Besides, I'm hoping this schedule will get me focused on something other than my ex and how much I miss him.

I travel this week, so I'm committing to 3 days of workouts. I should be able to do that-sounds easy enough.

I will get serious about my nutrition. Cut back on the wine and watch what I eat. My commitment is one week-week by week. I leave for Saipan in November to visit my brother and his wife. I refuse to be the "fat sister". Plus, the turkey trot out there is brutal, so I'll need to get in shape!

So I've got a plan in place. I'll go to swim (despite how cold it might be), and take the yoga class. And, I'll go for a walk versus hole up in my apartment depressed about someone who didn't care enough.
