Whelp after a week where I skipped every workout I planned to do, I actually accomplished something last week. My workout schedule, at least running, is dependent on my mom's work schedule, since I'm unable to run near her house.
The week had it's highs and lows. I got off to a good start last week, I hit the bike trail for a 4 mile run on Monday. Now I probably could have picked a better time to run, instead of the middle of the day when it's 90* but it was my only opportunity to use the car so I ran. I had to stop frequently but I got my run done! Tuesday I headed to the gym for cross training and got in 15 miles on the bike. I love my time on the bike because that is when I get to watch The Clone Wars! Although at the same time I am anxious to get my bike fixed so I can ride outside on the bike trail. I was also planning on doing TRX on Tuesday but the room was being used for a workout class so I adjusted my schedule.
Wednesday was the day that I met with my case manager (for the depression) and when the weather is nice we walk on the bike trail while we talk.I walked a mile with her and then had her drop me off at the gym so I could do my missed TRX workout. I adjusted my TRX workout this week after being in so much pain after the last time I had done the workout. Instead of doing all the reps I limited my reps this time. After the gym I walked home, which put me at about 2.5 miles for the day and I planned on doing a short run that night after my mom got home from work, however the weather had other plans. Thursday morning I had an appointment so I hit the gym for cross training and TRX again. I did legs and again only did limited reps. Normally I do my cardio then TRX but decided to mix things up and do TRX first since the room was empty. Ooh boy! I haven't done legs using TRX in forever but I felt pretty good. And then I attempted to climb onto the stairmill...oof...my legs almost collapsed lol. It was at that moment that I decided to just to 10 min. on the stairs instead of 15. And I worked for every single one of those minutes! I then got in 15 min on the elliptical before walking home. So again another day.
And that's when things went off the rails, Thursday was supposed to be a rest day followed by workouts Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Unfortunately Friday the workout didn't happen and then neither did Saturday or Sunday. Once Friday didn't happen I couldn't figure out which day I wanted to run, so no run happened (this is why I need a trainer). Let's hope for better things this week!!
