What a week
>> Wednesday, October 28, 2009
This has been one of those weeks already and it's only Wednesday! Not a bad week, by any means, just CRAZY busy. I realize that weeks like these are when I love working out. It really is my wind-down time, my time just for me, to leave any frustrations at the door, etc. It helps tremendously!
Today I have my annual review at work. I'm expecting it to go well but you never really know. Even if I've had great feedback all year, I always get nervous before my annual review. The company I work for is BIG on feedback and growing their employees, which I absolutely love, but from the employee perspective, that means you learn really quick how to take constructive criticism. It's coming whether you like it or not, so you might as well learn to deal with it.
This morning's WOD looked easy on paper:
4 rounds of 150 feet lunges and 50 sit-ups.
Then I realized, that's a lot of lunges and 200 sit-ups! Yikes!
I measured out 150 feet then started the clock. I ended up doing 46-48 lunges (depending on how far I lunged) each round. So I did almost 200 lunges and exactly 200 sit-ups this morning.
I am very sure I won't be able to walk tomorrow or Friday! This is the week of sit-ups--- 3 days of sit-ups: Monday I did 150, today I did 200, and Saturday's "tabata" workout usually has around 100!
With all these ab exercises I'd say I should have a 6-pack any day now, but with the way I've been eating, that's not going to happen. First, there was my peanut-butter-filled-pretzel disaster on Monday, yesterday I was on the road for work all day so we ended up eating out, and today is my review so we'll be eating out again for lunch.
Yet another reason why I'm glad I workout regularly.
On the financial front, I transferred $2,850 to our EMERGENCY FUND today! This marks a special day because we're officially MORE THAN HALF WAY TO OUR GOAL!
EMERGENCY FUND SO FAR = $6,480
50.4%
Yes, I'm counting that .4% gosh darn it!

I love reading your blog every morning. It's always super inspiring. You've got such a great head on your shoulders and such an amazing attitude about life. I love that you work hard for what you want and that you're proud of the life you lead and want to share it with others. It makes me happy to share in your accomplishments.
That is A LOT of lunges. I don't think I would have been able to walk out the gym.
Good luck with your annual review! And, congrats on already being 50% of the way there on your emergency fund!
.4% rocks! You're doing great!
I see you are doing enough exercise for the both of us (so, today I won't even think about lifting a finger - lol).
Congrats on the progress of the EF. I need to take suite because ours in under par.
And you'll do great at the annual review. Least they use 'constructive' critism. :)
Wow, great job on the EF! I'm still working on my 1st $1000 one...I'm hoping to have it in place by the end of the year, but we'll see!
