Sleep. This is something that has been elusive to me for
years. My trouble is not falling asleep, it’s staying asleep. It’s also the
habit of getting up at the same time every single day; therefore this past week
5am has become the new 6am according to my body clock. It’s not so bad on
nights that I go to bed at 9am and sleep through the night, but considering I
don’t get home from work until past midnight three nights a week and staying asleep
is impossible, I’m dying here. Maybe if
I have a beer after work tonight it’ll knock me out solid for a good few hours.
Like I need an excuse to have a beer after work on a Thursday night, my last
shift of the week! :oP
I joined the gym around the corner from my house last Friday
so that I have somewhere to run when the weather turns nasty. While I would love
to belong to the brand new LA Fitness with the pool, I know that I need
something closer to home. I have no excuses not go when the gym is a 3 minute
walk away, so off to Snap Fitness I go. I’ve been there twice so far and still
have no idea how to use anything other than the treadmill. I’m sure that the
guy who showed me around took one look at me and could tell from my fit body
(stop staring at my muffin top!) that I already knew what I was doing and
needed no guidance. Unfortunately this is not the case. While my main reason
for joining are the treadmills (that are in miles and not km – what the heck?!)
I would like to work my upper body more. Gotta get ready to kick everyone’s
butts in the Warrior Dash next summer! :o) Hopefully tomorrow I can corner
someone into a quick tutorial.
This is week one on a new training program that I’ve
started. I’m adding intervals into my Sunday evening runs, and hills into my
Tuesday afternoon runs. These are ideal times for me to do these, except we had
a family dinner this past Sunday night so that run went right out the window.
The intervals went to Tuesday night and the hills went to Wednesday afternoon,
a few hours before work. To say that my
body was exhausted by the end of my shift last night is an understatement. Of
course today I’ve woken up with a cold sore from it all, I’m barely able to
keep my eyes open and I have to work tonight. Look out patrons, I sense one
bitchy server coming to your table in a few hours!
