Ok be prepared for something like a whine. I am not eating well, not drinking well, not sleeping well. I miss talking to my special one and I am working way to hard. BUT having said that I am not doing half bad.
- Not drinking well: I am struggling to make my two liters. Why? Because I do not fill my bottle every morning when I am at work. BAD Willow!
- Not eating well: I skip breakfasts, and thus start the day really really wrong. Why? Have had no real time for groceries. BAD Willow!
- Not sleeping well: Take work home, finding there are not enough hours in a work day, and then end up sleeping less hours Why? Have my priorities all screwed up. Health comes first, Sanity too, work fifth............sixth even! BAD Willow.
- Don't talk to my special one: I just cannot find a time that hea stime to spend with me. Why? Timezone problems! ~makes puppey dog eyes~just one of them there things I cannot change.
- Working way to hard: take work home, feeling things should be finished, feeling deadlines breathing down my neck. Why? Because things have not been organised well, and frankly, the team I work in is not a team! BAD Willow...........erm.....no.
- Fill my bottle of water in the morning
- Go grocery shopping, and lay of the easy, nearly pointless sweet cookies!
- Find time to spend with Mr. wonderful, priority........four, after food, drink and sleep
- sleep at least 6 hours, preferably 7.
- Take no more work home!
C25K week one, day one
I did 5 minutes at 5.5 km/hr, then the remaining 15 minutes alternately at 5.5 km/hr jog, and 4.5 km/hr power walk. I was alittle scared actually running on the treadmill,, so first try I held on to the handles, second try I tried without, sort of half half the remaining 4 I did without any support. And I did it. Odd thing, though I sweated like an otter, It did not challenge me to the max.
I know now I will have to do this first one again as I did 15 minutes alternating. It should have been 20 minutes. Silly Willow!
Though I was very hot after, and my legs were like lead. I managed only 5 mins on the cross trainer. And as it was nearly 09:15 PM before I was finished and my body desperately needed some sauna and steamroom TLC, I just relaxed for about 45 mins, and went home.
Oh and another thing I noticed. I have been taking these hot and cold (really cold) alternating power showers, each lasts 20 seconds, and I can feel myself loving the cold one. I don't know why, but I actually enjoy the cold more than the hot ones.
All in all it is late again, and I should be in bed, because at this rate I will manage just under 5 hours of sleep!! BAD Willow. Oh yes and tomorrow is weigh in day again. I am aiming for 2.2 lbs/1 kg, but I have grave doubts!

Work does have a way of messing up your routine sometimes. Every three months or so, various reports all come due at the same time in my job, and the week before they are due is so hectic and crazy!!! I know I don't sleep well, eat well, exercise well - four weeks out of the year. But gosh those are long weeks!!!
I know you'll get back on track. You have come such a long way - you won't toss it to the wind now! I am so proud of you and your daily gym and tackling the C25K as well! I'm going to give it a go too! Hopefully start tomorrow!
And you didn't meet that guy again who wanted to put a bed there for you? :-)
I really hope the Week from Hell hasn't turned into a Month from Hell.
