A very long day

Today was a unique work day. I had agreed to teach workshops on Poverty from 8:00-12:00 and from 6:00-8:00 at night (two different groups). So, I was at work by 7:00 a.m. and got home at 8:30 p.m. I love getting the chance to teach about something I'm passionate about, but I probably need to work on boundaries and saying no occasionally.

I'm proud of the fact that I didn't completely eliminate activity even on a day with a ridiculous schedule. I took the dog out for a 25 minute brisk walk when I got home. Again, no giant burn happening, but I committed to moving. It's also interesting that my legs are very tired today. I'd forgotten how much more time on my feet I spend when I'm teaching rather than my regular desk jockey duties. With today's marathon of work behind me, tomorrow turns the calendar to regular workouts again. I'm planning on hitting a cardio machine and doing the cybex circuit at the Y. It will be the first real workout since I ran 5k in Vegas on March 19th.

I hired a trainer several months ago, her name is Danni, and have trained off and on with her since. I haven't been back with her since my nose surgery in January, but she called me today and we are going to meet on Friday. It's weird, I had been avoiding getting back with the trainer because in my head, I should wait until I was fitter to work out with her.
What an odd thought process I have sometimes.

Anyway I'm grateful she called and in her always positive way told me to get my ass moving. She's meeting me at the pool on Friday and I can tell she wants me to commit to a triathlon sooner than later. She's very big on goals:)

Some of you have heard the joke about a bacon and egg breakfast; the chicken was interested, the pig was committed. Tomorrow it is my intention to commit to healthier living and every day thereafter. I'm tired of simply being interested in living a fitter life.

Not much news on the diet front today, it was mostly grab and go on a very busy day.
I did weigh in this morning and I was at 198 lbs. That was actually a little lower than I suspected, which I attribute to two consecutive nights without my arch-nemesis: ice cream. At 5'8" though, it's not where I want to be.

Too busy and tired for a before photo so that can wait another day. I'm exhausted from today, but excited about tomorrow. I'll pick a triathlon by Friday.
