Man, I have had a rough time with exhaustion lately. My alarm went off at the right time this morning, but I fell back asleep and didn't wake up until 6:45am! I totally panicked! I didn't want to miss my training session and ended up shooting out of bed, packing like a mad woman, shoving a piece of cheese down my throat and running out the door. And I still didn't get into the gym until 7:40. Ashley is such a sweetheart, she re-scheduled for me instead of charging me, which is really what she's supposed to do. She is just the greatest.
I chatted with her for 20 minutes and then headed upstairs for my workout. I debated whether or not to do a full workout and just come into work late. I really don't have a time I have to be into work, but we have a team meeting every Monday at 9am. I decided to just skip the meeting and do a full workout.
But I am soooo glad I did. It was just one of those choices you have to make. I chose my health over work and for me, that's where my priorities lie. My health comes first. Period. I had a wonderful workout. Ashley would have been proud! I did 30 minutes of cardio and then did some back and tricep exercises. I used such heavy weights, I barely made my reps, but it felt so good. After that, I did some chest and bicep work with 12 pound dumbells and then some push-ups and abs on the decline bench. Ashley hasn't been pushing me on my abs lately so I'm taking it into my own hands!! The decline bench is still a challenge for me, but it is such a great exercise.
I ended up feeling just wonderful when I was finished and was glad I chose to do a full workout. Tomorrow I will do kick-boxing. I need to prepare for my first spinning class on Saturday. Ok, I'm still a little scared, but I made a committment to Ashley and will stick to it!!
