  • I won't be making my April exercise goal. I had a bad start to the week, car problems, meaning my commute was 2 hours longer than normal for the first 3 days, as well as a bad gain over the weekend. Both caused me to be emotionally and physically exhausted so I decided to take the week off from exercising. Not the greatest decision, but it means I have 2 more rest days, which I'm really looking forward to and I'll restart this weekend.

    I'm sorry you're having a rough week! Take care of you we'll see you for the May challenge I hope.
  • SuperHero- Thanks for the encouragement! I'm definitely planning on sticking around here for the rest of the month. I know I need to get back on track. I think I just needed a couple days off for my mental health!

  • Gee, Changergirl, I just realized where you are. I imagine you are not the only person stressed in your vicinity. Take care of yourself! My best defense against stress is exercise, although that's not always easy to see in the moment.

  • gardenerjoy- thanks for letting me change my goals, I definitely don't want to make this a habit. Also I wish I could blame my stress on my location but I think the most stressful thing about being here is trying to convince my mom that it's safe!!!

    Anyway, I'm just going to take last weeks planned exercise off my plan which means I end up with C25K x10, Pedal x6, Abs & Arms x7, Legs & Butt x7. I have no excuses not to finish this.
