\"\"<\/a>This past week I’ve been lost in the land of workout DVDs.\u00a0 I only got to run once and I’m trying with all my might not to be frustrated about that.<\/p>\n

So far I am not succeeding.<\/p>\n

We got our first batch of winter weather this week.\u00a0 Nothing crazy, just a tad bit of snow.\u00a0 Despite the fact that it snowed several days this week, we only have a dusting which doesn’t last very long.\u00a0 Just staying around long enough for you to catch a glimpse, then it’s gone till the next day.<\/p>\n

This morning I woke up to this on the deck, which I walked all over in my sleepy stupor because Rocky got me up at 5am (fun!).\u00a0 Sorry Scott!\u00a0 I took a pic of it before it melted!<\/p>\n

It wasn’t the snow or the cold that has been keeping me inside this week, you all know I can kick some winter butt.\u00a0 It’s been the wind.\u00a0 The wind has kept me from running and instead I’ve been doing workout DVDs.<\/p>\n

Thank goodness I just ordered some new ones to test out and add to my library!<\/p>\n

I did DVDs three times this week, including today because wind kept me from enjoying a long run.\u00a0 I was really looking forward to a long run this morning and when I realized that wasn’t going to happen I almost cried.<\/p>\n

Could I be any more dramatic?\u00a0 It’s slightly ridiculous, I know, but this past week has been a tad bit stressful and busy. In order to sort of ground and reset myself, I run.\u00a0 That’s my “me” time where I clear my head, destress, and work through anything that needs attention.\u00a0 Not getting a chance to do that this week has left me feeling off balance.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I still worked out, focusing more on strength and stretching with small amounts of cardio worked in.\u00a0 I had to have some cardio because I’m a cardio fiend, and need to get that sweat and heart-rate going for me to feel like I accomplished something.<\/p>\n

This week was definitely a test in patience and I was pushed out of my comfort zone. Running four times a week is my happy place. Running once a week is stressful.\u00a0 Instead of doing nothing and pouting, I did something else (though I still pouted).<\/p>\n

Is it the end of the world? Obviously not and tomorrow starts a brand new week.<\/p>\n

Do you have a preferred type of exercise? What do you do if you’re unable to do it that day or that week?<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
