Hi everyone!! Last week was rough, and I mean that in a good way. I am going to Planet Fitness to get in shape, and last week I got brave and signed up for one of their classes. There are not a lot of people there this time of year so I get a lot of one on one attention and OMG he kicked my ass so hard. I also cleaned up my diet a lot. After talking to some of my new gym friends, I decided to go paleo/low carb. I have been struggling to get through the withdrawals of sugar and all of that. I am shocked at how similar nicotine and sugar/ carb cravings are. I haven’t had a cig in three years, and I am going through sugar withdrawals, and I am all like why am I craving cigs NOW? Another thing is with working out, so hard and low carb my energy levels have tanked. I workout at different times usually in the Morning. I tend to wake up at around 4 am for some reason I write on a client project as much as possible work out then come home shower put on clean Pj and my young live lotion and take a nap wake up crank out some more of my client project before passing out. I checked, and this is entirely normal before your body starts running on fat. You supposedly feel amazing once your body switches to that energy source.
As you can imagine, I did not get much reading done. I did read Reading People and OMG it is so good. I encourage everyone to read it it will make a difference n how you handle things. Like I already know I am an extreme introvert and now I know why I feel so drained when I am around people. I need my time to recharge. I now feel less guilty now asking for alone time.
Speaking of alone time, I wiggled out of going to Kentucky for Thanksgiving. Before you start thinking I am a mean ole bitch, I didn’t want to go all the way to Kentucky then come all the way back to Cleveland for my audiology appt on Dec 15th. 10 hours on the road in that short amount of time is waaaay to much for me.
What I am hoping to read this week
I am waaaay too tired to make a pretty graphic in photoshop this week, so I am just gonna list them here. It is still non-fiction November, so I am sticking to non-fiction still.
Deep Work- My library hold on this came in. I am hoping to get some tips on how to get into the flow of work. This is big in my business groups.
The Power of Habits- As I have said before, I recently overhauled my diet and exercise regime, and I want some tips to make them stick. I don’t want this to be a phase I want this to be my new lifestyle. I need all the help I can get though Lol
I admire your dedication to your health and fitness (as I sit on my couch). I don’t think I could be that committed though. Come see my week here. Happy reading!
hahaha it is not easy!!! I think it is because i have the support of my trainer is the reason I haven’t given up yet.
We’re not traveling this year either. Come see what I’m reading
