Last night I was glad to get to burn off some frustration when I got home. It had been a stressful afternoon, so I was glad to have that outlet.
Today started off great! I have an "intern" (who is already a counselor somewhere else but needs elementary hours to complete licensure requirements) that comes on Wednesdays, and it is so nice to have someone who relates to what days are like for a school counselor. We discussed frustrations that we have within our position, and talked about the warm fuzzy feelings that it brings sometimes. It's almost like we get a weekly counseling session within ourselves! I had Kindergarten and first grades, had a couple of individual sessions, met with teachers...very productive day. Then I had a meeting at the end of the day. I was up and motivated all day...until I sat down in the parent meeting. You know when you're tired and you are fine as long as your still moving and going?! Well, that was me today...and I crashed after about 45 minutes in that meeting. It was like my brain was floating! Part of it may have been that there were alot of people in a small room and it started getting hot and all that jazz...but man, talk about drained! I got home, caught up on "Pretty Little Liars" and played trains with my little boy...all of which were great, because they didn't take much effort. lol
As I was taking the munchkin to his room to read his bedtime story, my husband looked at me and said, "Do we have to do this tonight?" lol "Yes, we do!" was my response, after I got a HUGE yawn.
Tonight was "Plyometric Cardio Circuit" and this is the 3rd time we've done it, so we are starting to learn the routine. I really didn't have to take an unscheduled break until we got to the planks and pushups...then, I definitely did! All of that is at the end of the routine, so I was exhausted. And, for me, it so hard to do pushups without holding my breathe...it always has been! lol So when I'm winded, there's no way I can do very many!
I still have nothing but great things to say about the Insanity program! I can definitely see a difference in myself, and I'm pretty used to the eating routine. Tomorrow will be a little different because, in my own little Tori way, left my smoothie container at school (and yes, I only have one), and I left my water bottle at school. At least I can buy water at school, although I am going to look into getting one of those filtered water bottles. The water at school tastes terrible, and I get tired of buy bottles of water from the cafeteria. Depending on the price, that would be a good investment to just leave at school and use there. The workouts don't get easier, you just learn what to expect. The time goes by really fast but your body feels like you have been going FOREVER!
I have moved the scale out of the bathroom because I was weighing myself ALL of the time. I would be like, "Oh, I just took a shower, let's see if how much dirt I had in my hair!" or "I just went to the bathroom, wonder how much that was worth?!" lol So I moved it and will not weigh myself until either Sunday or Monday, which is when I will do my measurements as well. I'm intrigued and excited to see how well I have done. I don't have HIGH hopes for the weight, I just want to average my 2.5 pounds a week so I can hit my goal in the end!
Thank you to all of you who have been supportive! If you would like to leave a comment for me and don't want to join blogspot, you can just leave it on my facebook.
