"Don't question reality. When something bad happens, it's better to embrace it and do something about it than to be lost in regrets."
Things do not always go the way we plan. There are small speed bumps and huge mountains that on occasion will make our goals seem impossible. One problem many of us have, is getting hung up on those bad moments. The piece of cake you had at the birthday party, the missed workout to sleep in, The forgotten training session due to the family emergency (or even plain laziness), those are moments not to be stressed over. Spending time worrying over and obsessing over the bad stuff prevents us from making a plan of attack to avoid it happening again. So next time you indulge in a desert, or skip a workout, recognize it, then get over it. Then start thinking about how you can make sure it doesn't happen again.
I did 2 great things today. #1, I actually made it to the pool, and #2, I signed up for my first Sprint Tri race of the season in 4 weeks! The Ludlow Sherrif Sprint triathlon. It is a 300 yard swim, 9 mile bike & 3 mile run, so it should be a good first race of the year. I decided to sign up as Athena and am hoping to kick ass and take first place!
The bad?
I forgot my sneakers to do my weightlifting after swimming. Can't weight lift in sandals, and didn't realize until after I had changed completely. bummer. I did well with my eating until hitting the bar after work with a few coworkers. 2 beers, a little bar popcorn later and I am at home snacking mindlessly until Kevin gets home and I can make dinner. Please someone tell me how to get in the right frame of mind! I'm trying to just learn and move forward, so someone help me get the motivation I need to eat clean!
I promise to have my Cherry Blossom race recap and a Pearl Izumi review done soon for you guys!
