Will winter ever end?
I realize it’s only February but it feels like it has been winter for 2 years now. We got hit with 5 inches of snow yesterday and more is coming tomorrow. We don’t go a week without temps dipping below zero. Logically I know that spring will come sometime but it seems like it’s a million years away.
My resolution yesterday to have a good day sort of came true. I went into things with a good attitude but the kids were so awful yesterday. And I thought that maybe it was me but all of the other teachers said the same thing. I really think it’s the weather. It’s freezing and we haven’t had a normal week without a cancellation, delay or early out since before Christmas. So even though the day wasn’t fantastic I think my resolution helped things to go better than they would have otherwise.
These next 2-3 days I’m not going to be able to workout which always causes me to worry. I just have to remember to keep plugging away at what I can control, my eating. And sometimes the body works in strange ways, I tend to lose more weight on weeks I don’t workout as much. Weird, I know.
Yesterday I tried something new which I’m hoping will help. When I did my normal FIRM DVD I wore a weighted vest. I have been wanting to up my weights to 15 pounds for my legs but I know my arms aren’t ready yet. So I added 10 pounds to the vest and did the workout and in all honesty it wasn’t much harder but my butt does feel a bit sore today. Next time I’m going to add 15 pounds (it goes up to 20) and see what that does.
<>Well, the kids are here so I need to teach. Hope everyone has a good day.
I hear you on the winter thing….it feels like it’s never going to be above freezing! If it weren’t for DH I’d be moving south in a heartbeat.
I’m sorry your school kids have been acting up for you.
Which FIRM Dvds do you use? I have the ones with the double step. I’ve used them in the past and seen awesome results. Right now I’m kind of scared to get them out and dust them off and use them….As I remember, they really kicked my butt. *sigh* one of the days I’ll get up the motivation to start exercising again. You definitely inspire me to do so!
Only 2 years? It seems like forever. Hubby and I were just saying the snow is ok, but the cold is miserable. It just seems to cut right through you. Good for you and your determination to have a good day. I feel the same way. No more negatives - they are as biting as the cold. Don’t worry about the workouts. As busy as you have been your doing good.
