The week from hell...

     Fifty years from now, I will look back on the week on January 14, 2014, and this is what I will see. A burning inferno of blazing fury. Now that this picture is in your head, maybe I should start from the beginning.

Let's begin with Saturday! I decided to take my physical well being into my own hands and join Cross Fit. Saturday was my first session with Nikki and Kevin, and luckily I had Kathy there with me to keep me motivated enough not to give up. After an hour of air squats, snatches, and push ups, my body was shattered. I spent the rest of the day hobbling around the house, making any excuse NOT to walk up the stairs.

Sunday - well, Sunday was excruciating. Countless Tylenol's, 3 smoldering hot baths, and a massage later, I could finally get comfortable enough to sleep. Sunday was spent in a haze of pain.

Monday-Wednesday - these three days went by in a blur. Emails, phone calls, and meetings filled these days. I was swimming in enough work for 3 people, and I loved every minute of it. Well, except having to stand and sit in various chairs. My quads were still stiff and painful.

Thursday - I feel like it took awhile to get here. Thursday was my 2nd session at Cross Fit. I actually surprised myself that I went. Normally, I can talk myself out of anything, but this is different. I can feel myself getting stronger with each passing day. Plus it helps when you flood your body with protein and water after a workout! So Thursday's WOD (Workout of the Day) saw Ring Ropes, 50M dashes, and yep, you guessed it, Squats! Again, I felt shattered, but it felt so good!

That bring me full circle to today.
FRIDAY!
TGIF

I have never been one to buy into the whole YAY, IT'S FRIDAY, thing. However, I think I now get it. I have never been so thankful to see the weekend than I am right now.  Between work and working out, this week seemed like it was never going to end. Today, I never managed to get my emailed below 200, I barely ate lunch, and I caved and ate half a donut. Yeah...a damn donut. All the work I am doing and I eat a donut! Oh well, I am sure Kevin will "squat" it out of me tomorrow.

For my first blog, this didn't go the way I had thought! I am sure tomorrow will be better. Maybe my next entry will even hit on what I actually wanted to say and not go off on a tangent about my hell week! Haha...have a beautiful weekend!
