A little bit blah...

I've been feeling a bit "blah" the last few days. For one thing, I feel exhausted for no reason...it's 7:30 pm and I already want to go to bed. I also haven't been much in the workout mood since Sunday. I've noticed that Sunday is a critical workout day for me, for some reason I allow it to set the tone of my workouts for the entire week. Well, this past Sunday was not the best workout. When I got home from Nels', I cleaned the house some and did a total deep clean of the bathroom. I threw practically every cleaner under the kitchen sink into the tub/shower, and the fumes made me really dizzy and gave me a BAD headache. At around 6 pm, my mom was starting to cook dinner and the gym is only open till 8 on Sundays, so I made my way over there for a short workout. Felt awful. Forced myself to get through 10 minutes on the Stairmaster and 10 minutes on the crossramp, then I went home and called it a night.

Last night, my workout was pretty good. I had boot camp for an hour, which is always great. Then I did the crossramp for 25 minutes, but I was not feeling as energized as I was last week after class. I was feeling WIPED OUT!!!

To back up a bit (since I haven't blogged in over a week), I had some GREAT workouts last week. Here's a recap:

Sunday - the triathlon, of course!

Monday - boot camp & 30 minutes of cardio

Tuesday - abs, Stairmaster (15 minutes), rowing (10 minutes - borrrrrring), and jogging on the treadmill (15 minutes)

Wednesday - break

Thursday - biceps, shoulders, abs, 15 minutes on the Stairmaster and 30 minutes on the crossramp

Friday - woke up early because we had to move my brother up to NIU. It was a good thing I decided to run outside and not go to the gym, because when I opened the front door...






My brother's friends Saran-wrapped his car and decorated it for him leaving for NIU! He was both annoyed and amused:



Since he was parked behind me, I wasn't going anywhere! Anyway, back to the run - this was one of the most AMAZING runs I've had in a long time. I felt great!!! I ran for 5 miles, but it felt like only 2. It made me wish that I had done morning runs all summer. I've been meaning to get up and run in the mornings this week, but going back to that whole tired thing...yeah it hasn't happened.

We got my brother all moved into his place, he's so excited to be away at school and have his own apartment. I'm happy and excited for him too, but it's weird with him gone. It just feels like he's away at camp for the week. I miss him today.



I'm going to take it easy tonight and just relax, maybe finally fold my laundry I washed last week (or maybe not, ha).
