Looks like you're killing this challenge, Wiri, but where are those pushups etc that you're supposed to be doing?  How am I supposed to get in my vicarious workouts if you're not even doing them?  Sheesh.

I'm working out! I'm running, dancing, and swimming.

[Hiraedd]

It's all good then

It's all good then

 

Yesterday I ran (mostly walked) a 5k in 95 degree weather. HUGE mistake. But I did it hence why I walked. I also didn't take water. MISTAKE.

 

Day 4.4 - Day 4.6

 

#1 I used my cheat on Friday. It's been incredible hot (low 100s plus humidity) in SoCal and I work in a non-a/c room. Having coffee was a HUGE mistake but I thought iced would be fun. Nope. Oh! I also had coffee after the race during breakfast. DAMN that's two days now... that I have gone off the wagon.

 

#2 No.

#3 No. --> I put in an extra 50.5 hours of overtime during this challenge. I'm incredibly exhausted and yesterday was the first day in 28 days that I had a day to relax. I relaxed by running in heat. MISTAKE. I should have just down my sit-ups and push-ups because those can be done indoors.

 

#4 YES!!! TOTALLY FREAKING COMING OUT ON TOP.  E-mailed all the potential supervisors. And three got back to me; two were excited and one was a negative Nancy.

[Hiraedd]

Awesome, Wiri.

[Wirilome]

Day 4.7

 

#1 - No.

#2 - No

#3 - No.

#4 - No.

[Wirilome]

Week #4 Update

 

#1 - I ended up having coffee once. Poop. So I get a B. 

#2 I didnt do anything. F

#3 Same F.

#4 A+ I did so much.

[Blaidd]

The fact that you're right top of 1 goal and mostly on top of another almost cancels out those 2 F's Wiri.  So don't you stop going for it

Week 5.1

 

#1 Nope =)

#2 Nope

#3 Nope

#4 No AND IT FELT GOOD!!!!

 

Sometimes I need a break from the madness and yesterday I had my break. I wrote about why I haven't been doing as much as I would like BUT... it's my blog and I saw the terms and conditions yesterday so I guess I won't link it? I don't know I'm confused.

You can link it, or not.  You need to do what you feel the best about hunny.  Obviously we'd love to know what's going on with you, but if you're not ready to share, that's perfectly ok.  One day when you are ready, we will be ready too

 

Take a break if it's what you need.  We're not going anywhere

Day 5.2

 

#1 Starbucks. This is where shit is hitting the fan and I am drinking coffee. Dear me, coffee is not a solution. Beer is the solution. I went out for beer and coffee. I was ready to walk yesterday. I had said no mas!!!

#2 No. I proceeded to throw up.

#3 No. 

#4 Yes but not a lot. 

 

Also the girl that I go get Starbucks with is back after two months of being away on leave. I must stay strong and say no. I will not go get coffee with you.  

[Hiraedd]

Dear me, coffee is not a solution. Beer is the solution. 

LOL.  Wiri, you crack me up!

 

And you are doing fantastic.  I love that you took a break when you needed it.

 

Now as for your friend, offer to go for a walk with her or something instead.  Or (if you feel strong enough) go to starbucks but order water (they'll usually give you tap water in a cup with ice if you ask at no charge).  Just make sure she knows that it's about you and coffee breaking up, not about you and her not hanging out.

[Wirilome]

Week 5 was a horrible emotional, eye-opening week. 

 

#1 Starbucks. I only had my lovely cheat =) So A+/ 

#2 No. I did not work out. I have not worked out in two weeks. I have danced. But I feel hot gross and stick.

#3 No. I only allowed myself to do crunches during my dance. Do any of you get bad thoughts? Like your brain telling you that you can't do it? This is my brain, all the freakin' time. 

#4. I read about 40 pages. I have forgotten how hard it is to read History. But I read. 

[Wirilome]

Week 6 update. 

 

#1 I had a coffee on Monday. I was so pissed off. That I have been questioning my friendships. A while back my friends and I picked a weekend to go camping. I requested a specific date because I work weekends and if I know ahead of time I can request a day off. It was set. But then on Monday at like 4PM!!! I found out through facebook that it had been canceled dude to two camping trips being arranged. They figured EVERYONE could go to one but not EVERYONE could go to the one I could go to. Apparently I was not included in the EVERYONE list. It's inconsiderate and rude. I feel left out of the decision making process. 

 

but if anything I learned that I rely on sugar drinks to numb me. Like how do I be pissed off, you there coffee, let me have an emotional bond with you. It's gotten better because of a challenge I did a while back but still an ongoing struggle. 

 

#2 Nope. And why not because this is my brain in the push-up position. WHY? YOU SUCK ANYWAY? YOU ARE TOO FAT FOR THE FBI. YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW TO SHOT A GUN? And you are too emotional. You should just quit now. 

 

#3 See above. BUT THANKFULLY MY TRAINER will Force me to do them. He knows my brain. He can tell when my depression is in full swing. 

 

#4 I called the museum for an internship. She e-mailed me back. I am still waiting. I ordered a book that I wanted. But I need to get cracking.
