Terra Posted December 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2015 This evaluation is a big deal because my manager is the same guy who told me two years in a row that I "didn't have a path forward to a promotion" He ceases to be my manager as of December 14th!!! Thanks for being a good place to share my happiness/shock! I'm getting brain fried while writing and the low hours of sleep are getting to me today. I'm looking forward to jui-jitsu and conditioning class tonight. Hopefully the conditioning tonight won't have quite as many squats because my quads and butt still hurt from Monday night! 4 Quote Ranger-Monk Hybrid I am a strong little powerhouse Current Challenge: Recovery Battle/Quest Log and Instagram: TerraOracle Link to post

Terra Posted December 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2015 Right now I'm a little short on sleep (stomach issues have kept me up the last few nights) and I'm tired. Sleep has become a priority!!! I did the conditioning class last night and was wondering if I would be able to lift my arms today (I'm moving just fine today). My girls both stayed and did the class with me. It was very cute to have 7 adults and 5 little girls in the class. They got to use the little weights 3 & 5 pounds) and everyone had fun! Today is another busy day with lots of meetings, writing and physical therapy! Thanks for all the virtual high fives - I was so surprised, it hasn't sunk in totally yet. But the stress associated with being successful in all these new task/responsibilities may be the reason my stomach isn't happy. I manifest stress in my gut! So I'm off to "make it so" 3 Quote Ranger-Monk Hybrid I am a strong little powerhouse Current Challenge: Recovery Battle/Quest Log and Instagram: TerraOracle Link to post

I don't know what it is about Friday's classes at the gym but WHEW!!! I'm exhausted. I got in my vehicle to drive back to work after the two classes today and my legs were shaking so much I was worried about using the pedals correctly!!! Good Jui-jitsu and conditioning classes today.

Someday I'll figure out how to do carbs just one day and get back on track with my lower carbs. It was the spicy Thai food that had me craving ice cream afterwards. Or consider turning at least to healthy carbs when you want/have to. I've gone the Paleo For Athletes route, instituting a moderate carb intake to support my athletic pursuits through peri-workout refueling with white rice, oatmeal, and sweet potatoes. Not entirely Paleo, but I feel much better going about my nutrition that way. 3 Quote [ Level ?? ] Rurik the Windblade, the Blade Who Dances, Warhawk of the Steppes.

Terra Posted December 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 After a challenging weekend (food wise) I should be able to get back on track this week. I am feel like I have a cold coming on but I'm going to dig into the arsenal (and the freezer) and eat some extra healthy/healing foods to see if I can keep it at bay!!! Homemade gelatin gummies and bone broth for the win!!! I didn't get out an do any purposeful exercise this weekend. The calves were uber achey this weekend so all I did was some walking. And three hours of the Nutcracker sure puts a dent in ones' weekend plans... This week has the added challenge of my hubby being on travel so my work hours will be all over the place as I get the kids to their activities, attend band concert and have a mgt with one of the teachers. I also refuse to use my hubby's absence as an excuse to skip my exercise classes! I hope this cold stays mild so I can attend everything on my schedule!!! 3 Quote Ranger-Monk Hybrid I am a strong little powerhouse Current Challenge: Recovery Battle/Quest Log and Instagram: TerraOracle Link to post
