Trying To Move Forward

As most of you know things have been very stressful for me lately...that doesn't seem to be changing anytime soon, so I need to change how I cope with it. I need to look at what the situation is and figure out what I can control and what I can't.

Right now, money is so very tight with the move that getting a car is going to have to wait. This means that what I do needs to happen at home or close to home...

The move is set to be August 13, may be able to start moving some stuff in later today! Basicly everything is packed that can be packed and we are ready to go...so not too much left to do around here to get ready...

I do still very overwhelmed by all of this, but I am trying to find the positive in things...the new place is small, but I love the location...great areas to run and ride in, woods behind me and a pond in the center of the community...it will be awesome...

With money as tight as it is, the Tri is going on hold...so I need to find a goal to be working toward in the mean time....it is how I focus...

I have been thinking..marathon? training for a later Tri? I don't know maybe both, but for now my goal is going to be to make peace with where I am and what I can do right now...

Time to get real...I haven't been working out much for a couple of weeks now...this all hit and I got sidetracked...I was emotionally drained and tired physically...so I got slack...this fed into feeling really not good about myself...along with not working out, nutrition went out the window...either not eating enough or eating junk...it is time to put a stop to this!

The plan is to get the nutrition back in line...back to basicly clean eating, 5 times a day, drinking my water and listening to my body.

Workout wise, I am giving myself some break until after the move. I was challenged to a crossfit workout challenge that is 12 minute cicuit that involves 10 push ups, 15 situps and 12 walking lunges...repeated for 12 minutes...for me today that ended up being 120 pushups, 180 situps and 144 walking lunges...who would have thought you could get such a complete workout in 12 minutes!! This works for me at the moment...Three days a week I will do a 3-5 mile run...anything else will be bonus as time allows and energy levels allow...once the move is complete, I will look at what my options are for working out at home until I can get a car....

I have a plan, I have someone to hold me to the plan and I am going to do this...I will not let this crisis and frustration completely derail me!
