ARGH!! ONE WEEK - NO OFFICIAL WORKOUTS!

Okay, so between coming back from a great trip to MT, and dealing with teen-age foster kid drama (work and life), I have yet been able to get to the gym! I typically go every day, and hit the elipitcal/bike/weights for an hour or so. Then toss in my runs.
FOR SEVEN DAYS.....IT HAS JUST BEEN DAILY WALKING (which works to about 3 miles per day...but still...not the same!)

I got a bit *****y (I know...but I did). Told my DH, DD, DS, and FC that I would be home very late! Hitting a 2 hour workout (sauna included) after work tonight.

It is amazing how out of sorts I feel when my routine is broken!!!

I am so afraid that all my training benefits have gone down the toilet after one week of no strong cardio or runs!

 

Phew..done venting. Hoping I haven't lost my fitness level. Will post my Thursday workout later.

Kathy

I hear you girl.  I had some problems at work today.  I'm going to take it out on my bicycle late this afternoon!!

I totally feel you....I am totally crusty if I don't go to the gym or go running for more than two days (and sometimes it's only one..)

Cheers, because you're going to feel like a million bucks tonight!!!

the good news on both accounts are:  a) you will not lose your fitness after a week, it takes much much longer and b) being cranky when you DON'T workout just means that you have really made it a part of your life, and when it's missing, you get cranky (for a variety of reasons), this is actually a good thing, except for the those on the receiving end :)

i'm the exact same way on both accounts even though i know better too.

Thanks all,
  And Bill...thanks for letting me know that I won't lose fitness after one week. I think that fear is what is adding to my crankiness!
