Day 6

Running. Is. Evil! There, I said it! Actually, I am secretly envious of those who can run. I do not have the ability to do so without hurting myself. Thankfully, my brother's phenomenal girlfriend is going to train with me on Sunday's and I have some pretty fantastic friends working with me on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

That being said, Tuesday night's running experience was pretty rough. I tried to jog 400m....that so did not happen. I am really going to have to start all over on this and take it slow. I am not a very patient person so this is really going to frustrate me many times before I am where I want to be.



Day 7 (Yes I am mashing these into two posts!)

Nothing exciting today except that I am convinced Comcast technicians do not know what they are doing 90% of the time. After 4 hours at my house trying to figure out the wireless  router and the modem, the technician literally threw his hands in the air and left...then I fiddled with it and figured it out myself. After that I had to go back to work and meet with my boss and figure out a game plan for the service department (it is basically in shambles) and explain to him that everyone is new; he cannot expect perfection! He conceded and then apologized for being so cranky lately. I am very lucky to work for this man and this company. While he can be very difficult at times, he is incredibly generous, kind, and smart. I actually love coming into work everyday...except when I am sick. Which is what happened when I got home. I ended up with a fever and the chills and passed out in bed. No CrossFit for me but I will be there on Friday!

So far, this journey has been a roller coaster ride. I fluctuate between complete strictness and utter abandon pretty regularly and I continue to jump from frustration to joy with little in between. I love that I have a great network of people that I can turn to for support and questions however I just wish I could snap my fingers and have it all in proper order with my nutrition and health. I am just so impatient with all of this however I know that I am supposed to go through this to be a stronger, healthier person that doesn't take life for granted....Pfft. Where is the magic genie and the three wishes?!
