Urgh

So I'm just going to do a post now since I know I'll be way too tired tonight to do it. Getting up at 530 two days in a row is rough and I'm definitely feeling it today. I don't quite feel like I've been hit by a bus, but I'm definitely sluggish and not feelin it today. It's pretty much taking all my willpower not to drink the entire pot of coffee we've got in the kitchen. I'm allowed to have coffee, but obviously I would have to drink it black or with almond milk. Yuck.

Went on another walk last night although it was shorter - probably between 1 and a half miles and 2. Got about half of the RIT loop done. I was tired, and it was cold, but it was nice to get a little exercise into the day. Had breakfast for dinner because I was way too lazy and tired to do anything else. I may as well just not even bothered since I was in bed 10 minutes later.

Today is another one of those days at work. I'm really not feeling the gym tonight but after the past two days, I get the feeling it's going to be pretty cathartic. My body's not feeling it, but we'll see what I can muster. I was seriously contemplating cancelling my reservation tonight but then I checked out the WOD and got super conflicted.

Skill:
3 rounds not for time
5-8 muscle ups or pull-ups
10-15 box jumps
8-10 Glute-ham raises

MetCon:
4 rounds
5 axle thrusters
10 burpees

Midline:
3 x 8 kettlebell windmills

So this is why I'm super conflicted - box jumps and pull-ups in one WOD and no time entered. Would be a perfect time to try and tackle that 20" box and I could really take some time to work on pull-ups. The MetCon doesn't even look that god awful. I've never done a windmill before so I can't exactly comment on that. The part that's making me hesitant right now is that: A). I'm freaking exhausted so I don't even know how well I would do. B). the Open WOD is tomorrow and it actually looks like fun so I want to do it and C). the final results are on Saturday so I don't want to tire myself out for that. By now I'm past the time that I can unregister myself for the class without having to call one of the coaches so I guess my fate has kind of been decided but I don't know what I'll do about Friday and Saturday now. Ugh! Other option is that I could suck it up, go to the gym tonight, go to sleep right after and sleep for like 12 hours or something. I feel like that is a totally doable goal right there. Ok I guess I can be ok with this gym plan. I really do need to food prep tomorrow though....eesh.

I think the plan for tomorrow will be to get up around 8-ish, which will work swimmingly if I go to bed nice and early. I'll throw the beef stew in the crockpot to cook while I'm at the gym. Then when I come home I'll get to work on the baking type stuff like some sweet potato/zucchini chips and the meat candy. I might do the stuff that needs to be fried but we'll see with that one. I still have to make my spaghetti squash dish, which I just may do quickly tonight. Was going to just mix it together in a bowl with some tomato sauce and clams. Seemed like something simple and quick to do.

Now that I've finally gotten the paleo on a budget thing down, now I have to worry about my electricity bill. My stove is electric and I never really realized how much energy that damn appliance uses. I really wish I had a gas stove. I'll just have to start paying attention to how long I have the oven running when there's nothing cooking in it, and same goes for the stove. I use my toaster oven a lot for baking small things, but I don't know how much energy that sucks up compared to the stovetop.

I know I just really need to sleep. As soon as there's a good night's sleep on board, a lot of things will start looking up. Maybe not all, but a lot. Hopefully.
