Day 4 out of 70

Today was a recovery bike workout, which I completed this morning. I got up and got out the door without any problems this morning. Tomorrow is a run and my plan is to get it done in the AM. 

I submitting section of my dissertation this week so waiting to hear back from my advisor. I keep checking but so far nothing has come back yet. As soon as I get some edits back I will get working on that.

It is currently 9 pm and I need to get my breakfast and lunch together for tomorrow.

It was a long day at work, where I got very little done, but had a lot of frustration. I feel like I will never get all of it done and I need to! The pressure is on...

I also received all my loan paperwork and I need to work my way through all the information.

This weekend I need to figure out when to move money around and how much.

Got get some shit done!!

Day 3 of 70

 Today is day 3 of 70 which will guide me to through four more races. I worked on my school work in the morning and got my workout done this evening. Tomorrow I will workout in the AM and get some school work done. Work is getting a bit stressful and I need to remind myself that I have to save some time for myself. I have been tired lately but no time to sleep in, I have too much to do.

My to do list at work and at home is very long. I often feel there isn't enough time in the day.

Just taking it one day at a time.

I now need to go put my breakfast and lunch together!

Have a great night!

Less than 70 days = 4 more races

 

Day 1 and 2

Last week a woman told me about this challenge she was doing for 75 days starting August 1. The challenge included drinking 100 ounces of water, working out twice a day for 45 minutes each time, reading 10 pages, following a nutritional diet, and taking a progress photo of you every day. The point of this challenge is to practice self discipline.

Although this is not the challenge for me but it had me thinking. Instead of 75 days I have 70 days to complete four more races. I have a 2.5 K open water swim, a Ironman 70.3, a sprint triathlon and a full marathon on day 70; October 9. Over the last 7 months I have not been consistent with my training. I have been training but I have not been in the right head space. As a result I may have completed the workouts but without any passion or focus. Of course I am always working on my diet and nutrition. I have also been sporadic with my school work, I am so close I just need to get it done. And finally I have not been journaling a consistent basis. 

In the past I was very disciplined to get workouts, work, and school work done, I was a machine and made sure it all got done! I need this back in the next 70 days with passion and focus!

So my plan everyday for 70 days...

1. workouts in the AM

2. work

3. at least 1 hour of school in the AM

4. Journal every day for me...I will use my blog to journal but does not mean I will post on social media.

Due to a triathlon yesterday I was very tired so combining day 1 & 2 together...I will continue.

Bring on day 3...

Surprise Yourself!
