What a week it has been!
It has been filled with wonderful happenings, lots of work, and refocusing on the important things in life.
I’m using today as a regroup day. It’s my first day off from everything and I am excited to catch up and regroup my life. Some days we just need to get refocused.
Before I get into anything else here is my weekly workout recap:

Not quite sure what today will have in store. I am thinking either pool running, walking, spinning, or some of each. We will just wait and see.
Most of the workouts were right along side Wes except for the workout on Thursday since I had to be at an interview early.
All in all a pretty good week. I am a little nervous about keeping on a schedule as my work schedule gets a little crazy. Each day has a different schedule so sometimes it makes getting a plan set a little more difficult.
I’ve learned that I have to give myself a little slack. The priority right now is getting us through the next 3-4 months, and fitting in the best workouts I can during this time. Once I run again it will make it a bit easier, but will still be difficult.
Sometimes in our lives we have to set our priorities. It doesn’t mean that things get put completely on the back burner, it just means that it is time to cut yourself a little slack. That’s my goal until we move – work as much as I can and do the best I can at my workouts and training. They will still happen the just may not be what I would have once intended.
We originally were going to do our Valentine’s/Match celebration Saturday night. After I got off work I was really tired and instead of trying to force it we opted to move our dinner out until Sunday. Plus, it will probably be a lot less busy!
We did enjoy a few Valentine’s treats before spending most of the night on the couch.
Frozen Yogurt. Yes, I love whipped cream – don’t judge me.
I also made some blueberry muffins and attempted to shape them into a heart. Wes didn’t even notice, oh well it’s the thought that counts!
We started out by watching our lovely college basketball team place Syracuse.
It was a tough and heartbreaking loss, but oh well!
Afterwards I took a little break to work on this post and Wes got busy playing Call of Duty. He refused to play his game until after all tests and match were over. He can now officially relax and play again!
Overall a pretty great and relaxing night. Looking forward to a day off and a day to celebrate today!
What did you do this weekend?
Anything exciting happening this week?
You’re right on the cutting yourself slack. I struggle with that constantly. When life happens or work is stressful, I tend to stress more when I can’t get my workouts in exactly as I usually do. Inevitably, I try to jam everything in & a week later I hit a wall of sleep deprived craziness. It’s important to be flexible & I’m still learning how to do that.
Yes I have been there! We end up pushing ourselves so hard and we can only take so much. Some weeks are better than others and it is just about doing the best you can 🙂
Way to go with your workouts! I’m too hard on myself sometimes if I can’t fit a workout in, but you’re right we need to cut ourselves some slack sometimes. Happy Sunday!
Ashley, Married to the Game
Thanks Ashley 🙂 Happy Sunday!
Good job on your workouts! Looks like you had a relaxing evening, the best kind! I had some frozen yogurt this week for the first time in a while. Red velvet and cookies in cream is delicious, and so is coconut! I love trying a little bit of each. 🙂
I love frozen yogurt! I wish I could say I only had it one time this week 😉
Of course where I live there was great celebration about the Syracuse win (some of the local news people are alumi) … I have no ‘skin’ in the game either way 🙂
Love the picture with you and your dad – the photographer did a great job capturing one of those ‘once in a lifetime’ shots.
Also good that you didn’t stress too much and just relaxed and put off your celebration – days like Valentine’s get wrapped up in too much stress anyway, glad you could just enjoy the weekend together!
Haha I will leave my sports teams comments to myself 🙂
Our photographer did do a great job at our wedding! That was one place that the husband and I agreed on we would spend more money to get a great photographer!
It was a great weekend. We don’t need a lot just time together and that is perfect with me!
haha – no worries, I have no big college sports feelings. My alma mater won the NCAA Hockey championship my freshman year, which was cool … but as I’ve said TV sports aren’t a big draw for me regardless.
I love the lighting – our wedding was in a massive cathedral with mediocre lighting on a cloudy morning (sun came out just for the reception) and no flash allowed … so it was a lighting struggle throughout. Glad we spent money there and getting video done (wasn’t so big back then).
