Fun for Friday - Week in FRIDAY

Image
By

Right about now I'm trying not to completely stress myself out about the fact that I have not packed for my trip to Long Beach. I have pulled out what I'll sleep in/lounge in, my lifting gloves, iPod, and oatmeal. That has to count for something right?

Because I have travel on the brain, I almost went with travel/vacation for Fun for Friday. But I thought I'd probably end up repeating myself from previous pre-travel posts. Mostly rambling about anxieties and silliness like that. You know, things I can't control and should let go of. 

I decided to use Friday as my inspiration. As in the letters. So here is my week in FRIDAY.

Foodie - While I didn't take time to take pictures other than on my phone for Instagram, we had some really good eats this week. Concoctions thrown together mostly because I haven't had time to make it to the store - like roasted veggies baked with homemade red sauce, quinoa, tofu ricotta, and Daiya. Ugly but tasty! And a tempeh reuben sandwich.


Running - ran 5 miles with Jason for BostonStrongLR on Monday. Got in 6 solo miles Tuesday morning. Then knocked out 10 miles with Amy at a crazy speedy pace on Thursday. Today, 4 with hubby.

Infinite - as in longest week ever. Yet, somehow if felt like it was short too, as in not enough time to get everything done. 

Detailed - I've spent a good amount of time writing out detailed lists for the trip. I was hard at work most evenings adding restaurants and places we might visit to a Google map as well as making notes in a Google doc. 

Anxiety - won't lie, anxious about the trip. Not just packing or itinerary, but the travel itself. Missing my hubby, my comfort zones. 

Yawn - I haven't slept very well. Mostly because of over thinking the trip.

I guess I still brought up the travel huh? So while I am nervous, anxious, not yet-packed, and already missing Jason, I am looking forward to see the ocean, running along the ocean front, spending time with my sis and bestie AND getting to see Jolene! 

Now if only someone would pack for me and just beam me there. 

How's your week been in FRIDAY?

Workout Wednesday - Body Blaster Tabata

By
Happy Hump Day! I wanted to thank everyone for their comments on yesterday's post: Be Kinder to Your Body. Calories are Not the Enemy . It sounds like it resonated with many of you. Today I wanted to share a new workout with you. I've been working on interval workouts for some of my clients. I try to give them the most bang for their buck (time). I know that in an ideal world, we would all have time to do longer workouts. There would never be scheduling conflicts, sick husbands or kids, or sick us. In reality, workouts need to be effective and efficient. And they don't have to be lengthy to be effective and efficient either. There's no need to spend hours in a gym to get in a good workout. Interval workouts like HIIT (High-Intensity Interval Training) or tabata, or even interval running are great ways to get in a fantastic workout in a short amount of time and have many benefits. You can read more about Tabata workouts  here .

Piriformis Update & Grilled Veggie Salad

By
New Piriformis Exercises Today wasn't too terrible for a Monday. Of course, I did leave a little early. That always helps huh ;-) I had another round of physical therapy today. My PT has been really researching piriformis syndrome and found an interesting article that discusses the use of McKenzie Exercises - typically used for back pain. I have started adding in low back extensions (one of the exercises) but now have a whole new list of exercises to add into my workout rotations. But, if it helps, I'll do it. I also asked her about dry needling (thanks Sarena ), which is sort of similar to acupuncture, but is more about trigger point and intramuscular stimulation. And I'm glad I asked because the timing is uncanny. One of the doctor's in the clinic happens to be going to get certified this weekend. They both believe that I am a prime candidate for the procedure. So we'll see how that goes. Kind of scared because I hate hate hate needles. Have any of you tr
