Adios January!

I feel like a huge weight has been lifted off my shoulders. January was a bitch of a month. Mostly it had to do with work-related stuff. I wrote my law exam on Friday morning. Whew! I think/hope/ I passed. I will know my grade in about two weeks.

The first thing I did when I got back to the office was toss all my study notes into the recycling bin. Now I can finally exhale and move on to other things. It was a challenge to stay motivated to work the rest of the afternoon.
I treated myself to a bottle of wine and a veg sub from Subway after work. I barely got through the glass of wine. Too tired! I went to bed early so I could get up for Saturday crossfit and a short run.
I don’t go to Saturday WODs often because I like to sleep in one day a week. But I only went three times this week so I figured I might as well go for it. A few of the regular 6 a.m.ers were there so that was nice. Kelly was my partner for this crazy partner WOD.

In a word? Ugh. It was 3,000 metre row, 150 thrusters and 80 pull ups. You know how much I just love rowing (sarcasm). The WOD completely did me in! I still managed to recoup and do some ab work and a 30-minute run on the treadmill. I was starving by the time I got home. 

(Alix writes her time after an earlier WOD this week) 

Typically I will only grab a banana and some water before I head to the gym. I can’t stomach anything at 5 a.m. I would have to get up a couple hours earlier (like I do for running) to ensure I give my body enough time to digest the food.

On the training side, January was not so bad. (I am going to ignore the two weeks of sickness and drop in mileage). I weighed myself at the gym this morning. I am down two pounds. How did that happen? I thought for sure I gained a few pounds due to emotional and stress eating this month. Not so much! I am still about 8 pounds away from my goal-weight. I’ll take slow and steady as long as I get there!

Bring on February, I am so ready for you!
