Saturday Summary
It’s a
holiday! Woo! It’s also Saturday. Double woo. In light of my #crunchylesson
earlier this week, my holiday plans changed a bit. No matter, I’m a firm
believer that things happen as they should, so there’s probably a very real and
important reason that my ass will be spending this holiday in my lab tapping
and at the gym lifting.
What a
week. Monday’s Rest Day was fruitful – I picked up almost twenty books from the
biblioteka and came home to a super awesome postcard from Premo. Gorging on
novels is totally part of the writing process, right? Of course it is! So far
this week, I’ve read two – What Alice Forgot and Room. Both were interesting,
engaging, and offered me insight into my own work. Tuesday’s return to the gym
always feels a bit like that cat meme from yesterday. Except there were no open
mills, so I ended up climbing stairs for what felt like a lifetime to get my
cardio in #liftinggirlproblems With the start of July and the beginning of this
new fitness/mental phase on Wednesday, I really attacked my lifts mid-week. And
they sucked. Like the whole session was tougher than it’s been in a while. I’m
not sure why, but every day can’t be a rock-star day. On Thursday, I woke to my
hand holding a pen – yes, I sleep with a pen, a notebook and a novel in my bed
– writing invisible words in the air. I have the plot lines for the next two
manuscripts! So that’s super boss. It’s a pretty safe bet to assume my mind is
either on my writing or my lifting pretty much ALL of the time. Ha! I made up
for the lackluster lifting session yesterday with some great progress on my
deads and my front bar squats, and managed to spill chalk all over everywhere.
Ooops. Today is metcon day … ropes and box jumps and sprints and all things
conditioning. #plyolove I anticipate making excellent progress on round 2 of
complete revisions and attacking my new work with zeal. It’s not every day I
get to indulge myself in a day of writing and metcon work. I’m planning to
savor each moment, and enjoy it every step (jump, tap, lunge) of the way.
