Day 5 – The Struggle Is Real!

So, here I was thinking that my mood would improve from yesterday, and even though the day went well and I was still getting everything done, I still just wasn’t into it.  I still sort of working solely on autopilot today.

The morning workout  was another Circuit Training day with a series of planks and Seated Russian Twists for core work.  It wasn’t bad, but I wasn’t excited either…I think that was the problem, just wasn’t excited about anything.

Afternoon cardio was a 60 minute ruck with a 10 pound pack.  For this I went to my usual park, but chose to use the nature trails instead of the paved walking/running path.  This slowed me down some, so my distance was still 2.6 miles in 60 minutes, however it did provide a sense of variety which was nice.  Different paths, different scenery, and you’d be surprised how heavy 10 pounds feels after wearing for an hour!

Some of my time at the park got interrupted by a last minute errand, so I had to squeeze in some of my tasks later in the day that usual, but still got through it.  I’m getting  resourceful these days, making sure I watch my Master Class video while waiting for the children, etc.  Truly multi-tasking, which is not usually in my nature…so that part of me is a little surprising to find, but I like it!

I’m not getting quite as much work completed as I’d like, but I’m still at least getting some done…so there’s that.  I’ve also been able to make sure I don’t fall further behind, or fall behind to begin with on all of my bible studies, which feels good too!

Still, even though I’m feeling much better about it at the end of the day, like I can see how it was actually a really good day, I’m still trying to figure out the blah nature I felt this morning through mid-day.  Is it just tired?  Is it something else?  I don’t know, but I do know…The Struggle Is Real!  LOL

Have a great day friends!
