How is it Wednesday already? I am clearly experiencing Healthy Living Summit withdrawal. I have been reading so many new blogs and adding twitter feeds whenever I find a free minute.
Note to self: Update Blogroll
Between that, work and life, I am exhausted. To add to the fun, my little princess has decided at 2.5 that she no longer wants to sleep through the night. Instead she yells "I want you Mommy!" until I take her out of the crib.

Interrupted sleep makes for 0 morning workouts this week. It's sad too because the weather has been nice and I want to run outside. I even programmed a workout in my Garmin for my speed work yesterday morning. However I wound up on a treadmill at lunch. Regardless though, run completed. I did sacrifice lunch though (no time) and a hungry Jen is NOT a happy Jen. Thank God for the
Dancing Deer Fruit and Nut Squares I had brought into work from the HLS swag bag. Really yummy! So, today I am better prepared.

These days anything I can check off as completed makes me happy. With September looming, I have a million things to do that I swore I would do earlier in the summer. Not to mention that I have not studied for my ACE PT certification all month summer. I think September will (have to) be a fresh start. I'm going to start working on some goals and plans for a better, more consistent diet.

With marathon training runs getting longer I'll need to squeeze more run time in. Somehow I also need to be doing some strength workouts. I feel like I have lost so much strength since I stopped doing the
Jamie Eason LiveFit program. With
Super Spartan in two weeks, feeling weaker is not optimal. I just need to start moving. Once I'm going, you can't catch me.
Sharing is caring: Do you become another, more scary person when you are hungry?
Moms: Is it normal for a 2.5 year old to change her sleeping patterns? How do I fix it?
Yes when I am hungry the reality is that I become HANGRY, cranky annoying, and a tad scary. Then it just leads to the other side of not so much.
ReplyDeleteThe other thing is that lack of sleep really messes up my food. I am learning to practice HALT (whenever I feel hungry, angry, lonely and tired) I have to stop. Re-asses what are my basic needs that are calling for my attention, what can I do to address them at this very moment. Practice compassion that for that moment yes indeed I will be a bitch and its ok.
I'm totally a cranky pants when I'm hungry. Darth Husband, back when he was Darth Boyfriend, learned not to ask me questions when I was hungry. Hungry meant no way, no deal, etc. After I was fed, I'd totally be like "Oh yeah that's a great idea!"
