It's been two weeks since the bar. I've worked out twice. Working out only twice in 14 days hasn't happened since I was in Europe last summer and that was all I could get in. So what's the deal now?
Well, to be honest, I have nothing to do.
And when I have nothing to do, I do nothing.
When I had an 8 hour day at work followed by 3 hours at class or some variant of that schedule M-F this semester, I had no problem getting to the gym. I would come home, change, and head back out the door. Didn't have a problem with it. That was just my routine. That's what I did.
But when I have nothing to do besides lay around all day, and maybe run to the post office? I can't seem to manage it.
And the half marathon is in 4 weeks.
This is bad. Very bad.
I am doing the same damn thing. Worked out twice since the bar. No job in sight. Need to get a part time job or something but I cant think of any part time job that wouldnt be depressing after being in school so long.
ReplyDeleteI'm the same way. When I was unemployed it was like pulling teeth for me to run 3 days a week. I was doing couch to 5k, those runs were for like 20 minutes. Somehow, I couldn't fit 20 minutes of running into my packed schedule of watching tv and feeling sorry for myself...oh and of course stuffing my face with brownies, ice cream, etc. Now, I get up at 5:30 am to get a run in before work. 4 days a week. Just because we're smart girls doesn't mean that what we do makes any sense!
ReplyDeleteI love your blog....I'm a recent law grad too who also seems to skip the gym everyday because it's very hard to get off the couch when you really don't have to be anywhere.
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait to have nothing to do again... ie, go back to school. It's my last semester. I am looking forward to getting a ton of blogging and facebook stalking done during class, followed by ploppin my ass on the couch after class and watching a ton of TV and Netflix movies. Awesomeness.
ReplyDeleteIt is just so much easier when you have a schedule!! Otherwise, at least for me, nothing gets done. The busier I am, the more efficient I am!
ReplyDeleteAnd get your booty in gear girl, one month from TODAY!! :) I will get to see you that weekend, right?!?!
I agree with d.a.r. it's much easier with a schedule! But if you have just 4 weeks till the half you better get your tush in gear lady! Good luck! :)
ReplyDeleteIt is much easier with a schedule, but the gym is fabulous and can break up a long streak of monotony and you can meet so many people there! I once met a guy who lived in Germany for 6 years because his dad was a two star general in the army. We ended up dating for a little while and he's still an amazing friend. So, who knows...maybe you'll meet an amazing friend or maybe even someone who can offer you a job.
