That's Life

As we all know, keeping active and eating well is part of a lifestyle, not a temporary plan or diet. With that being said, sometimes life has its ups and downs, as do plans and intentions.

We certainly have made being overall healthier people a priority, but it has taken a little bit of a backseat lately. Saturday was really the last time we were active, but it wasn't the normal level of activity we would have done - i.e. WODs or a long run. Sunday was kind of a planned rest day, but also had the potential to do something, but the darn heat has been brutal, even early. Sleep is also essential and I hadn't been getting enough of it.

Monday came and I was so exhausted from waking up at 1am with a cough and not feeling so hot, so I couldn't force myself out of bed early enough, but unfortunately couldn't fall back asleep. Originally had plans to run that evening or go to the RAC, but I ended up staying in to rest as I had already worked from home after I went to the doctor earlier that day. Sometimes rest does really help.  I loaded up on vitamins and supplements, etc and got a good night's sleep, however, I felt like I could have slept all day.

Today I felt a little worse and thought that maybe a good sweat would help (but I've also read otherwise), but still felt below par when I got home and Chad had gotten home later than usual and we still needed to get things to make dinner and load up on supplies for Floyd Fest. Chad went to Kroger and got stuff for dinner (made this once before and it was AWESOME), brought it back, then left for WalMart to get the majority of the stuff for Floyd Fest while I made dinner.

It's now past 8 and we still haven't eaten dinner, however, we're about to. Can't be too down on ourselves for not being as active as normal due to life circumstances, but know that it cannot become a habit. Being healthy is a habit and it's one we need to make more of a priority. *Hoping* to do some sort of workout tomorrow, but if not...

BollardWODSquad plans on doing some WODs and running while at Floyd Fest as the temperatures are going to be quite wonderful. Looking forward to that and I will try and post if I can. If not, look for some posts upon our return next week!

Cheers!
