Oh Man! I am in full Christmas Cheer Mode. One week till Christmas Eve, are you kidding me?! It's going to be gone before I know it. Gotta soak it up while I can!
Now with all that Christmas Cheer I have, one would think I spent my weekend doing awesome Holiday Festivities..but I didn't. I have no fun updates from the weekend. Like zero, nada, null... you get the idea. Brad and I were lazy - as in spent almost 10 hours on the couch Saturday and close to that same amount on Sunday. We watched movies and enjoyed our Christmas tree and fireplace! Real cool 20somethings, I know.
More or less my view for the entire weekend.
I must say, I definitely needed the rest. I was still working on getting over a cold and just plain tired. We knew going into the weekend we wanted to be low key. However, by the end of it, I somehow felt even more lethargic than before I started the resting period. My evening workouts were sub-par and my body felt like I was a bear coming out of hibernation; it just didn't want to cooperate. And even though I forced myself through a good ab workout and cardio on Saturday including a 3 min. plank and a deck of cards workout and cardio on Sunday, it felt like I was just going through the motions,
It made me realize that rest is a good thing, but only in moderation. Kind of like everything else in life, I suppose. It also made me understand how easy it is to make being lazy a habit. Being that sedentary, not only affects your body, but it also affects your mind. It made me lose motivation to be productive and also made my body sore and stiff - which did not help my already lacking motivation. It was a good lesson for me and forced me to get my butt up for an early morning cardio session before work so I can go to dinner with this little lady, her mom, and her kiddo. That was until Brad and I blew a fuse in our apartment's fitness center. Who knew having two treadmills going at a running pace kills the power?!
Brad's highlight
Cheers to the Countdown to Christmas!
