I attempted to workout....

For the past several months I have been extremely lazy in terms of my workout schedule. You know the holidays... lots of family time, lots of food, and lots of drinks. It starts with Thanksgiving and goes all the way through New Years. Well, if I had any motivation, I am sure that I could have kept up with things and stayed in shape. Unfortunately that did not happen. While I was in FL enjoying the fabulous weather that we had, I felt like I would rather sit at the beach and read and relax rather than go biking or running or swimming. I feel terrible saying that, but oh well. :)

I just signed up for a race in the beginning of March, the St. Patty's Day 10k, so now I have something to look forward to and train for. I also saw that a few triathlons that I am looking forward to have set their dates. So all of that, leads me to why I only attempted to workout today. I had some really junky fried food for lunch today which was not really what I wanted anyway. So about 3:00 this afternoon, I could tell that the junk that I had eaten was not agreeing with me. Of course it had to be on the first day that I was going to start going back to the gym...

I got home from work and I was feeling a bit better, so I decided that it would be a good idea to go workout. I thought I would warm-up on the bike, let me repeat that I was only going to warm-up! I decided to push it a little bit after I felt pretty warmed up, but after a few minutes, I felt awful. Even worse than I felt this afternoon. I decided that the smart thing to do would be to call it quits and come back on Thursday. That and maybe its a good idea to skip the fried foods at lunch time...
