Progression

I've managed to cross a couple of things off my list - namely finishing my essay (last one for this course, hooray!) and seeing my friends in November. At the moment I'm on my elective placement, which is fun and interesting but also exhausting. As usual when I'm learning a lot, I also need to sleep a lot, and with placement all day and coming home at 5pm, my motivation to work out is dimmed a bit.

However, today I made it to the gym (leg session...) and yesterday I made the decision not to go, but to do a home workout of press ups, squats, burpees and crunches instead. So my exercise level is fine, but my motivation is a bit lessened I suppose. Oh well. I'll get through it. Also, I'm ignoring Jamie Eason's dictat not to do cardio in this section because I need to either walk or cycle to get into placement. It's not the biggest cardio challenge, but still. I feel like a rebel. I'm looking forward to Phase 2, for a change as much as anything.

I almost did my 50 let me ins on Sunday (got to 35 and was feeling good), but my mother decided it would be funny to try and tickle me as I did it, so I gave up. Annoying, but maybe I should do exercise where my mother can't sabotage me.

It's a little bit annoying that a lot of these goals can't even be looked at properly until next year/when I have a job. Well, I suppose that's not true, I can do things like crochet a viking hat or learn 1000 words of Italian. Or a lot of the fitness goals can be worked on. I suppose it's just the fun/moving my life forward things that need to wait. 1 month left of my degree.

Hm, kind of downbeat today...good thing I'm going to a self-esteem group tomorrow!
