GFTW 4: Control, TRX, and More!
And speaking of lack of control, that's how my body feels when I use my TRX bands above. All my lil' muscles quiver and I feel like an unbalanced fool. But that's why they work- they make you more stable and strong. So I guess my TRX moves can be a good metaphor for how to embrace the outta control variables in life. They suck while going thru the motions, but ultimately make you a stronger person.
So...speaking becoming stronger, here's what I have lined up for my Goals for the Week:
Athlete: Get my 3 days of ST and ~2 Days of TRX in this week. Finish my 2011 Training Game plan
Mom: Dinner together ~3 days this week (sun, mon, thurs)
Home: Choose My Own Adventure: Clean either the back playroom closet, my car, or the living room hutch. They're all disasters!
Health: Meditate on the following: Be an appreciator in my life. Look at that which is valuable rather than worthless
As always, I write these down on a bookmark I keep in my organizer and attempt to review them each morning as I chug my coffee. And that's what I have lined up over here. Now...tell me...What do YOU have lined up for this week? Would LOVE to know. Talk to me, talk to me!

My big plans for this week? Heading to Baxter State Park for a 5 day back country ski trip!! YAY.
This week I'm going to work at being more patient - especially on the subway on my way to/from work!
I'm also someone who likes a good, firm handle on everything in my life. And I struggle a lot when things don't go my way. Like, sulking child, over-consumption of coffee and alcohol struggling. It's great to be reminded that we can learn to live with those feelings without freaking out.
My main goal this week is work: approach my upcoming thesis supervision with pragmatism and positivity.
Here's hoping!
I need to make some decisions about presentations this week. I also really need to take some items to be dry cleaned!
I just have more base training, indoors, being cranky because the windchill makes it feel like -19
PS your children look adorable. high five for being an inspiration to them and others :)
And Flo...uh..now that's a comment that'll make a girl's day! thx!;-)
This week for me, 2x swimming, 2x trx, 3x bike, 3x run, and hopefully some yoga, to calm my body and mind.
Love the Choose your own Adventure!
I love the "choose your own adventure" goal..that just sounds like so much fun!
I love my TRX too and have a trainer 2x/week for it! Kills me!
My goal this week is to remain balanced between work and my kids' activities and Morgan's broken arm appointments! and my training! :)
