*CEO- Cumulative Exercise Output. It's not just about one days work, It's about long term success...building & maintaining a life of health, fitness, and self-care.
So I touched on the CEO concept in my last post. It's about not letting the thought of not doing enough get you down. If you try a little bit then that effort was worth it. If you put your all into that 5 minutes of working out or blogging or anything then it's worth it. Completely NOT a waste of time.
The work out book I bought is really an interesting read and it's the simplest idea in the world. It gives you thirty days of work outs and pictures of each exercise and you just follow it. No gym, or equipment. I just have dumbbells and my body weight as resistance. :)
I took Alyssa to her first roller derby game to watch our neighbor Asa kick some butt. It was so entertaining and I am happy to say I let Alyssa experience it. And more in the future for sure! I want to join but I'm a sissy and I'm not sure how much of a commitment it would be.
I've been going out at least once a week after Aly is in bed. And babysitting for Asa on other nights. It's so nice having someone to switch of babysitting days with. I have to call her and see whats up for this weekend too! Yes I've procrastinated til this late. >.<
This weekend is Juices' show at Water Street. It's so freaking cool hearing his bands name in an ad on the radio over and over all day long. Woo! I'm so proud of him and his band. I'm excited to go have fun too.
I feel like I can handle whatever is thrown at me from now on. I've had a shit social life. Shit roommates. Shit situations at work. And now I know I can be a bit of a bitch in order to get whats right done. (Whats RIGHT. Not what YOU want ex-roommate. I'm proud of myself for not crying to administration everytime something doesn't go my way.)
In all this I lost a good friend. But everyone told me she was psycho from the beginning. 6 people at work warned me. 6! Saying "NO DON'T MOVE IN WITH HER!" Why I didn't listen? Not sure, I figured I was immune to this person's mental breakdowns. But I guess when you want what you want, some people go to great lenghts. Even if it makes them look crazy/weak/ugly inside.
Alas, now the house doesn't smell like dog shit and there aren't thongs in the living room every morning!! I have a home again.
Vent much? I guess so.
Anyway, I'm tired. Sleep well lovelies.
