My workout routine has been so odd lately. I don't like it at all. We've been so busy -- lots of cool things are going on like vacations, weddings, parties, and general friend dates. I've been eating sort of better -- and have cut my alcohol intake a lot in the past two weeks, but I feel like I can't stick to my workout schedule. Damn that needing to make money and find a job! ;) I have been prioritizing it less in the last few weeks, which is such a departure from how it was before we went to Hawaii. I'm not sure I'm busier now, but there's something going on for sure.
I keep going back to the idea of working out in the morning. BUT, given my previous not-so-positive experience with that, and the fact that in order for it to really work I'd have to get into bed at a reasonable hour and not fall asleep on the couch, I'm not sure it's the best idea.
I'm not sure if I'm liking the alternating weeks of Insanity and P90X2. I'm a little concerned that I'm not getting the benefits of both as much as I thought. I wonder if that's part of the reason I'm not as motivated to stick to my schedule. It's something for me to think about this weekend when I'm purposefully not making plans other than to work on my to do list.
I also have been running -- badly. I can't keep a good pace, I'm worn out so quickly, it's a hot mess when I run.
Okay, complaining post done. ;)

Fatigue Part 2
I wrote about fatigue once before (here) -- way back in January in which I worked out in the evening and then again the next morning. The fatigue I am feeling now is of a whole different breed.
It's the fatigue from a week of vacation and then two weeks of weddings and parties (including lots of alcohol and rich foods!). From stress with my upcoming graduation and the party to celebrate it. From stress of job searching, and feeling that the search is going nowhere. From trying to remember that not everything can be solved and that it's not all my responsibility to fix things.
All this to say that working out is hard. I'm pushing myself through the workouts -- increasing my weight and reps -- but I want to stop and rest a lot more (especially during Plyocide, but that's normal). Next week I'm doing an Insanity Week, so we'll see how that goes. If nothing else, it will be a change of pace -- talk about muscle confusion!
