Day 9 - Never Surrender

In keeping with the "song lyrics for blog titles" them - today's is with thanks to Corey Hart. (Needed to fit in some Can-Con somewhere!)

This is a bit of a frazzley week. (Don't even care that 'frazzley' isn't a word. You know what I mean).
1) We just found out we've got to move in a month and a half

2) We don't even have time to pack/plan/look for a place because we're about to go away for two weeks, (and anyone who's ever taken a vacation from work knows that it's not REALLY a vacation, because all the work you WOULD do in that time, has to be done before you go anyway!),

3) Tour de Rock is in town (which is totally awesome and I'm cheering them on with all I've got left in the tank!)

4) And today apparently I'm going to be part of a documentary/film about radio! (Oh yes, I still haven't had a chance to shower from this morning's FitCamp because we had a Tour de Rock event... and there's a film crew on their way... ACK!)

Believe it or not, workouts this week are more important than ever, but not for the reason you might think. The other day I mentioned how you can't take personal stuff to the gym. Well as this little vortex of stress temporarily tries to take over, I'm finding myself actually craving time at the gym to escape it. While I still don't look forward to the 5am wake-up call, I DO look forward to my hour away from reality, when the only thing that matters is whatever Megan and Chris are telling us to do.

It's SO easy to make the excuses of "I'm too busy, I'm too stressed, I just can't fit in a workout if I tried!". Know how I know that? Because I've been saying it for years. "Oh I couldn't find a spare minute if my life depended on it...". Well someday your life MIGHT depend on it - but hopefully you can find the time before it gets to that point.

No big revelations, or life lessons today - just gratitude for the Bodynetix crew and classmates who give me a place to 'get away' every morning. When you can clear your brain first thing, it sure makes the rest of the day less stressful, regardless of what your facing - because you take your workout with you.

When you're going through a circuit, you can't think about every single station that you're about to face because you'll just get completely overwhelmed. You can only deal with the one you're doing at that very moment. And when that one's dealt with - you move on to the next. That's how I'm facing this list the universe is putting in front of me right now. One station at a time. Deal. Move on.

A huge thank you to those of you reading and commenting as well. You will never know how much it means to know that there are people on the other side of this keyboard. Back at it with a more focused 'work-out' oriented post tomorrow. Promise!
