Anyway, point of my title...It has been seriously hard, what with the holidays and illness to keep on track with my workouts/running.
I so wish temps would warm up so I can run outside again..but, doing so in single digit temps, not happening..thus, I must find time to get to the gym.
I feel like a nag with hubby lately...seems every time I have a gym session planned, something comes up, I can't go...
It is now Friday, I have only been one time this week. So, tonight, I am hitting it and hitting it hard. Last week....I managed to only run 15 miles...One night I ran 8, then I ran 4 and on Sunday I ran 3. Strength trained my arms once, my legs once.
This week, as I said, I have only ran once...4 measly lame miles....I am going to tonight for a 6 miler and then I am going to spend at least an hour on my abs and my legs.
I would like to run 10 miles tomorrow morning and another 4 on Sunday. If the time factor can be worked out. Hubby and I have been bickering and pretty much getting on each others nerves all week. I have been under a tremendous amount of stress, plus PMS and I have been taking it out on him...which is wrong, but for some reason....everything has been getting on my nerves...and my temper has been very short. He doesn't understand the PMS thing, he says that is just an "excuse"..but, I have never been one to use that as an excuse...it is just that as I have gotten older, about a week or so before "that monthly visit"...my emotions/hormones are all over the place...
I wish I could deny that is the culprit....kind of like this picture...
Even though hubby doesn't understand...SINCE HE IS A MAN!!!!!!.....I have got to find a way to reign in this raging hormonal beast inside of me....so, going to the gym will help that...for every mile I pound out on that treadmill, the exercise endorphins kick in, I start to feel the tension sweat out of me, by the time I leave the gym, I am on an exercise high, generally feel much better about myself and can tolerate others a little easier.
I admit it though, I have been a raging bitch this week...I don't like that..hubby and I are totally "out of sync" with one another...and I want to fix it. I have tried, but then he says or does something, or vice versa, and we are right back at it again...He is working tonight, I will be home alone...so, maybe some "me" time, along with the earlier gym time, will help mellow me out quite a bit...then hubby and I can try and reconnect and fix all the tension that is between us...
As I said in my earlier post...a vacation to escape these winter blues, is seriously in order. I can not wait until I get my tax check back...just a few more weeks, I can file, bills can be caught up and hubby and I can plan on getting a way....a cruise would be nice. We have in fact talked about that a great deal...seems it is a great value for the money you spend. As anyone reading this blog ever taken a cruise? If you have...which cruise line did you use, what amenities did they offer, where did you go? Was it worth it? Did you have a good time? Please leave me a comment, or send me an email, so that I can pass that info on to the hubs...he is seriously wanting to schedule something like that for us....
Well, I am out of here....Hope you all have a terrific weekend!

I think exercise is a great way to work out the monthly issues. As I get older my monthly visits are sooner than later every month and they are brutal.
I thought loosing weight would help, I thought exercise would help, but alas I still struggle.
Your situation causes lots of stress between you and hubby.
I think things will mellow out soon.

Thanks Sicilian..yes, exercise helps me tremendously..seriously, almost like an addiction for me at times...I have been noticing changes with my cycle too...sucks.
The hubby and I made up, things are good again. You were right.
