So, I am very excited to be past that darn 180 barrier. My new goal is to pass the 170 barrier. Ooooh, but I got the workout blues... (sign with me now ya'll).
See, Rick is out of the joint now. He does his own thing - he's involved in P90X. Last time he was doing it, he got really great results. But, as I told him yesterday, that's just not my thing. It's not for me. I think that I know me better than anyone else. I know that if I get too rigid with something, that I will sabotage myself. I know that I prefer cardio to weight lifting, and I could do cardio every day and be quite happy with myself. I know that with weights I work out better with a partner, but Cardio I can do all by my little lonesome and be quite content. I put in the ear buds, and away I go.
Rick's new work schedule allows him close to three hours off in the middle of the day. He knows that I want to do cardio every day, and so does he. So, Monday and Today we have gone together during his lunch hour. He drives all the way back up here from work just do eat lunch at home and go to the gym and do some cardio. The bad part is that two days in a row now, he is just rushing me... he is stressed that he will be late going back to work. Ok, Ok, then don't drive up for this - or, I will go do cardio by myself earlier in the morning and then I won't be the hangup here.
People, this is the way it has always been with Rick - if it's not in his time frame, then suddenly he's going to be late and everything is stressful. If it is in his timeframe then all is happy and smooth. Now, granted, this is just a slight venting - I will not give up on my goals just because he's making my favorite part of the workout feel bleh. But today I just feel like I didn't get what I wanted out of it because it wasn't a stress reliever - it was more stressful to go with him than to go alone.
This is the same thing for the diet, by the way. He's trying to follow my diet, but since he will be doing P90X, my diet won't exactly do him any good. He needs a lot more carbs than what I take in. True, he can adjust a few things... but today I had eaten before He got home - I had my daily snack. It wasn't quite time for lunch, but he needed his lunch before he had to go back to work... so he proceeded to lecture me on the fact that I needed to be eating appropriately with my workout schedule (Like I didn't know that already - I've been doing it for three weeks... I just didn't want to eat that soon following a snack AND a workout).
Ahhh, I am going to have to find a better solution for his working out and my working out on different programs. Any ideas?
