I didn't get a chance to post my weekly exercise challenge results yesterday. I don't have the exact numbers at the moment but I can say that I didn't come close on the run distance or overall time. Usually I don't think sitting on the couch watching TV is a good excuse to not exercising but last week it was. My husband's mother has been battling cancer this year and passed away Saturday. Last week we knew the end was near and I felt like I was being more useful watching TV and talking with Bill than I would have been on the treadmill. This week probably won't go much better but that is OK.
On top of his mom, we also lost his sister's father-in-law the week before and my aunt has only been given a couple days. It has not been a happy few weeks for our families but I've been overwhelmed by the support from our friends. It has meant so much. Today I went into work for half a day and one of my co-workers brought in a taco dip (vegan!) for me to take home so we'd have something to eat around the house while we made all the funeral arrangements. I've only been at this job for 5 months but I have made such good friends already. They have really been thoughtful and supportive and I can't begin to express my gratitude.
Blurry but delicious taco dip
The only positive exercise accomplishment I had last week was that I did my plank challenge every day. I was amazed on Friday when I held it for 1.5 minutes. I never thought I could do that! Unfortunately tonight I was supposed to do 2 minutes but I completely collapsed at 1 minute 32 seconds. I've decided to keep trying to reach the 2 minutes. When I do, I'll continue the challenges from there so it will definitely take me longer than 30 days. On the bright side, Bill tried it with me tonight and only made it 27 seconds so I feel pretty good about my time!
