2 Days Down

2 days of running that is!

Last night I was so tired and my body was hurting so when I went to bed at 11 I didn`t expect to be able to wake up at 6:00 so I turned that alarm off and set one for 6:45 when Koichi wanted to wake up. Imagine my surprise when my eyes popped open at 6:00 and I felt great. I wasn`t groggy and longing for more sleep! I checked my phone and did the usual morning routine, Facebook, email, etc and then I decided to go ahead and get my run in for the day. It felt great outside at 6:something before there were too many cars on the street and people on the sidewalks. It`s amazing the difference an hour or two makes when it comes to things like that!

After my run I made Koichi`s breakfast and lunch and then my breakfast. Now I`m blogging and it`s not even 8:00 yet! I`m hoping to get to bed no later than 11 again tonight and hopefully feel this energetic again tomorrow.

Goal Recap

Running: 2 for 2!

Eating: Overall I think I did pretty good yesterday. I did mess up a bit when I came home last night and ate an Oreo or 2. Ok fine, I ate 3 Oreos. I had even packed grapes and put them in my office freezer so I could grab them after class to snack on before dinner, but I forgot them when I left so they`ll be a snack for today.

Cleaning: got a bit done yesterday. I`m nowhere near finished, but there is a noticeable difference, at least to me there is!

Studying: I didn`t study at all yesterday. I`m actually thinking as soon as I hit publish on this post I`ll grab my book and study for a bit this morning.

This week`s goals

Goal #1 -　ｒｕｎ It`s Monday morning here and I`ve got my first run of the week done! My goal is to get out and run everyday this week M-F and maybe on Saturday too. From Saturday I`m going on a 2 night camping trip with 14 students from the English conversation school where I work. I`m hoping it will be fun, but who knows... This morning I set my alarm for 6:00 to get out and run before Koichi woke up, but that didn`t happen. I ended up getting out of bed around 7:40. I made breakfast so Koichi could eat and then I packed his lunch while snacking on the watermelon that wouldn`t fit in his lunch box. I considered not running since it was already after 8:00. but I decided to just get out there and do it and now I`m glad I did! Goal #２ -　ｅａｔ　ｈｅａｌｔｈｙ　ｍｅａｌｓ & track food About to make some breakfast now. I`m thinking I`ll make a green smoothie and have 1/4 of an avocado and some sliced tomatoes on the side, may even throw in an egg. Lunch will most likely be chicken taqu...

TGIF

I love Fridays! Thursdays are pretty long for me and I have a few tough classes and then on Friday I have a really easy day with good kids and almost the entire day free. Plus, the weekend is near! Yesterday I was lucky to finish at 4:30 in the afternoon. I had to do some shopping for our upcoming camping trip so I texted my friend Kazuko to see if I could drop by her place. She said yes and I picked up some take out curry and headed over. We had dinner and talked and I played with her kids who are so adorable. It was a nice break from the kids I get to see everyday! I needed to get away from my everyday routine so it was a good visit. Here`s what I`ve got going on today: 1) fold and put away laundry (I`m bad about folding and leaving!) 2) clean kitchen and dining room table 3) Swiffer floors because they`re gritty with volcanic ash 4) exercise at 9:00 (that will make 3 days in a row) 5) Face Time with my sister!! I love planning things to do on the weekends. So far this wee...

Headache -> Cancelled plans

I was supposed to have friends over for a 鍋 (hot-pot) party tonight. I`d invited Kazuko`s family and Miki`s family and we were all looking forward to a fun evening eating, drinking, talking and laughing. Unfortunately I have had a headache since yesterday evening so my plans were cancelled. I thought it would be better when I woke up this morning, but it wasn`t. I went to work at 9:00 for a lesson and thought some coffee would help, but it didn`t. After work I decided to suck it up and go to the gym to work out thinking the exercise would clear my head and take the pain away, but it didn`t. After I came home I discussed with Koichi that I would take some medicine and if my head was still hurting around 3:00pm that I would contact both friends and cancel the evening. Around that time I got a message from Kazuko that her son had a runny nose and that he and her husband would stay home because she didn`t want his germs to spread to Miki`s 8 month old baby. So I made the decision then to g...
