Not in the Zone.
I am just not in the zone this week.
I feel a little off ballance. Its not a big deal... I'm not eating great (binged a little on some brownies and vanilla ice cream last night along with cereal, an atkins mini frozen pizza and a pb and honey sandwich... ouch)... which is more than half of my problem... especially since I was supposed to be starting the new eating program today (uh... that didn't happen in case you were wondering). So I'm feelin' lazy, not with it... didn't really put my heart into my boot-camp workout today (a workout which I will fondly label "Lunge Madness" for lack of a better description).
I'm in a kind of funk... not a depressive funk... just a sort of stagnant funk. I certainly haven't "hit the wall" so to speak. I'm not over training, I'm enjoying my workouts and geting plenty of sleep. I think my subconscious brain is wanting to flip to "lazy days of summer" mode and I'm having to fight it off. The problem is that I'm not being very successful at fighting it off right now... but I'm not really trying very hard either.
I'm not really focused on my goals right now either which is certainly part of the problem. I don't really feel the need to be focused on them either. I'm coasting it seems...
peaks and valleys, peaks and valleys... such is life. Kindergarten field trip chaperoning tomorrow and then a 5 miler (hopefully!) Boot Camp on Friday and maybe this weekend I'll get myself refocused on clean eating once again and begin anew on Monday... we shal see.

Thanks for the wake up comment. You're right. I won't get where I want to be unless I do something about it. I guess you have a sweet tooth and junk food cravings too. ahha. I hope you get back on track soon!

Just as you said, peaks & valleys... and some flatlands in between. You'll be fine! I tend to agree with Nuni about the holiday weekend causing the lack of focus. They always push me off track, too. Not that I've been anywhere near the track lately, but oh well. :) I know if anyone can stick to her goals and accomplish her dreams, it's you, Brenna!

Maybe it's the short week that's doing it. Long weekends always mess me up when I get back to work- somehow the days seem to drag more and I lose a lot of steam. Not that I'd turn down a holiday...
The chaperoning gig sounds like a lot of fun. Have a good time, and I can't wait to hear about the 5-mile loop. And btw, I hate getting cheated out of miles like that! I had a bike run that I thought was 3 miles and it turned out to be 2.47- made me sad, it did.
