I’m Ashley and I’ve been a bad blogger as of late.
Can I make excuses?
Will you forgive me?!
Guys, honestly, my days have been packed.
Some of these days they are packed for the good and some of
them, depending on the week, are packed full of icky.
And I mean I feel bad every day that goes by that I don’t
blog. But it just can’t happen
Last week, well I won’t give last work week more than a few
sentences. It just was not a good week. I’m not going to harp on it. Tears were
shed but it’s over.
Now this week. I’m pretty happy with this week. My client is
pretty low stress. I’m working in downtown Cincy. I have gotten to see my parents
2 nights this week. See my high school girlies (Bailey, Olivia, and Azra) for a
chic sushi dinner in Hyde Park and ice cream at Bay’s after. I’ve been able to
get in my parent’s hot tub. Michael joined my parents and myself for dinner
Monday night. We visited ice cream heaven (Brusters). This week while working
and living “on the road” I am a happy Ashley. And it’s allll good.
Optimism and Joy?! I think so!
And you know what else I haven’t even mentioned yet?! I
haven’t exercised in a full week today. Ok that’s not good news. It’s actually
bad. I had plans of starting my official half marathon training on Monday. But
last Tuesday or Wednesday (can’t remember, week was a blur of ick) I was doing
a circuit workout in the gym at like 6 in the morning. Sometime during that
super intense and awesome workout I did something wrong. And now my back is
jacked. Like I am constantly uncomfortable, even lying down I feel it. So
sitting in conference room chairs that are built for 300 pound men does not do
my petite frame well.
I have used a heating pad multiple times, refrained from
exercise (which is IMPOSSIBLE for me), even had a licensed massage therapist
work on my back, applied icey hot, Lisa rubbed it down for a while. And it just
doesn’t seem to be feeling better. I’m going through workout withdrawals. Plus, I
can’t give myself an excuse to eat that ice cream and not feel bad about it
later, but since I’m used to working out all the time I’m used to burning it
off relatively quickly by working out every day. UGH. So there, I haven’t been
exercising and it’s so annoying. I really don’t want to get behind on my
training plan but here I am already behind. And I guaranty I’ll feel out of
shape on my first couple of runs!
But you know what? It’s hasn’t gotten me down! Not this
week! I have my family and friends to distract me at night. And I think a cold
came along to help me realize to chill too, so my body is appreciating the
extra hour of sleep that I can get in the morning, or more work that I can get
done in the evenings. I mean if you can’t hear out of your right ear and your
back is feeling strained constantly I’m guessing its time to listen to your
body.
Anywho…enough about my body.
I have so much to fill you in on and some pictures to post
but this is getting pretty lengthy and well, I might just try to catch up on a
little tv since I haven’t watched in a week.
Tonight on tap in Cincy fun?! Dinner with my good ol’ J-Boh.
Also, be looking forward to a recipe post. I NEED to make
one this weekend and I have one in mind. Kinda excited about it. I failed at
the whole recipe thing last week.
Also, need to get to reading my February book. I just haven’t
wanted to read after the awesomeness that is the Hunger games, nothing can
compare!
Well goodnight little blog and I hope to see you shortly!
