I Wonder if Methadone Curbs BC Withdrawls.....

Since I (along with my other lovely ladies I work out with) have been going 5 days/week to OK Fit, it has become an obsession.  Like if I don't workout on my day off, I feel guilty.  Or if I don't work out for FOUR days over Spring Break, I have the shakes/can't sleep/have Josh and Terri in my nightmares screaming at me.  Okay, maybe not THAT extreme, but I feel like I have probably gained 10 pounds and my cardiovascular system is shriveling away.  Do you see what this place does to its members?!?!  You feel like your body is literally rotting away if you don't work out at least 5 or 6 days a week!  Curse you, OK Fit!!! :) 

OK Fit was closed Thursday-Sat this week because Josh and Terri wanted to spend time with their kids on Spring Break.  This equals disaster for Katie....because now that I am used to Josh or Terri pushing me to go harder or faster, I totally suck at working out by myself.  TOTALLY. SUCK.
I ran on the treadmill - intervals of 7.0 and 5.0 - for 30 minutes and then did some strength training.  However, at the end, I knew I hadn't pushed hard enough - I didn't feel like I wanted to die/vomit/collapse, so I knew I did not work as hard as I would have at OK Fit. Therefore, I proceeded to throw a pity party for the last 4 days and do nothing but take a walk around my neighborhood with the kids as exercise. 

Soooo....I am looking into some sort of intravenous caffeine therapy tomorrow morning to prepare me for the HELL that awaits me at BC.  It should be fun, folks.   Look for an update this week on how my body is dealing with the shock of having to actually work hard again.  Most likely, there will be tears, vomit, inappropriate bladder issues.......and that will all probably happen on Monday.

If you are a praying individual, throw an extra one in there for me tonight! :)


Here are my kids and I running in the St. Patty's Day Run to benefit Special Olympics - we had a blast dressing up and running for a great cause!

Here are the kids over Spring Break - they went on a business trip with me and had more fun swimming at the hotel pool than anything else!
