I'm Tri'ing

Today marks 1 month since I purposefully quit my job.  There is definitely more down time than what I would prefer however I'm enjoying: Plenty of time for working out Home cooked meals for the hubby most nights (leftovers on other nights) Sticking to my workout plan Sticking to healthy eating Keeping the house 'show" ready for that potential buyer, that I know is out there Reading a book that I've had for 2 years and only get to read when flying Spending extra time with our doggie daughter Spending extra time with my hubby Relaxing Mentally healing I'm still impatient so that is a work in progress.

Decided to move workouts back by a day and cancel Sunday as a day off, besides I took New Years day off, as planned. Had a good workout today, still sticking to my running, biking, HITT plan but added strength training in starting today.  My bike wasn't as long as I wanted it to be but doing something is what I take as a positive. I decided my goals/objectives for 2019 are simple: Live a healthier life! There is a lot of things behind that statement, I recently posted the below on FB and I want to ensure that every day, week, month and year I'm striving to improve my life - mentally, physical, relationships, etc. ...
