Thursday May 9th
I want to try to restart my 'do all Darebee workouts' challenge. But, last time I got stuck because some workouts were too hard for me or it was too much. So now I change the rules. I like my focus routine, with everyday chosing a focus (strength, yoga, cardio, HIIT). So I'll start with the oldest workouts within my focus. So it'll be not entirely in chronologically order, but it fits in my workout routine.
Today I encountered already the first miss, because I did 'strength & tone' workouts, but the ab workouts are most of the time also a strength one. I have to figure out beforehand if the next ab workout is a strength one or maybe something else like HIIT.

Friday May 17th
Work was .. sort of rough. My manager is pushing/expecting me to pick up extra tasks again, while I've been overloaded already for a long time. He makes it sound easy ('just plan free space in your schedule '), but it would mean that the other tasks are even more postponed or done with less (or even no) quality. I feel unseen, not taken seriously, and even thought like quitting my job came by (but I love my job...).
So when I came home, I just needed to vent, and didn't want to cook, and we went spontaneously out for dinner. I totally forgot that I wanted to go for a run. After dinner I wasn't able to... but I did feel better though.
