Last week was fun and I am pleased to have no regrets. But, now that I’m back in New York City and ready to jump into the month of August, it’s time to get pumped up and back on track with my weekly training.
My travel schedule is in place for the next six weeks and work is going to keep me on my toes.
- August 14th-16th San Francisco
- August 18th-19th Boston for Healthy Living Summit
- August 22nd-24th Chicago
- August 29th-September 3rd Seattle
- September 4th- 8th Los Angeles
In order to make sure that I am ready for the challenge and in the swing of things before travel ramps up, these next two weeks are a huge focus for me. While I did a great job eating healthy while I travelled last week, I didn’t get the sleep that I need and I definitely enjoyed a few to many alcoholic beverages. These next two weeks I’m pumping up the workouts, increasing sleep, keeping my food in check, taking my daily vitamins, and focusing on foam rolling and stretching a bit more.
Today was a perfect start as you can tell from my lunch and my dinner. The dinner, made at 9:45 when I got home from Pure Barre, was put together from start to finish in 5 minutes using ingredients in our refrigerator and pantry!
This week’s workout schedule is as follows:
Monday: 5 miles in Central Park+Pure Barre blogger class
Tuesday: cross training
Wednesday: 5 miles
Thursday: stretching and foam rolling
Friday: 14 mile long run+Physique 57 blogger class
Saturday: 4 miles
Sunday: yoga or light, easy run
Anytime I need to focus on pumping myself up I head over to iTunes and build a new playlist. This one is a keeper and kept me moving, faster than normal, this evening as I ran through Central Park with my co-workers! I hope you enjoy it and find at least one song to add to your mix!
How do you get yourself back into a routine after a break week OR what is your favorite workout song right now?
Sooooo many favorites. Rhianna ‘We Found love’, Kelly ‘Stronger’, Britney ‘I wanna go.’ are go-to’s.
New and uenxpected fave: Brandi Carlisle ‘Dying Day’ (heard it at Dailey Method and fell in love!)
Love that you have Some Nights on there… I stumbled upon it in MSP last week and have been singing it ever since!
You are one busy lady!! Kudos for eating healthy while traveling – that’s totally my downfall. And I just keep telling myself that the first 3 workouts after a break are always the hardest and it will just get easier from there (this might not always be true, but lying to yourself isn’t always a bad thing!).
That’s a great mentality Ashley!
Love the playlist – I will definitely be downloading some of those.
Are you going to LA for Glamorama? (My team handles the live-tweeting etc…)
