Always Something.

There is always something.  There will always be something that has the potential to slow down progress or derail plans.

The last few months I've easily found that "something".  September and October was football season.  My youngest sons practice and game schedule did not meet up with my Crossfit schedule.  I actually let that derail me.  It was a set back.

But once that season was past I got back on track.  I'm in a regular schedule again.  It's been awesome.  Even in November, when I had signed up with Nanowrimo to be a Municipal Liaison and really commit to writing a novel.  I didn't let that become a time sink for me.  I made my priority -  myself.

Thanksgiving week didn't even derail me this year.  I may not have made it to the gym, but I did plot out a one mile and a two miles course through the neighborhood.  I set baseline times on each walk and logged a lot of steps.  Lots of room for improvement there.  And I learned which socks not to wear with my walking shoes.  So, you know, silver lining.

Now I have another wrench being thrown in the works.  For a brief 6 week time period, my oldest son has a schedule that will mess with my gym schedule.  But I think I've figured out that it's only a few days a week that it's a slight problem.  And it's only a slight problem.  So I go to the unloaded class instead of my normal Crossfit class.  I can also do some rowing, and some shoulder work, and the prescribed accessory work.  Maybe this is a good thing.  

One thing I am learning is that I need to be a little more flexible.  I'm made for living on a time table.  Perhaps I need to loosen up a bit.

Starting now.

Let's see how this goes!
