Day 19 of Challenge #1 – Create A Deadline

It came to no one’s surprise that come Friday, I was ready for the work week to be over. The cold, snowy day mirrored my mood. I was very grateful, though, to have a lunch scheduled mid-day with some of my recent co-workers. They might not have showed up, but for the fact that it was the start of restaurant week. We were all looking forward to take advantage of the more affordable menu at a highly-rated restaurant. Let me tell you, it was a relief to see their smiling faces while enjoying food. I think food makes EVERYTHING better (hence why that’ll most likely be the focus of Challenge #2).

Meanwhile, Hubby was desperate to cheer me up and suggested going to see Bad Boys For Life that night. I’m all for an action movie and we don’t go out to the movie theater that often, so I happily agreed to date night. Hubby decided on a late-night showing and booked tickets to a 9 PM showing (yay for advanced seat selection!).

This meant that as soon as 5 PM hit, we had to hustle to get everything done before 9 PM. We had to get home, work out, shower, eat, and walk the pup, all before heading out. If we didn’t have evening plans, we would have dillydallied and took our time to complete our goals/tasks/what have you. Yet with a deadline, there is a sense of ease to getting things done because you don’t have time to re-think or hold off on doing something. There’s just more of a ‘go-go-go’ mentality attached to an imminent deadline and go-go-go we did. Check out our Friday workouts below!

I did the elliptical on Friday, Hubby did weights because he had a Racquetball session
scheduled for Saturday.
