Wake up 5:10am
Ever felt like all of your body's energy is being sucked out from the soles of your feet and the tips of your fingers? Ever felt like your eyelids carried two bricks and you were left to struggle to keep them open during the day?
If you relate, you'd understand how I feel on a day like today. Why haven't you been sleeping enough, Heather? Don't you know sleep is possibly the most important part of looking and feeling your best on your wedding day?! The answer is ridiculous, has 4 paws, and is covered in fluff. My lovely little neighbors moved in about 4 months ago and lived there quietly all this time until that fateful day they brought home two yapping Pomeranian dogs. I consider myself a dog person, so I understand that they are part of the family, are great running partners, protectors, etc. My personal opinion though is that if the dog can be punted like a football, it doesn't qualify as a fully-functioning dog. These little fluffy balls downstairs have decided to start their yapping around 7:30pm or so, and continue to yap until 12:30am. When I wake up at 4:45am or 5:10am every day, those few hours of rest just won't cut it for me.
Today I decided that, since I have already discussed the issue with my landlord, it would be best to take matters into my own hands and write a note for them. I've met these people before, they are lovely, but their little dogs are certainly not. My note reads, "Dear Neighbors, We all love dogs, and we are sure your little puppies are lovable bundles of fluff...but the barking every night until 10:30pm or later needs to stop. Please do something to solve this problem, your neighbors will greatly appreciate it. Management has been notified. Thank you! - Your tired neighbors" Harmless right? I didn't sign my name because I'm not looking to pick a fight with these little people, I just want some decent rest. I know I'm not the only one, my other neighbor directly next door to them was pounding on their door the other night, making sure to share her frustration...only to excite the dogs more and find out that the residents were probably not even home, hence the repetitive yapping.
Good thing it's Rest Day! I think I'll take this opportunity to discuss the importance of rest on the body. Check out this helpful diagram!
WORKOUT
For Wednesday's workout, I tried this fun abs/obliques circuit! I was sore yesterday from it, so you know it's good!
Recalling the diet for the past 3 days gets tricky for you and I both to keep up with. I didn't really stray far from the normal meals actually. I made Eggs in the Grass a couple mornings and I made a delicious Garlic Chicken Penne the other night that was out of this world. More details on that to come!!
Bedtime - shooting for anytime BEFORE 12:00am tomorrow morning. Hopefully the yappers will shut their trappers.
Have some motivation to add? Comment below!
