This weekend FI and I had to pack our things to move out of our apartments. I HATE packing. It's even worse because we haven't even moved anything in to our new apartments, it's all in storage waiting to be moved again next week. Anyway, because of the very busy weekend, packing all the dishes, lots of time on the road etc. I had more fast food this weekend than I've had all summer. Between Saturday morning and Monday night (I'm including Monday because I didn't work) we had. Hardee's 3 times, Sonic once, Krystal once, Wendy's once, McDonalds once, Cookout once (yes, I got a milkshake too), and Chic-fil-A once. The only "meal" we had that wasn't fast food was cereal on Monday morning. This is horrible! I know we were busy and pressed for time but I can't believe we had that much fast food in one weekend.
Yesterday should have been Week 2 Day 1 of C25K. I was at FI's apartment in Greenville. I have a pair of running shoes at each apartment so I don't have to worry about packing/leaving them at either place. When I was ready to run I found out FI had already packed my running shoes up and they are in storage in Raleigh. I did do some random leg, ab workouts for about 15-20 minutes.
We packed/moved/cleaned 10 am-8 pm Saturday and 10 am-6pm Sunday. On our way back to Asheville and Greenville Sunday night we stopped for a quick dinner (Wendy's). I had to continue on 40 and FI got on 85, about 30-45 mins later my car started to overheat and my battery and E-break lights came on. I had to let my car cool on the side of 40 at 10:30 at nights alone. I was really scared. I finally got my car to the nearest exit in Statesville to wait for FI. We looked at my car and noticed a belt had broken and was hanging below my car (it was the alternator belt). Nothing was open so we drove back to Greenville. We got there at 2 am, I was supposed to be at work in Asheville at 5 am. I slept for 2 hours, called out of work, slept for 2 more hours then got up for the trek back to Statesville to take my car to get repaired. FI had to get back to Greenville so he could work a half day. We got to Statesville to pick my car up around 8:00 pm. About 20 mins down the road (after FI had went his own way to Greenville, again) my car started to overheat badly again. FI came to my rescue again. We decided that we were not going to leave my car 2 hours from either destination again since we spent so much time dealing with it Sunday night and Monday. We were just going to drive it little by little, expecting to arrive in Asheville around 3 am. I decided I wouldn't go to sleep since I get up for work at 3:30 anyway. Luckily we only had to stop to let the car cool down once. FI tightened the radiator cap really well (we noticed that the rubber piece inside it is slightly torn, causing water to spray out instead of circulating) and we arrive in Ashevill a little after 1 am. Luckily I got to sleep about 2 hours before I had to get up for work.
Somehow I'm still going kind of strong...I plan on going to bed early tonight though!
