I was awake by 7:30AM this morning and was happy to have my groceries that were delivered yesterday. I had my peanut butter on toast with a delicious pineapple, orange, lime juice. Then...well, I would like to say I ran some errands and did my strength training, but I did not. I was really in a funk today and didn't want to do much of anything.
I did some various work and research on my computer, watched some movies, and took a nap. I would like to blame the snow outside for not wanting to go for a walk, but really, I just didn't want to do anything. So I didn't. Joe and I did go to our friend, Issac and Courtney's, place for dinner and games and had some fun. Now that we are back home, I yet again feel tired.
So before I get down on myself, here are my successes for the day:
1. I woke up when my body told me to wake up and didn't force it to sleep another 4 hours.
2. I easily got back into eating my healthy organic foods that were waiting for me.
3. I ate a good number of fruits and veggies today.
4. We had fajitas for dinner and I made myself one with chicken and one with just veggies.
5. Before I go to bed, I am going to prepare my gym bag for aquatics tomorrow.
You see, while I know today wasn't perfect, I have to continue to forgive myself a little more. Getting back on track isn't always easy and sometimes it's better to focus on the little successes first. Tomorrow, I look forward to getting back into my activity. I can't wait to go to aquatics. It's so much fun, and I have missed it. I hope the early morning class will motivate me throughout the rest of the day, but I will make sure to keep my hopes at bay and go with the flow. I also plan to rewatch the documentary, "Hungry for Change". For some reason it really motivates me and I think tomorrow will be a good time cue it up on Netflix. I also plan to get back into reading again. Motivation takes many forms and I plan to expose myself to a number of them to get myself back on track.
You should read Wild by Cheryl Strayed. It's got me thinking about going on a big hike for like a week!
