Today has gone so quickly I can hardly believe it. And, not a minute of brisk walking or other real exercise. My body is feeling the lack. My muscles are hungry for work. Since it’s 9:30 at night, I think it best to let it go for tonight. Exercise too close to bedtime keeps me awake.
What did I do with my day? I gave my body its routine morning care including breakfast. I spent a few hours working for money and talking with a friend. Then lunch and off for an afternoon at my friend’s farm. A couple of errands, dinner, a class, and now blogging. All while being available for or engaged with my nine year old son. A full day and, yet, nothing really unusual happened.
This is how I lose attention to my physical body in the form of exercise. The days are full -especially given my role as mother and earner of money, along with the regular stuff. A whole day and no exercise. I’m not complaining. The choices of time allocation were largely mine.
On the plus side, I was fed by friendships today. As I breathe through an emotionally difficult time, my soul needs the nourishment of Love from my friends. In that regard, my being was well attended to today.
Tomorrow, I’ll see if I can have both.
How I did today:
1. Sleep - 7.5 hours last night
2. Exercise - none – just some low key farm work
3. Strength training - not yet
4. Yoga – nope
5. Meditation – 10 minutes as soon as I finish writing
6. Food – chili for breakfast and dinner, bacon, eggs and hash browns for lunch. Not so good for veggies and fruits though I ate 3 apples! 2 servings of chocolate
