I have to kind of chuckle and just shake my head. I'm impressed and thoroughly thankful for these past few days of peace that the universe has surrounded me with.
Every morning I set my alarm for 5:45am (the exception is weekends). That gives me 15 minutes to lay in bed and try to wake up before I know I need to really get moving. This morning, I peacefully woke up and went "huh, it's really light out and I feel REALLY well rested. I'm surprised the alarm hasn't gone off yet". Yeah...7:20am. OH SHIT. Supposed to leave the house to take my daughter to school in 10 minutes!! In about 10 seconds I ran through options and decided that since we were already going to be late, I wasn't going to rush because I knew it would frustrate me and put both me and my daughter in a bad mood and that would just set the tone for a crappy day. So I checked my email & horoscope, showered, woke up munchkin, and we set about our day as normal. She wasn't that late for school and guess what? It was just a really REALLY good day overall.
I did a lot of running around today as usual but I was full throttle, on the go, ALL day. I finally got home at 430pm and absolutely considered blowing off class tonight but I made myself go because I knew if I didn't I'd have time to think about things and I didn't want to do that. I'm glad I went because there was a ton of interesting info and we started covering nutrition which I love anyway.
Things that definitely stood out today:
I started Tai Chi. It's definitely different. I had been really hyper and full of energy all day so it took me a bit to just STOP and SLOW DOWN. The balance and gracefulness it takes for Tai Chi is mind blowing. I mean, 70 year olds were kicking my ass so that was something new. I definitely didn't fall in love with it but it's something I'm going to try and do for a few classes just to try and get a good feel for it. It takes a lot of muscle control as well so it really made my shoulders feel good.
My workout today with my trainer was INTENSE. Don't ever mention to your trainer that you have extra energy. She will inevitably find someway to make sure you're totally burnt out after class and don't want to move. I'm pretty certain I actually considered just finding a corner of the locker room floor afterwards and staying there for the 2 hours until personal training certification class started. In general, a great workout makes me feel strong and I love that empowerment. I'm a curvy gal while still being a decent build (I'm a size 8 if that sheds any light on size) and I've never been stereotypically skinny. My body just WANTS to be larger so I have to work my ass off to stay in shape and not gain weight. Overall, being fit makes me feel STRONG and I'd so much rather be curvy and strong than unhealthy and super skinny (I'm not saying all super skinny people are unhealthy so lets not go starting an uprising over that). I like that "kick ass" feeling I have from fitness.
All in all, between those couple of things and errands, I'm BEAT. I was incredibly happy to come home, have some great dinner, and I have a movie in the laptop that's calling my name. I actually wasn't going to blog today but I need to express how good of a day it's been.
As far as my ex? I honestly can say I didn't really think about him today. I had a few moments when I got home before class tonight where I just kind of zoned out about him & then I started to get that jealous feeling when his "friend" crossed my mind so I made myself stop and literally re-occupy myself and re-focus my mind. If I can have days like these last few, I have complete faith that things are going to be just fine.
I'm REALLY looking forward to Krav tomorrow mid-morning and hopefully won't be dead afterwards so I can get a good run in. I can't believe it's mid-week already. Time flies!
Cheers.
Things that made me happy today:
I was really energetic and unusually hyper today so there wasn't much that I wasn't in a good mood about.
Passing thoughts of jealousy irritated me a bit.
