Jan. 21st, 2011 10:52 amI don't really have anything to say...but I didn't want to break a perfect week of posting T_T lol
This morning during first period I jogged up and down the stairs from ground to fourth floor because I had a bit of a stomach ache that I wanted to get rid of. I'm proud of myself for being ingenuitive, making the most of down time at school, and not using habit or inconvenience as excuses for not exercising. I'm trying to remind myself that exercise can happen at any point in one's day. Four trips up the stairs isn't exactly something worth fanfare, but it's better than nothing and I try to remind myself of that.
I'm still waiting for myself to kick it in gear and get really serious though. I should be running in the gym with the kids. I tried to find some P90X last night and did a few minutes of tae bo before my mom skyped me, which wasn't enough but it's a start. I had to give up because it got late, but I know that if I want to survive this winter I've really gotta focus on just doing something. I'd love to take up swimming or cycling, but both of those are impossible in this city this time of year. If I had snow shoes or cross country skis maybe I'd get out for winter sports. Though really it was about this time last year that I started sprinting in the tunnel. Bleak as it sounds, I'd feel much better physically and mentally if I got out for a run at least every now and again.
Yesterday, however, I ate a huge dinner of lentil soup, bread, and eggplant, followed immediately by a big cup of hot cocoa, two cups of coffee, a cookie, 4 pieces of chocolate, and a huge bowl of trail mix. Entirely a binge, but entirely delicious, and I'm trying just to enjoy the bliss and not feel guilty about it. Guilt doesn't get you as far as resolve does.
