I’m currently feeling:
Sore.
My thoughts creating this feeling:
DOMS is real. Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness. And its alive and well in my thighs and across the back of my shoulders. Last nights JWW I really pushed myself. Joe is always saying if its too easy, you’re not lifting heavy enough. I’ve been using a combination of 1.5kg and 3.5kg dumbells for the last 3 weeks but as this is the last week in this current cycle, I thought I’d push myself and used the 3.5kg all the way through. I could feel it instantly in my legs. Nothing delayed about that. This morning I can feel it across the back of my shoulders and neck. Then holding the hair dryer up this morning ached! However, I’m determined to end this week well before my next check in and move on to the next level of routines. I can always go back to easier ones it they’re too hard but it’s good to progress and try new ones. I’ll get a new batch of recipes too. I’ll take all my measurements on Friday as we’re away all weekend for a wedding so Monday’s scales aren’t going to look pretty. I get very excited when I see the countdown to check in get down to single digits.
My desired feeling:
Optimistic.
My thoughts creating this feeling:
I have my appraisal this morning. Technically, I haven’t achieved any of my objectives for the last year because of issues outside of my control. At the moment I’m sort of floating and creating my own work. Over the next couple of monts thats going to ramp up when we go live and move locations, but then it will go quiet. I don’t know what my boss has in store for me, Or what I want to do really.
I‘ll show up on purpose in my dress, body language and presentation by:
Bright green trousers and camel silk blouse. Gibraltar bracelet, star necklace and diamond hoop earrings. Feminie ish but comfortable as I ache too much to hold myself up properly.
I will show up for myself by:
Despite the DOMS I will do another JWW this evening. May have to drop the weights down a level though.
I will upgrade my surroundings by:
Last Friday’s flowers are starting to droop so I’ll change the water to see if that perks them up.
I will show up for my extra ordinary goal by:
A night off. No ringing, no meetings. At most a couple of emails.
Today I am:
Hurting.
Today I am grateful for:
Hurting means its working. Breaking down the muscle to rebuild it stronger. At least I have movement and can workout, walk, ring, dance (!) and more. I don’t currently have too much jount pain and my back no longer plays up so much. Getting stronger.
