Exonerated

My current feeling:
Exonerated.

My current thoughts are:
I was on zoom calls all morning for the CCCBR Exec and Workgroup leads. C had to let some visiting ringers into the Cathedral and said he’d bring back lunch and snacks. For lunch he got me some sushi, a big bag of salt and vinegar hula loops and a smoothie drink. The sushi and drink were ok but I could have done without the crisps, but they’re part of a meal deal. For afternoon tea snack he bought massive custard doughnuts from the bread stall. We used to have these quite regularly on Saturdays if we were home. Even looking at it I felt dread. I really didn’t enjoy eating it at all, but he thought it would be a nice treat, so I persevered. I did say afterwards that I really didn’t enjoy it as much as I used to. I guess I’ve got out of the habit of eating overly sweet stuff. A little while later I got a bit of a headache. I did my workout but did struggle a bit.

My physical state is:
Drained.

My physical state is a result of:
I did manage the first two rounds of the workout ok. The first was 10 HIIT exercises, body weight only. The next were 10 dumbell exercises where I managed most of them but couldn’t match rep for rep. The third section was supersets. 7 lots of two connected exercises. I kept having to stop before the timer. I even missed the bear crawls and the brupees ones out altogether. I was struggling by then and felt quite shaky, especially my arms. I definitely felt some early DOMS in my glutes as well. Maybe I pushed too hard early on.

I will make today extraordinary by:
1) Three lots of ringing, including practicing a competition piece.
2) Food prepping for a short work week ahead.
3) Clearing the ironing pile.

My desired emotion for today is:
Determined.

I am a woman who:
is planning exercise and nutritious food, in advance, trying to set herself up ahead of 5 days away.

Today I will let go of:
AGM business.

Today I choose to add:
Preparation.

My wins, accomplishments, gratitudes for today:
I’m glad I did a workout yesterday. It makes four for the week. This coming week I’m only likely to get two in.

The thoughts that support my celebrations:
Trying to get ahead of the curve knowing I’m not going to get many workouts done, and the food choices are going to be very limited. I want a solid starting point so any damage done can get rectified quickly before my next check in.

I want to improve the following for tomorrow:
Prep for Tuesdays workshop and gather all the information we’ll need to come up with a proper proposal for a single scanning solution.

Words of advice, wisdom, encouragement, humour from my future self:
Sort your nails out. File them, shape them, paint them.
