Today had some fantastic rejuvenating spots. And I think a powerful respite from the never satisfied taskmaster - that lives inside me and perhaps all of us.
I slept in today and had a restful morning - with some wonderful solitude. I updated the chart and was happy to see more weight loss and mystified by the different behavior of the body fat meter. But it is much more erratic - and not really important.
As I was mapping out the day I planned to do a brick workout in the afternoon. This is a triathlon phrase for doing two activities back to back. I was going to go on a nice ride and then a run. I have not done one since I started PCP and was looking forward to it.
Before lunch I went for a walk, met some friends and came home. I try not to drive on Sunday and I keep my phone off most of the day as well. Small but powerful gifts to myself. When I returned had a great lunch and then my wife and I totally cleaned our room. I wne thtrough every drawer. I threw out the first clothes. I also move many slacks to the other closet. I am going to take a picture this week of me in a suit that used to fit and one that does fit, although very loose. There was some catharsis there for me. It felt great to clean the room and move some of the old stuff out.
I was getting ready for my ride - I had the clothes on and everything. When the skys opened up and it really started to rain. Eventually I gave up on the ride and went for a run. It was a nice easy run down to the lake and back. I think I needed a break today and am happy now that I didn't push myself to the brink again today. We have less than two weeks left. I want to finish knowing I did a great job each day. I am ready.
Go Team go!
