I totally get you! Well done on turning the dial down and go for things you can do!
Coach asked me what kind of activity should be my anchor for bad days. I put down a 5 minutes walk as I’ll do that indoors if I have to. I also added 5 minutes of piano playing. I actually did both of that today as I was so low energy. Had to force myself to eat something as I wasn’t feeling hungry at all.
Later in the day, the penny dropped: my abs hurt so bad, I’m sat crouched forward, putting pressure on my stomach which then feels off. So I walked around a bit and just stood up regularly and even went to lay down to read for a bit. That helped a little. Tomorrow I have to go to the customer’s office and they have stand/sit desks. Guess what I’ll be doing 😊
Work was a miss today. Didn’t get much done and thankfully didn’t have any meetings. I’m trying very hard to not feel guilty about it and go with tomorrow’s another day instead.
Coach has started me on mindful eating once a day. Did that too.
I found out this morning that I only have to do the final benchmark test for the push-up challenge. So gutted that that will have to wait til my abs recover.
Also finally went and got my last birthday present. It’s mostly from myself, but my family contributed too: a 55 inch TV 😁. I could probably have carried the thing myself, but I refused to be stubborn and ask a store clerk to put it in my car, my downstairs neighbor to get it into my flat and my uncle to help me assemble the thing. Uncle went home with my old TV, which is a bit of an upgrade for him. Can I say the picture quality is amazing! Had to force myself to turn it off just now to ensure I actually go to bed at a semi decent time.
