Went to bed last night just after 9 p.m. Got up this morning just before the alarm went of at 6:45 a.m. Hit the building stairwell for a short morning workout:
Stair workout -
Started at the top, walked down 8 flights.
Walked back up, taking the stairs two at a time.
Down.
Jumped up all 8 flights (one step at a time)
Down.
Walked up, 2 at a time.
Down.
Jumped up, one at a time.
Took about 20 minutes, total.
Stretched.
Breakfast - 2 maridol papayas (they were on the smaller side for maridols, but still pretty big, since that's the nature of the beast). Delicious!
Lunch - fruit kabobs at a lunch meeting (melon, pineapple, strawberries, grapes), followed by 6 fuyu persimmons (those ones that are imported from Israel...)
Mid-afternoon - 1 head greenleaf lettuce
Before leaving work - 2 small mandarins
Went to a bellydance class
Dinner - 2 papayas, 1 persimmon
Went to bed by 9 p.m.
A strategy note: sometimes logic works wonders (i.e., reasoning with myself). For example, last night I told myself that even if I don't feel like going to the gym for a class after work, it was definitely a better use of my time than staying home, since all I'd be doing at home was surfing the internet, eating too much, and stressing out over everything. Sometimes when I don't really feel like pushing hard, I tell myself that it's only for a few minutes, and after that, I can sit down and be lazy the rest of the day. So, talking to myself sometimes works when I'm not feeling up to things.
