Going through the motions...

I miss the sunshine. Yesterday it hit me all of a sudden that I'm feeling a bit down because I miss the sun (I mean, I knew I had been feeling a bit down...but the reason hit me). The prospect of going a couple more months before seeing a lot of daylight depressed me.

But, going to bed early last night did seem to help some. I woke up today at 5:45. Didn't feel quite ready to jump into intense training, but went to the gym anyway. Did 31 minutes on the treadmill, really pushing the pace towards the end. I'm glad I did it. I still feel a little slow/not exactly euphoric today...but at least I can go through the motions until I feel like myself again. I like what Bernadine says: "Keep going, keep going, until something inside you says 'keep going.'"

Breakfast - 8 or 9 valencia oranges, cut into sixths, sucked the juice out.
Mid-morning - 5 more oranges, just like breakfast
Lunch - 8 small bananas, sliced, mixed with date sauce (10 medjool dates, blended with water). a lot of baby bok choy.
Late afternoon - 1 bunch celery. A lot of minneolas (I love these!), eaten just like the breakfast oranges
