saturday: get up, 8.30... HP, pilates, meditation, dogs, go to friend's birthday tea/picnic (remember to bring that thing she left here) with card/present, relax, eat well, walk dogs, bath, meditate, sleep.

ok, been getting my exercises done in the mornings successfully for four days this week, and I trust that Friday morning will conform to the pattern.
HP
meditation
pilates
dog walk
meeting
rehearsal
shopping
dog walk
dinner
post saturday check in
meditation
bed
And also fit in time logging (completely forgot/neglected to do it at all today) and try and get some studying done. As I'll be at uni tomorrow anyway for rehearsals, how about a micro burst of something related in the library? Yes Jane, do do it, do, it's a good idea!!! We shall see...
no time logging, not a bit!!! but I did succeed in spending about two hours in the library, not getting very much done but the fact that I did actually stay there and get SOMETHING done is great.
___________________________________________________________________________ It's an inside job...
Wow, this month is racing by! Thanks for the starter Jalla :). Or was it yesterday's? All the buttons with recovery speak slogans on them (if they were buttons?).
Anyway, keeping it simple, thursday shall see me...

______________________________________________________________________ It's an inside job...
I get massive migraine headaches, whenever I don't exercise. I don't know why I have a neurological problem, such that exercise is the only thing that makes me feel better physically and emotionally.
I like to feel lighter on my feet. People are staring at me, looking at me all the time wherever I go, and I want to look good at work, at school, standing waiting for the bus.
I do a lot of standing around, b/c I have to take a bus or go to class etc. and I want to have the confidence in myself that I will invest in myself by doing exercise that day.
I don't want to be the fat person at work or class or in a social setting.
Exercise, particularly running, makes me feel more confident and comfortable in my body. It's the only way I gain sanity and mental concentration sometimes.
I get massive headaches, when I don't exercise.
I would like to be attractive; I don't want to feel self-conscious whenever someone attractive is staring at me.
I have athletic goals. I have two running programs, one for beginning running, and I have another one for running for a straight 30 minutes. I want to get through these programs. I have a goal to one day run the Hawaii marathon. But first I'd like to do a half-marathon (preferably the Disney one) just to experience it, b/c I just skipped to the marathon.
Running helps me to feel motivated in other areas of my life, whether I'm sitting in a chair programming or I'm translating Latin.
Rules:
I will not allow myself to burn out by over-training. I will stick to the plan.
If I'm physically incapable of running, I will walk or cross-train, but I have to check in here, if I'm going to alter my plan.
I will brush and floss my teeth nightly because for some reason it helps.
I need to prepare for bed at least 8 hours before I need to wake up, b/c sleep enables me to run.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm physically not able to do the 50 minute module for today,and I think it's best I have some time to study. I am just going to walk for 30 minutes tonight, instead of the fifty minute module, which with HP's help, I will be able to do tomorrow.
set alarm for 7am: HP followed by pilates dvd workout. Made the rookie error of thinking another half hours sleep would be ok...ninety minutes later, the 8.30 alarm goes off (the 7.30 one not set to go off on a wednesday?!?!?! Sometimes I'm too organised lol) and I realise I've completely thrown my day out of whack...
meditation: give it a bash, as instructed.
8am: shower lol see above
9am: walk dogs: get card for mother, post it, this is URGENT!!!!!!!
10:10am: leave for commitment (late)
12.30pm library
4pm cinema
followed by home, hair dyeing, dog walking, dinner cooking, etc I'm disappointed with myself for the lack of commitment I displayed today. In future I will get up at 7am no matter how tired I feel, if I am really suffering from sleep deprivation I can always have a nap!!!
post thursday's check in

"I still have bad days. But that's okay. I used to have bad years." —Anonymous
May your pockets be heavy and your heart be light, May good luck pursue you each morning and night. ~Irish Blessing
fudoshin: day 5: April 8th
Please do not leave advice or feedback. Thank you. Prayers welcome.
My commitment is the following:
30 minutes of exercise at least everyday until I am done with my running plan (35 days or shorter), comprised of the following
1) a segment of my running plan, if there is one for that day
2) any combination of the following in order to get to 30 minutes:
* walking, running, swimming, dance class, aerobics, sculpting class, yoga, biking
The idea is to get out there.
Why am I doing this:
I get massive migraine headaches, whenever I don't exercise. I don't know why I have a neurological problem, such that exercise is the only thing that makes me feel better physically and emotionally.
I like to feel lighter on my feet. People are staring at me, looking at me all the time wherever I go, and I want to look good at work, at school, standing waiting for the bus.
I do a lot of standing around, b/c I have to take a bus or go to class etc. and I want to have the confidence in myself that I will invest in myself by doing exercise that day.
I don't want to be the fat person at work or class or in a social setting.
Exercise, particularly running, makes me feel more confident and comfortable in my body. It's the only way I gain sanity and mental concentration sometimes.
I get massive headaches, when I don't exercise.
I would like to be attractive; I don't want to feel self-conscious whenever someone attractive is staring at me.
