1) I got up at 6:30 and worked out before class. It seems silly to me that this is so exciting when a month ago I was doing this like 5 days a week, but I’m really proud that I actually got up and did it. It’s sooooo much easier for me to get up and workout in the morning. It’s not that I’m incapable of working out later in the day, but I usually just end up getting lazy and not really feeling like it. Or I make up excuses about how I really did a lot in my classes, or walked around a lot so I don’t really need to workout, which is total BS. It felt really good to go and have it done with and I get so much more done in the day; I’m just more productive. I think that being consistent with this is really going to require me to adhere to my sleeping schedule though, or I’m going to be too tired to get up.
2) I need to find some outlet for emotion other than eating. I had some really great classes early in the morning, and then I just got really frustrated by the afternoon, and my best friends were busy and I had to go to work…so in all this angst I made a peanut butter and jelly sandwich to comfort myself. Now I don’t think a PB&J is all that bad but it more concerns me that I turn to food to make myself feel better. Plus after that sandwich, I proceeded to eat a ton more, not because I was hungry but just because it was something to fill me up. I’m hoping maybe this tumblr will help with that, or maybe I need to get a good old journal to write in, or maybe I need to try to meditate or go for a quick walk. This is definitely something I need to focus on in the future though.
3) Endurance. I had jazz today and for the first time in quite a while we had to do the whole warm-up, with all the conditioning included.
