Book 3 - FINALLY!

I made it to the final book (a mere 550 pages left).  My goal is to have War and Peace finished by the end of January.  My hope is to read 100 pages a day and knock it out faster.  (Realistically, 50 pages is probably a more reasonable number - but I'm shooting for the stars.)  Oh the celebration when I finish this book - I can picture it now!

I forgot to do my meditation yesterday.  I pushed back my workout and spent the early morning paying bills and other annoying stuff (like reading War and Peace) I wanted to get off my to-do list.  I didn't workout until after 10am and by then I had completely forgotten about the meditation.  Lol.  I'll keep trying!

My workout was good.  Today is the noon lifting.  Happy to get back to the studio.

I ate "compliant" yesterday, but heavy on the fruit.  I'll dial that back today.  I need to go to the store and do some actually cooking this afternoon.  Dinner was a bit like snacking last night - grabbing stuff from the refrigerator and eating at the counter - one-by-one.  My meal schedule was off since I went to lunch at 2:30 yesterday.  Okay, but I want to do better today.  Build back that better evening routine.  Sweets weren't an issue yesterday, but I was craving cheese - I held strong though.  Funny to talk about "battling" cheese - crazy food brain - crazy 1st world problems.

Nothing exciting planned for today, but I am looking forward to the day.  A back to basics day feels good sometimes.  Sheets to wash, food to make, book to read and time alone.  Exciting?  No.  HAPPY?  Yes.

I keep forgetting to mention my knee.  It's the best it's been in years - some days completely pain free.  I stopped running with the brace and that's helped a lot.  I think it was to a point of hindering rather than helping.  My guess is it's a combination of less running, strength training, less sugar and collagen protein.  No MRI, no procedures, no medication ... just me and my effort.  And I noticed I'm getting more flexible in my legs (for my standard).  That's probably from less running.  I'm seeing GOOD changes from my GOOD changes - woohoo!!

Okay - off to finish my morning drink routine, walk the dog and read a little (ugh lol).  Oh - and meditate!  HAPPY day has begun :-)
