Ahhhh ... sleep

I slept.  (Thank the lordy for small favors.)

This is a hectic week.  Dogs, youngest home looking for a job, hubby stressed, me stressed.  I'll be glad to have this week finished.  AND it the first week of Whole30 which is challenging from the energy perspective.

It's a strange dynamic (every time).  My energy is low, yet my energy is high.  I'm super productive, up early and easily, moving all day ... and bone-ass tired.  Like I don't want to move tired.  Like the idea of making the bed seems like I need a warm-up drill first.  STRANGE.  Every. Single. Time.  It passes after about the first week.  The productive energy stays, the mass tired goes.  Workout energy in the intense zone is always harder - no white sugar running amuck through my veins.

Speaking of workouts ... today is up-in-the-air.  I walked with Duke yesterday for my rest day (not quite 3 miles because my friend wanted to pass on the last hill - ugh), but I still feel fatigued today.  The dilemma is about the fatigue.  Am I tired enough to have a more moderate workout or can I push and do the boxing class?  It's a class with a different instructor so I don't know how hard it it (but assume it's hard).  I have an hour to figure it out.

I'm reading a really good book.  Pachinko (Min Lin Lee).  Epic novel.  Sometimes those need time to get into and can be put down easily.  Not this one.  Excellent read - I'm about 1/2 way.

I've back-burnered meditation (pretty obviously) and decided to move to podcasts.  Active inspiration.  I need to figure out how to listen to them in the car (where I have my biggest downtime). I'm slowly figuring that out.  Technology and me = not besties.

On the hot water with lemon front - I'm adding less lemon juice and it's good now (duh).  Reading a bit more on it, it looks like the benefit is the warm water -- great hydration, of course.  The lemon is a side-note.  So isn't tea the same thing??  Most of the stuff I read said the lemon isn't really important. I naturally hydrate well - always have ... so is this for peeps who need inspiration to drink water?  If so, I'm heading back to tea.  I feel like this is a fad thing - add lemon - make water better.  Stay tuned!!  Questioning "the man."

Last little review - Whole30 Day by Day book.  Great for first timers, not loving it for me now.  Oh well, I'm doing the work since I need to report it to my coach lol!

Louie meets his perspective family today - good luck little man.  That's all on the home front.  Later gators!
