Ziggy is in process to head to a trainer in NYC. It was a LONG, emotional day and my heart still hurts for him. I didn't get home until 4 o'clock (I left just after 8 am). Nothing went smoothly, but in the end we both made it.
I took my coaching call in a parking lot in the car. Not bad actually. The trick was not driving so I could completely concentrate. Sitting in the car felt fine. I got a late, late lunch so I got something bigger and called it dinner too. Errands moved to today -- I needed to get home to my dogs.
I did a partial run outside yesterday. A little over 2 miles. I didn't push the distance because of the long car ride AND because I was DYING! Wow -- my cardio fitness is down from my less-than workouts (back and neck problems) and Whole30 (this always happens). Heart rate was HIGH, breathing was deep and every muscle said STOP. I'm glad I did it though. I was stiff in the car and a bit this morning, but not as much as I expected.
Today, my TREAT is lunch with my youngest. I gave him a few choices of restaurants that I can easily eat W30-enough (I don't care about the micro-stuff when I eat out).
Not much to report on PODCAST learning. Nothing overly inspiring and I only listened to a couple. I wasn't in the mood to think -- it was a yucky day. I listened to Melissa Urban talk about her "sobriety" experiment ... "I'm not drinking right now." It's what I've heard her say before. (P.S. I don't love the use of "sobriety" when it refers to not having a glass of wine. Sobriety, to me, is the opposite of drunk, not the opposite of not having one drink. I guess the societal definition is changing, but I'm old school on this currently. Not that the WORD matters, really.)
Coaching was GREAT. I wondered what she could bring to the table in the first session -- but she brought it. The first part of the conversation was catch-up ... what, where, how, why. That kind of thing. She listened, interpreted, suggested and I'm so happy I decided to be coached. This is going to be a cliff-hanger, though, because I'm too mentally spent to write it out (I think this is Whole30, 1st week energy drop). I'm going to do an entire post on it this week once I do the stuff she suggested. Yep, cliff hanger ... stay tuned ...
My 3 pouches came in the mail yesterday - wow, Amazon, that was extra fast. Don't love them, don't hate them. They'll serve the purpose, but not as nice as the influencer suggested. Still, a pouch is a pouch and you can never have too many.
My TOOL for today is allowing my feelings. I have remnants of yesterday lingering and I don't want to eat those feeling or push them down. Rescue is all the THINGS ... awesome, heartbreaking, hard, fun, rewarding. This week it's been heavy on the heartbreaking and hard. I'm taking a mental break which includes low Facebook usage (my feed is all dog -- most of the time). Regrouping.
I'm concentrating on ME the rest of the week. I need a bucket refill. I have a to-do list that snuck up on me, but I have time the next few days to get it done.
I also want to update on my 19 for 19 list (once I'm clearer headed). This is the Gretchen Rubin thing. I've been doing it, some accomplished, some I best get moving on ... I'll share the list again soon.
P.S. I chose the book Melissa Urban recommended. So far, it's good. She says it gets better and better and although it reads kind of simply, you'll get some big feels by the end. Fantastic! I'm Fine and Neither Are You -- Camille Pagan.
Hump day already. Later gators.
