Life Coaching Day

Good morning.  

I had a good day yesterday.  I pushed hard on the Peloton and finished with a 3 mile power walk.  It's hard to remember how to balance getting more fit without overdoing it.  That felt good -- legs are tired today though.  Another bike ride this morning and maybe a walk -- storms are moving in for the next few days and it's already blustery outside.

My hormones are going a bit crazy and that's making for some strange energy swings -- at least, I think that's what's going on. 

I have life coaching later this morning too.  It's good to chat about all the "things."  I've had a few insights that I want to chat about -- I'll fill you in tomorrow.

I made the carrot soup again.  This time I was heavy handed with the spices and added ginger.  Perfecto!!  I tried to use the stick blender instead of the Vitamin (save dishes), but absolutely a big NOPE.  The blender  whips the soup to a creamy, velvety goodness.  It's what's for lunch today.  The color is so pretty -- eating a bowl of HAPPY.

I'm a bit stuck on the book front -- still resting and I haven't been in the mood.  I'll try today and if I don't read, I'll pick a new book.  Brene Brown's book is good, but I'm on the "research" part that's a bit dry.  I like the young adult book, but I'm not far enough to be vested.  I need to push into one or the other.  Lots to read and I don't want to fall into a slump.  Doing the book post has me all excited to read those books (!!)

I've also been in a bit of a mood this week because it's a bunch of things I DON'T want to do.  Dentist -- ugh.  Both dogs get groomed on different days and it's a pain in the butt.  Painters on Friday -- worst of the week.  I had to drive to pick up yucky, dirty dog crates for our rescue.  I need to bleach wash them now.  Nothing I want to do, but lots I NEED to do.  And, again, I think hormones are making me feel wonky too.  I'm going to work on getting in a better head space about it all.

To UP my mood, I need to go back to some things on my list of good/bad.  I'm doing things that are making me upset.  Reading comments on articles and posts -- big no-no.  Getting too involved (aka worried) about what the conspiracy people are doing.  Seeing emails my mother is sending people -- my OG of gaslighting.  Thinking about going to the dentist is actually worse than the hour at the dentist -- stop thinking about it LOL!!  I need to focus on things that make me feel GOOD.  That's the intention (work) for today.  

Hope you find some good and some happy in your day too.  Stay well.  Later gators.
