Today was my one day a week off from exercise... and I feel antsy, irritable and drained. But I needed it. My abs were sore from planks and side bends... my legs were sore from running 3 days in a row and weights (extensions, curls, calf raises, etc)... and I just know that it is physically safe to take a day off from strenuous exercise.
I also let myself sleep in and relax. I just felt completely lazy today. I didn't crawl out of bed until 2. I felt like I really didn't have much to do, and I HATE that feeling. I do have random odd-end homework to do which kept me busy, but I would rather be CONSUMED with stuff to do than have nothing at all to do. That's when my mind starts wandering, which I don't necessarily like.
Running IS my therapy. It gives me time to unwind, contemplate my life decisions, and just exist. It has turned into an addiction. I prefer being addicted to running than drugs, booze, or food- but some people would argue that it is the same battle. What if I get injured? Well, I can always find another form of exercise. I guess I'll start swimming.
Anyway... not much to report other than what's going on in my brain. I had a great breakfast this morning... Kevin came up with an egg white scramble which is as follows:
1 cup spinach
4 egg whites
2 medium tomatoes
1/4 cup red onion diced
1 clove garlic
1/2 red bell pepper
He sautees the spinach, onion, garlic and bell pepper together with some pepper and garlic salt and then we add the egg and cook it. I top it with salsa and tapatio and it makes for a DELICIOUS and nutritious breakfast paired with my 90 calorie latte. We invested in a cheap espresso machine from Target a year ago that has proved to be a wonderful asset to our kitchen.
Tomorrow will be a much more productive day... 5 mile run in the morning, hopefully some time with Jenny, a bit of homework, and then out to the comedy club with friends!! Very excited for an 8 mile river run on Sunday!
