motivation train.
Last weeks challenge went pretty well, had one extended nap on Friday, but it was needed. Being up
until 2 the night before working at 7, and then planning on going out that night, I needed some extra
shut eye. On a really good note, I found a Chipotle that is less than 90 miles away.
Last night was also Valentines day. I know a lot of people think it is over monetized, and it is really a halmark holiday, but you have to make it about yourself and your love for another person. Even if you do not have another person at the time, still make it about yourself, and do not get all moopy on us, we have all been alone on Valentines day, it is one stinking day a year. I cooked for my significant other, I love cooking, she loves eating what I cook, works out pretty well. First was lobster, cheese risotto made from scratch, and steamed broccoli tossed in olive oil, soy sauce, lemon juice and some red pepper flakes. Desert was a sparkling Moscato, and pound cake topped in a raspberry and blackberry compote made with a little sugar and pear soda, with whipped cream and chocolate chips.The challenge for this week is to stretch. More specifically get out of my chair every hour at work and get my blood flowing a little bit, and stretch. Many of us with desk jobs and aging bodies start to notice how we feel stiffer, and more creaky by the day. Being hunched over the keyboard for 8 hours a day is one of the main culprits. Getting up every hour and moving your body and stretching, especially the hamstrings and hips, helps keep the body from ceasing up and causing a lot of the common body issues, especially back issues. Even if you only have time for a few jumping jacks or pushups and getting a good hamstring stretch in, it is better than nothing and just sitting in that chair indefinitely.
Also I am on track with my no red meat or pork monthly challenge, and maybe I will weigh myself tomorrow and see if it has helped. Who knows, maybe it did me some good.
I’m just sayin…
