Since I decided to work out yesterday morning, and even though I feel really good today and could probably work out if I wanted to, today is a mandatory rest day. At least one true rest day a week is necessary to make sure I’m giving my muscles the proper recovery time.
I am energetic and a little restless today though, so I will still be doing yoga, and core reset. The weather is shifty, and my low back and my feet are a little on the achy side today. Core reset will help with my back pain, yoga will help with the stiffness in my joints and lingering muscle tenderness.
With it being chilly outside and the furnace on inside, I’m struggling to stay hydrated, so that’s another focus today. I’m going to aim to drink as close to a gallon of water as I can, and make sure I’m fulfilling my electrolyte needs as well. Some bone broth, a lot of water, and some meal prepping are on the agenda.
Sunday’s are also Planner Days, I have to go over and review this weeks school schedule, go over my Blade schedule and my personal planner. I have to set up the coming weeks syllabus for the kids, and make sure we have all our supplies for our lessons. Finish up the laundry, vacuum the bedroom. I have to set up the next batch of cards to go out this week to my Valkyries as well.
I’m also going to get into my new classes today, and just kind of poke around and see what the first course is about, what it’s going to require of me. I’m so excited to start this next part of my life, to study and learn even more about my new path. I’m still kind of in shock that I signed up and took such a giant step towards this, it’s all just kept falling in my lap over the last few months. I’m 100% in reflection mode right now, looking back on the last 6 months, the last year, and seeing how far I’ve come and where it’s brought me to. It feels so unbelievable when I look back at last December and how low and sad I was, how without direction I was. And now everything has changed so significantly, so drastically, and I’m just sitting here in disbelief for the way I seem to be rocketing out of this hell pit I’ve been sitting in for years.
It’s supposed to be 40 and raining all day today, but it isn’t raining now, so I’m going to get dressed and get Yrsa out for our walk before the sky starts leaking. And then I’ll get into Core Reset and some yoga, and get through my things for the day! I hope you have a great Sunday, and it’s full of joy for the coming week. I’m excited for mine.
