The past few weeks have been up and down. Work has been over the top, conference calls all day, no time to get caught up on e-mails or ongoing projects, etc. Not to mention that’s it’s been really difficult to get away and go to a Spinning class during the day. It seems like once at the office I’m gone. One day this week I had planned to go to the noon class, then the 4:15 one, and finally made it at 5:45. It was a good way to end my day.
It has been simpler for me to maintain my workouts at home and to eat well for some unknown reason. Well, maybe not completely unknown. Since my “re-commitment” to the Challenge I’ve been aware of my need to have balance and peace in my life. Over the last few weeks I’ve been more gentle with myself, more conscious of my self-talk, more able to interrupt a negative thought with at least a neutral one if not positive.
All of these pieces coming together right now tells me that I’m changing, and it feels like on a level deeper than an increased ability to keep up in Spinning classes (although that’s not a bad perk either!). Whatever it is, I’m grateful.
