I made it to week 2! I was really surprised by this. Goes to show you the real power of commitment and being present. Here are the developments of week 2, and if you don’t know you can catch up here!
Day 8:
SICK! That’s right not feeling so great. The weather here in Texas has been a complete rollercoaster. Thirty-eight degrees when I am leaving for work and 75 degrees by the afternoon. I thought it was just allergies, but it seems that I’ve caught a cold. Incidentally enough, my kid has too, and we both got half days at work and school.
Day 9:
Slow and great day. We spent our sick day being productive, and I caught up on some reading assignments for my 40 days. The more and more I read and participate the more I see that I need to be right where I am. It is funny how the universe throws us these confirmations when we are full of doubt. I also did some apartment shopping, not by choice, but because I am just out of room in my little apartment. I hate moving, but this is a necessary evil. My kid is getting older and needs his own space, and let’s face it – I need more closet space! Regardless of how I felt I still made it to practice. I am trying out the Liquid IV powder, and it seems to work like a charm. So I didn’t entirely die!
Day 10:
I took this day to practice at home. Too much going on in my brain and at work. With the addition to being sick. It was just a good day only to come home and stay home. Not to mention this insane weather. I can’t even believe the news, especially since I’ve never seen real snow and I can’t process those super low temperatures and the feet of snow business.
Day 11:
Ok, I enjoyed being able to come home from work, hang out a bit and then go to the 7 pm practice. Then you get back and shower and go to bed. No complications. Simple. Easy. Not to mention this particular instructor is hilarious and my kid made the comment of “Mom why are you so sweaty” – haha kids!
Day 12:
Just a simple Friday night, nothing crazy happened. Went to yoga, got home went to bed. Felt really ran down. Needless to say, I was in bed by 8 pm.
Day 13:
Woke up to fabulous news that one of my dear friends got married at the courthouse, very impromptu wedding. I am so happy for both of them, they are great people, and they are #couplegoals. Plus let’s not mention he’s from England, which makes him that much more of a catch. I was surprisingly very productive. Still feel like death. I got a lot done around the house and did a lot of work. Went to yoga at 6 pm, yes I drove all the way to Montrose just for class. But it was worth it and got a great night sleep, so I thought.
Day 14:
So I work up with a crazy migraine, why? The dumb weather. Here in Houston, we are back into the ’70s with insane humidity, hence the pounding in my head. I am starting to think that I need to move, not just for my love life but for health reasons. The constant headaches and migraines are just wreaking havoc in my life constantly. I went to class because I wasn’t going to wimp out the last day of the 2nd week, I was dying. Came home and didn’t move from the couch. Mind you; it’s the super bowl. My team, The Patriots, are playing and I had no motivation to do anything. I did liven up a bit during halftime. However, like many people I was very disappointed. What happened to the insane body he used to have? Not feeling the dad bod. I did sing along a bit to all the fave songs. By the 4th quarter, I got in my bed. Did a little celebrations “whoop” when they scored, and then I went to bed. That’s how bad it was; I am just glad I survived another week!
