Every Good Thing

"I...tend to be...busier than I should be
I...tend to think...that time is going to wait for me
Sometimes I forget...and take for granted
That it's a beautiful life we live
I don't want to miss...the moments like this
This is a beautiful life You give"

One Long Day That Began Feeling Miserable

I didn’t sleep well last night at all. In fact, I fell asleep early on in the evening, sort of as a nap. I woke up realizing that it wasn’t just being extra tired & having a difficult Friday morning, emotionally, but instead my back was sore – sore like a back is when a cold consumes it. Yep. That’s what it was. I headed to the nearest pharmacy & hit their OTC rack. I soon found a box that mentioned everything I was feeling: sore throat, aching back, sinus pressure, coughing, sneezing, running nose. Some were more intense than others, but these symptoms definitely described me. Off I went to the cashier.
I definitely don’t think that if I had waited until last night to burn calories that I would have amounted to much. I also think that much of my success from yesterday morning was due to the stress & aggression for which I was feeling at that time. It’s still pretty much all there now, too; but, it’s in a different way & won’t be clearing up all too soon.
I think one thing I realized yesterday morning was that 1000 RPMs, although a great accomplishment, could probably be just as well doubled. So that’s what I’m going to be trying to aim for from now on.

I didn’t get home until later in the day & with the OTC still figuring out how to combat my symptoms, I was pretty wiped out. I took care of my 2000 RPMs, but the weather conditions outside (humidity!) & personally feeling wiped out (my cold!), I didn’t do much more even though I had “time”.

June 29 accountability – Elliptical 2000 RPMs at 3:30 p.m.
