Day 14

Today is one of those days when I question my decision to pile a number of challenges upon one another. 

My morning walk was good. It was cold and I was tired but I bundled up and got going. 

I’m hoping to hang a lot of things off the framework of 75 hard. 

I have the typical adhd difficulty with consistency and figured when I laid out my plans for this that it would go better if I had a system going. 

It’s not really a will power or motivation issue, it’s mostly a distraction and enjoyment thing. 

If something is interesting or fun I can keep going at it forever. 

I built in a bunch of small goals that will make me feel rewarded. 

I tried to structure it with a very gradual build up to avoid antagonizing my feet (which only partially ever recovered from surgery) and avoid burn out and cortisol build up that can plague women of my age when doing strenuous workouts. 

My anxiety and semi insomnia just don’t need the help. 

It I do it right with a gradual build up I can avoid the cons and reap the pros. 

 So anyway

My morning walk went well despite some tiredness from staying out late last night for the art class and despite it being the end of a week of getting up and out early. 

My concern is for the evening stuff. 

I think I can schedule it out right, and I know I’ll get all my workouts in. 

But one of the challenges I’m doing right now is the 30 day Pilates challenge. 

I first did this routine about 20 years ago but have never managed to do all 30 days. 

This evening from around 6:30 till 1, I will, with a team from my work, be doing a relay for life cancer walk. 

My feet are going to hate me and I’ve got to fit in Pilates and dinner and getting to and from town. 

We shall see. 

Update 9:10

Got it all in and am now walking around a track.

My wonderful husband came to walk with me a bit and eat pasta  

So far so good.

This is not at all a work blog but I will give a shout out to work tonight.

Nice job FNL. 

Boo to cancer .
