Epsi hits the nail on the head with the mirror. I would never feel safe in traffic without that.
This weekend was spectacular. Two REST days and I mean actual REST days. Okay manybe not so much on Saturday as I had to play a concert and then do a pre-concert lecture for my teacher's concert. But after the pre-concert lecture I really let it down. I hung out in town at some of the hip places and took a nice little walk. Then went home and played my guitar until almost 2:00AM. It is so much fun to not have to focus on working up for a concert.
Then today I slept in until 10:30! I crawled out of bed and into the hot tub and then laid around on the deck soaking in the sunshine for another few hours while I studied some new music I want to eventually play. I finally got up to go cut the grass. I got about 1/4 of the way through the job when the blades quit working. I contemplated for a bit about what to do about that when it hit me that I should go swimming. I have no idea where that visualization come from as I am not really a swimming type person but it did so I called up my friend to see if she wanted to go to the lake to swim. She instead talked me into going to her friend's house 'cause they have a pool. So we went to swim and sit around in the sunshine and socialize. It was amazing and so much fun to sit around and listen to the dysfunction of another family. For some reason that makes one feel better to hear it isn't only them. LOL! I have not had such down time in so long that I practically forgot what it felt like. I am learning my lesson from last week RE rest. It is now 9:00PM and I am going to practice my guitar a bit and then hit the sack. My goal is 7 or more hours per night this week.
My eats have been crystal clean this week. I actually nailed a 40,40,20 macro range for the week and 1714 cals per day average. I have packed almost every meal so I am pretty certain on those numbers. Two exceptions. I had some sugar free low fat ice cream at a little shop in town and I had a smoothie today (only about 5 oz). It was all berries and juice though. The fresh vegetables this year are killer good. I am having zucchini and aspargus grilled almost every day. I am also eating fresh broccoli and now the new garden outside is sprouting spinach and other fresh greens. I have never eaten vegetables like this before and loving it so much.
Oh yeah and I saw a 122lb mark on the scale this weekend. I am still trending downward even though it is deadly slow.
