Day 19

Today would have been Day 11 from Zuzka's 30 Day Fitness Plan, but for some reason the video for that day wasn't showing up on my phone.  So instead, I did that ZRopes workout that I was doing a few weeks ago.  I started my first round doing 30 basic bounces instead of 20, and went up by 10 from there for each round.  I did 3 rounds!  Fuck yeah!  I wrecked those burpees, especially the first set.  Plowed through all 20 non-stop.  Actually, the entire first round I plowed through like a monster!  It was pretty great :)

Things today that were great:  getting up and going to work in the nice morning weather, listening to "Happy" on the way into work, feeling pretty great and enjoying the morning chit chat, bacon (!!!), eating a Builder's bar and drinking a gingerade kombucha for breakfast, drinking lots of water, handling the morning onslaught with grace and clarity, encountering the noon craze and making it all work out, finishing strong and not letting myself get brought too far down, making myself a delicious salad with all kinds of ingredients (romesco, ham, sweet potatoes, kale, etc), listening to The Flaming Lips during cleanup, hilarious dirty jokes with my boss, running into a few friends on the corner as I walked home, making it home and having some new pots and pans delivered to me, walking Ollie to the park and watching him romp, returning home and crashing out for a few hours, having pretty interesting and lucid dreams in which I was claiming my power, waking up and lounging around for a long while, eating granola with peanut butter and craisins and coconut-almond milk, more lounging, eating cottage cheese with peaches, continuing to lounge and browse Craigslist, laughing at the personals ads, cuddling with my sweet puppy thing, remembering to drink water, getting ready for the gym, wearing the tiniest short shorts, bundling up and walking down to the gym singing all the way there, rocking the shit out of some motherfucking burpees, listening to Dirty Vegas, seeing so much improvement in my overall strength and endurance in my workout, nice long stretching session afterward, walking home and singing again, being the only one awake in the whole town (my workouts are occurring later and later in the night these days... I think my next challenge will be to get up earlier in the morning and do my workouts before starting the rest of my day), singing along to "Work It" by Missy Elliot, taking a hot shower at home and feeling my muscles melt, moisturizing my body, making myself a delicious dinner with my new pans (broccoli, asparagus, spinach, kidney beans, all sautéed in butter and tossed in pesto, topped with two fried eggs, hot sauce, and brocco-sprouts.  Yummy!), sitting down to write this with my puppy dog, listening to music (Eiffel 65 "Silicone Girl" at the moment.  Old school!)

I am turning new leaves, opening new chapters in my life.  I am ready for a new life and I am letting go of my fearful clinging to old habits and patterns.  There's nothing wrong with the way I've been creating my life, I've just outgrown it and am ready for something new.  I'm ready to step into something new, on all fronts in my life.  I'm tired of holding myself back from the things I want.  My party is waiting for me to show up!!  Here I am!  I'm coming!

Love,

Adrienne
