On a roll! Just did elliptical for 10 minutes again, and some simple stretches and a plank or two. Still under the weather, so I don't want to push it.
Didn't feel very hungry today. I hardly ate anything, and I felt fine, energy-wise (aside from being sick). I'm hungry now for some protein though. It's interesting, the more sedentary I am in my lifestyle, the more I want to eat. But when I'm active and doing stuff, I don't really think about eating as much except for pre and post workout, and even then I just kind of give my body what it's asking for in the moment. I know you're "supposed" to eat such-and-such at such-and-such time, but I'm really not on a very regular schedule, so I just go with the flow and eat what I crave. And since I'm usually craving healthy food, it's a pretty good system. On the weird day when I'm craving junk food (like a few days ago... craving a donut? That actually has never happened to me, I don't really like donuts...), I just let myself indulge. I don't make a diet out of junk food, and every time I start making it a habit my body lets me know it doesn't really agree with what I'm doing, so I find what I'm really craving (usually it's physical activity) and I go for that.
Anyway, I had a good and productive day today. I ran some errands in the morning, then went up to the University to model for an art class for a few hours. Then I visited my old acting class, and had a great time! It is so much fun watching the new character work students! That's definitely my favorite semester, along with Intentions. I'm going to class again tomorrow to do an intention exercise with a former classmate of mine. I'm looking forward to a day filled with acting and fun! Yay!
Things I appreciated about today! Waking up from important dreams, feeling like Good Work was done during my sleep; eating banana and peanutbutter for breakfast; hot morning shower; getting errands done in a timely fashion; seeing my old roommate (I'd been thinking about him earlier) at the bank; kind service at the bank and the dog food store; seeing the happy receptionist at the chiropractor's office; looking at fabric remnants to kill time; drinking a delicious and healthy smoothie; making it right on time to the bus stop; getting stared at by a bunch of college freshmen while they draw my naked body (so funny when you think about it!); seeing all of my old friends from acting class; playing with a new character on stage; re-connecting with an old friend in a good way; great conversations after class; a good practice audition; getting a ride to the gym; a nice gentle workout followed by a good in-body experience; walking home and speaking French to myself; daydreaming about living in Paris; chillin with my doggie; dreaming up my dinner!
Love,
Adrienne
