Day Three Hundred Fifty Six - REST DAY

Well today's a Rest Day finally!
Seems I've been going on and off my exercising the last two weeks. I have been so unfocused. The things I'm going thru personally have really taken it's toll on my workouts. I mean, when you have so much stress and stuff on your mind, uncertainty and anger, it's really hard to workout. I know they say that exercise relieves stress. I know that it does, but I've just been to angry and stressed out to get myself to actually do the workouts. That's the problem with me.

Well today I think I've settled some problems going on. I don't want to be someone who lets things get to them so bad to where they just fall and can't get back up. I'm just glad that even though these past two weeks I haven't kept up my workouts consistently as I had been all year, I'm still happy that I kept them up at least. Meaning, I didn't just quit and not do anything. That's what I'm proud of. So my mind was lost in a haze, but it kept telling my body "hey, I may not be in my game right now, but you need to get out there and do what you gotta do" so my body agreed and did it. That's something I'm proud of. Well, tomorrow I'm really going to try to step it back up. It took me a while, but I finally found myself today. It was pretty tough, but I can finally let go of all the BS that was keeping me down. I just have to know that no matter what, I'll always be me and I need to keep myself going for ME and for my future family, and for the family I have now, which is Lees and the animals.

So this day was spent really getting back to myself. Lisa surprised me with the fact that she'll be getting a tax refund, which she hadn't gotten in years due to us being behind every year, but the fact that she's been in school all year long as well as working, that really helped her in tax time. So that was a very happy surprise. She's excited and wants to buy certain things for me, which I think is really sweet. Whenever she gets money, she wants to spend it on me. She's such a wonderful best friend and I'm so thankful to God everyday that He blessed me with her friendship. It's Awesome!

Another great thing that happened today, I made up with Dyanna. We texted each other all afternoon talking about things from a long time ago. Apparently I had talked with her once before about 7 years ago. I found some old emails from a woman named Dyanna. I was not sure if that was her, so today I asked her and she said yes. She remembered everything! We really opened up a new road in our friendship, it seemed. I felt so much closer to her today because we actually have history now lol. Very cool! We talked about a lot of things and I added her back to my FB page. Now, I can truly build on our friendship. It's a really good feeling!

I decided that on my Rest Days, I'm not going to pressure myself to drink a gallon of water. If I do, then that's cool. If I don't, well that's cool also. Today, I did not drink ANY water. Instead, I drank milk and a diet cherry coke...omg sooo good. Like I've complained about in the last week, I feel like all I drink is water and nothing else, so to have something else with taste, oh man, that was Awesome! I'm going to be downing my gallon of water during the week, though because that really does help with my workouts. Keeps my body hydrated and my body actually really craves the water. If I don't drink enough of it now, my throat and body feels really dry.

Great day today!
