MY DAILY REGIMEN ..
MIND: Sunday ~ I ditched the laptop & the idea of sending out any emails to my family & friends & decided to write them a letter instead. Picked out my favorite colored pens and fitting stationary for each person & wrote away. Monday ~ Meditated. I used to do this on a daily basis and have been away from the practice for quite some time. The hectic schedule I have does not allow me to get away … but then I realized that if I don’t make time to get away and find solace in the silence of ME … my life will become hectic. Tuesday ~ Switched things around .. YAY for being ambidextrous (or attempting to be anyways). Reversing your mouse, your desk & maybe trying to write with the opposite hand helps to exercise the opposite side of the brain. Not to mention it relieves stress (mental & physical) on that side.
BODY: Sunday/Monday/Tuesday ~ I have been trying to pull double days at the gym for this week. AM Schedule: My Treadmill Work Out. This consists of a 6 minute Tabata Run; Manual Run for 1 minute; Manual Pull for 1 minute; Broad Jumps at the highest incline (15); Side Steps for 1 minute; Mountain Climbers for 1 minute; & Pikes for 1 minute. PM Schedule: Isolation Work Out. 1 day I will work my arms and back; the next, shoulders, back & abs; & the final was bottom & legs.
FUEL: Sunday ~ Braised Pork Loin with Sauteed Mushrooms & a Peach Balsamic reduction. Monday ~ Seared Salmon with Sauteed Red & Green Bell Peppers with a Mushroom rue. Tuesday ~ Paleo Steak Fajitas with Red Chard Wraps.
This all started because I came to the realization that I was falling back into the black hole of complacency. I had reached a goal that I set out to obtain and felt entitled to now “enjoy” the benefits. Well, little did I know .. or 12lbs later, that enjoying the benefits without incorporating everything that I have learned to live a better and healthier life & exercising a bit of sacrifice … would land me down the path that I desperately wanted to get off.
So now, I am going back to what I have become and where I should be … if you so choose to follow .. I’ll be glad to try and lead. Enjoy your day folks .. enjoy your life ..
