amazing discoveries
Today was actually very productive for me. After work I went to first real session of the fitness program I joined. It's a program offered to employees of the hospital; you sign up for a block of time, and you can go as much as you want during the week (during your timeslot) to the PT gym. They have a physical therapist there, and there are only 10 people to a slot. So it's a pretty good deal.
Anyway, I had a great workout. Then I came home and COOKED myself a wholesome meal, had a very pleasant glass of wine, caught up on some phone visits with friends.
Here's the amazing part: after eating, I managed to get my ass off of the couch, and I did some much needed cleaning around the kitchen, and some general "neatening".
It really does always amaze me when I make myself DO something that is healthy, and I end up feeling good afterward. It's like all the articles, books, and scientific data mean nothing; I don't absorb the facts that way. I have to experience it myself. Of course, the trick is for me to keep the momentum going, because if I let go for too long, I forget again how good I'd feel if I just took care of myself.
Ah, circle of life. Well, here's to momentum.
