Of Exercise and Mint
I need to get to bed, but I don't want a whole week to go by w/o a post. (Where did the week go??)
Wed. I decided I'm going to work out in the mornings. One of the things holding me back from this was the fact that I get hungry in the mornings, but don't eat before I pray, and don't want to work out immediately after eating. But I decided I'll suck it up and my body will adjust.
So Thurs. morning I got up 30 min. earlier than my prev. goal time (which was not always my actual wake-up time) and worked out. : D I felt good for a while after, but it wore off halfway through the drive to work. Then I got sleepy.
Fri. morning I did not get up to work out. : (
But Noah did a workout later in the day, so I did it w/ him. So that sort-of counts.
Shabbat I didn't get up to work out, it being the day of rest and all. (As it happens, I didn't get up for shul either. Oops.) But I did play Ultimate Frisbee for a little while in the afternoon, so I got some fun exercise.
This morning I rode my bike to and from shul (.9 mi. each way), then worked out for 30 min. when I got home, then rode to and from shul again in the evening for a meeting. So lots of exercise today. I'm sure I'll regret it tomorrow.
In other news, I got a large planter and replanted my mint, which had been starting to look rather yellow and sad. So I hope it perks up! I cut up a plastic jug and made a divider so maybe the mint won't take over the whole planter and I can put other herbs in the rest of it.
I ran lots of errands today, some of which I'd been meaning to do for a while.
I've been getting more headaches again lately, especially after being outside a lot. I'm having a physical this week, so I'll bring that up, along w/ the general blah-ness.
Hmm, I meant to be in bed 20 min. ago. Story of my life.
