GRATITUDE: First time doing a 45 min yoga workout yesterday. First purposeful, real ruck yesterday (1 hour, 10 lbs, 5k). So slow to wake up 5:30am the last two days and my first yoga workout has consisted only of 11 minutes of slow stretching…still showing up, and still my body is grateful for the restorative, slowness to ease into the day. My sleep hasn’t been great the last week, in fact it’s been pretty downright awful. I’m attributing this correlation to being in the luteal phase (still trying to get a hold of Mindy Pelz’s book “Fast Like a Girl). Tempted to try and start wearing my Oura ring again to track body temp. Thankful I got around to some light house cleaning today, it’s been lacking since I’ve focused energy on Japanese. On the otherhand, I’ve completely neglected Japanese the last couple of days…
Jasper has been listening to Philip Glass’ Etude 6 a lot lately. There once was a time he really connected to music and maybe he can find a little bit of that again. I need to remember to encourage him back into painting or some creative sensory outputs. I need to do the same for myself actually.
Listened to a lot of podcasts today/yesterday about gut health, inflammation, vitamins, exercise. Peter Attia interviewed the founder of GoRuck which was pretty inspirational. I’m going to try to incorporate it into my daily walks maybe 3x/week if possible.
