Day 33

2/19/2012

0 Comments

 
Holy smokes have I been sluggish today.  I didn't even make it to church (2nd week in a row...what a loser).  A normal person would think, I won't drink on my trip, while I keep trying to come up with a way to drink, without getting bombed or sick.  I guess I have my priorities straight :)  I also had the unfortunate addition of acid reflux to my day, today.  Yep, brought on by bad food, and alcohol.  I used to get it all the time, but of course, I hadn't had it in the past 32 days.  Food and drink are directly related to how we feel...I firmly believe it, all the way around.

As sluggish as I was, the boys talked us into taking them swimming.  I'm glad they did.  They were mostly busy w/ Brian in the pool, so I took the opportunity to do lots of laps.  Now mind you, I haven't done a lap in, well, maybe never.  I'm not a great swimmer.  But I worked my tail off in there, and really got my heart rate up.  Doing laps even entailed going to the "deep end" which I also hadn't done in forever.  I can swim, but I always get anxiety about the deep end.  I didn't have it today.  When I wasn't doing laps, I was playing w/ the kids, or keeping myself moving.  It felt good.  Just what my body and mind needed.  I ended my session by doing several backstroke laps.  For me (and I imagine for everyone, the backstroke is my easiest swim), it was so therapeutic.  It felt good having my ears covered by the water, and just, pardon the pun, drowning everything out.  It's the only swim I do w/ my ears underwater.  I don't know how to swim w/ my face in the water, or how to breathe under water.  After swimming, I allowed myself 10 mins. in the spa.  I hadn't been in there forever, and OMG! I will go again soon.  It felt so good.

So, despite a sluggish day, it's been a good one.  Hope you guys are doing well!
