...after suffering a dry itchy cough through the night. My brain played alarm mind games on me again; at some point I just began cycling through a familiar dream of being awake and going through my day as if I had already missed my alarm and CG.
I did not miss my alarm and was up pretty quickly, and my body is not so much sore right now, but worked; as I move through planned steps so as not to disturb my best man (anymore than I do on the daily...).
I love everything about the next part of my day...it is the reason I started CG, it is all ME time. This is the time I give myself to be thankful, give praise and accept that I am aging gratefully (while trying to be graceful). So I get to camp and while I am still working on my runners lungs, I get a lot of motivation and encouragement from my fellow 'gladiators'! There is so much strength in the amazing group of humans I get to work out with!
OmGosh...new goal...(besides getting off my knees for planks and push ups, and defeat burpees)...be the work out to be the partner that can/will pick up the extra reps!
So I made it through another morning work out and I am already looking forward to my next...Friday should be interesting since after my work out I have scheduled my InBody test. I am not totally sure what an InBody test is, but my guess is; to document where my body is now...weight, skeletal muscle mass, BMI (double ugh...) to track my progress(ion).
So...someone (who i consider "in the know") told me last weekend that chocolate milk is a really good recovery drink within 30 minutes of working out. To me this was The.Best.News!!! I love chocolate milk!!! I have been known to pound a pint of H-E-B chocolate milk...while still IN THE H-E-B PARKING LOT. I am talking take it out of the bag so the kids don't see it and Chug in the H-E-B parking lot. "Best News"!!! So I bought chocolate milk, and it is sooo difficult to see it in my refrigerator and not just grab it and drink it right out of the carton, but I do not. Chocolate milk has become my "sweet" recovery reward for working hard and I love it all the more now!
Those of you that are reading this, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! Writing this out, putting my thoughts to words is my minds recovery and I hold hope that putting stuff out there will encourage someone, or start a conversation (maybe with ME* or better about ME*). I don't know, but i do know know it helps me*.
*cause who is This. really all about...
If you can't hug 'em, high five 'em, just keep your hands up!
Through Him and from my heart
