Day 17 & 18 - Balance

Well, I had my slip up day....which is extending into a bit of today.....a bit.

Yesterday started off well, but right as I was going to leave work, a friend asked me if I wanted to go to a Hockey game for free with her. Hrmmm, twist my arm. Husband had plans that evening, so I jumped. It left me ZERO time between leaving work and 10 pm to do anything on my list. No yoga, no evening prep items, ect ect. Bummed.

On the flip side, I have been reaching my physical breaking point. Working out 16 days straight was taking its toll. I was trying to take it easy the couple days prior, but yesterday and today I have had some muscle tension issues that have lead to bad headaches. This is part of my medical history, and while my limits are much better then they used to, I still have limits.

So I took yesterday off from Yoga, and again today. I am going to meditate a second time this evening as a replacement, but I will say, I think I needed a break overall. Mentally I have been struggling with my work goals, the people at work around me have been super stressed, and while I was not losing motivation, I was running super low on energy. So last night I took to myself, tonight I am taking it easy, and tomorrow I will be back up to 100%.

I knew I was approaching my wall, but had hoped I could make it til the weekend where I could recharge without deviation from the schedule. My current state of exhaustion I have analyzed, and since it could be several reasons, I have decided I just need to take a deep breath, eat well and drink fluids, get plenty of sleep tonight, and move on. I don't need to focus on the downside, as I do not want to end up staying there.

Tomorrow is Friday, happy for that. Have some minor plans over the weekend, and otherwise will have additional time to catch up on my lost work time yesterday and today. :)
