Wed 2 Dec

Definitely does not feel like it should be Wed already. It is quite disconcerting to lose Monday altogether when you weren't expecting it. But onward. Stayed up a bit late last night and finished the last book in the Outlander series, so it's time to move on to something else. Likely I'll go back to the Irish Country Doctor series next, as there's a new book I acquired a month or two ago but waited to finish the current series first. Not sure if I'll go back to the beginning or pick it up somewhere in the middle. Don't need to decide now. Had every good intention of going to the gym as usual today, but when I got up from the computer to make final preparations, my body said, "not a good idea". I kept making the preparations in hopes that I was just being lazy, but I really didn't feel right, a little light-headed and weak, so I decided to finish shoveling the light snow off the sidewalk and do Jessica Smith at home. I did the Stride & Strength first and the little amount of weight training included convinced me I had made the right decision. I managed the whole DVD plus a barefoot fusion walk that was really good to work my feet, but I was working hard to get through it. I didn't want to spend everything I had today as I have my Bootstrap shift this afternoon, so it was good that I didn't try Body Pump and treadmill. I'm pretty sure I would have had to quit or at least stop using weights part way through, and I might not have had anything left to work this afternoon had I made myself go.
