Meditation: This morning started so well. I was a little hesitant going into the first day of meditating, but I was soooo excited to get the ball rolling on the 12 week program. I woke up a little slow, as usual, then quickly decided I better get in the shower to wake my ass up before trying to relax and meditate. So there starts the routine...I set my alarm, as instructed, but as tired as I was...forgot to turn it on. To my surprise, when I finally broke to check the clock, 25 minutes had past. That felt AWESOME! I really shocked myself by not having too much trouble quieting my mind. I was able to concentrate on my mantras pretty well, with the occasional need to wiggle or itch or some-sort. When I was able to concentrate on becoming more aware, I felt very free and relaxed (kinda like floating.) I listened to the distinct sounds from 3 different birds, and felt spring. I even started to feel the chill in the air.
On my drive to work, I felt refreshed and alert. The breakfast I made was awesome. Jordan asked for some, which made me sense this new "leading by example" with better, healthy food choices, was truly going to work. Despite my work day being rather slow, I was able with a little advice, to look at the issues of office lack of organization from a new perspective. From that moment, things definitely turned around. I had a great laugh, as a result, and rediscovered the power of humor.
Exercise: The workout started off with a little frustration, feeling like I may be disappointed that I couldn't get a real workout without a gym membership. But after talking to Dave and walking through the exercises through different variations, I was very pumped. I completed the workout with only a few bumps in the plan. I discovered I definitely need to fill the weight gap, and pick up a 5# and 10# weights. It will take a little while before I can work with the 15#, but I will get there.
I am looking forward to seeing the change in me, through all aspects of the program...mind, body and spirit!
