01 April 2008 - Day 9

I just realized something...I used to get done with my daily routine, and it was a real struggle to have enough energy to keep my body going and convinced to finish my nightly workout video. Today, I was looking forward to exercising. So much, that it drove me to keep motivated and looking ahead. That is sure different. What a nice change. It is absolutely amazing how much more energy I have.

The other discovery is about how much I enjoy cooking; especially trying all the great recipes from the cookbook. It has become a new routine to check out and plan what recipes I want to try the night before. Then begin cooking away, after I finish the rest of the night-time routines. I always have some great healthy food ready to eat. Which prevents those nasty panic stops on the way home from work with "starving" children. All these healthy choices are ready to go. What a great turn-around!

This morning's meditation went pretty well. I seemed to be guided toward a new perspective/vantage point. So each time I felt myself leaning a particular direction, especially when I noticed that something was bothering or flustering me, I stopped to re-evaluate. It gave me a new perspective. It was great to feel that overwhelming calmness from slowing down my emotional reactions with relaxed approach. Both times I remember starting to get upset about a scenario, I resolved the issue internally and felt much more "in control" and satisfied with the outcome. Does that make sense?

All in all, a fantastic day! Boy, am I sure sore though. Wow! What a workout!
