It’s the start of my Maintenance week (9th week out of every 9), so calories are up, food is up, and wow am I full! Sunday I took exercise off because I ended up curling up on the couch with the bf and watching TV for two hours before bed. But, I ate within the caloric limit, and that was after spending basically all day in the kitchen cooking (tamales take a lot of work!).
And today, Monday, started off like crap and I just sort of went around in a brain fog. I’m not an emotional person, really, but someone who’s important in my field of study, who was even on my dissertation committee, died this morning. At a much, much too young age of 52, of cancer. All morning I was getting emails from people, and some even called me. I’m honestly not sure why, I only interacted with this person maybe twice a year, except of course back in 2010 and 2011 for my dissertation. But, yeah … it was not a good day, emotionally, and I certainly got no work done (I don’t think anyone would expect me to!). I did end up working out on the elliptical at my typical time – just in time to get 30 exercise minutes for the day – though I was thinking I might just stay on to forget about things. The sweat pouring down my face kinda stopped that, but that’s what I get for going up another level in intensity (Level 10, now, after spending 3 weeks at Level 9).
