np_completeI went to the trainer for my first session today. It was uncomfortable, but (except for some bits involving my knees, which we worked to adjust) not actually painful. I was really impressed by the fact that I didn't leave hurting.
I said, "So, not like gym class. You don't end up parched, exhausted, sore, and humiliated." He thought that was funny.
I ate a new thing, a "Hummus Chicken Power Salad," at Panera, which was tasty (though it would have benefitted from some extra-virgin olive oil). I later made Salted Dark Chocolate Almond Butter Fudge, a Paleo-compliant recipe, which was very good yet not so "moreish" that you keep gobbling it.
I also bought a new office chair at an office furniture place that advertises, "It didn't fall off the back of a truck - it's just priced that way!" It seems like a quality chair, it supports my back, it allows you to adjust everything I want to adjust, and it only cost me $219. i've been saying literally for years that I needed to buy a proper office chair, and now I have.
I floated through the rest of the day in a pink cloud of pleased-with-myself. I felt very well.

Date: 2014-09-14 09:34 pm (UTC)I've been dealing with girly issues and fell off the exercise bandwagon beyond periodic 10 minute bursts of yoga at home daily. But I hope to get back on the wagon tomorrow. Its lack has been making me emotionally miserable and my body rather less healthy.
