I just got in from Physical Therapy. It is helping my balance issues. I was at the pool right after school for 30 minutes. I just had a protein shake and a half a cup of organic blueberries. I have an online therapy session in 15 minutes and then I am meeting a friend for dinner. I am definately feeling more awake now than usual. I attribute that to breathing exercises that I did in the pool today- i swam a little and I walked more, more my arms in the water, in front of me. I definately felt the shift in my energy level as I did the breathing exercises. My mind also calmed down. When I stopped the breathing with awareness, my mind started right up again-I have to pay this bill and then I have to make this call and blah blah blah-I went right back to the breathing exercises and my mind chatter stopped. I have to get back to meditation too. How was your day? I do not like the sound that leaf blowers make and today I heard them earlier by the pool and now I am hear them down the block. I did buy noise cancelling headphones that I will use sometimes. On my eating plan, bread is not allowed. I started off strong in July which lasted through the middle of November. Since then I have days where I follow what I know will help my decrease in weight and many other days lately, I do not. Like today I had a scooped out toasted very dark everything bagel with tuna-there is something that I just love about the crunch of that toasted bagel. I am moving all over the place not sure where to go or be with my words. I will say that I am sorry that I have not been able to read as many slices and make comments as I would like to-I also realized that I really like positive feedback and when I don’t get it, I feel a bit rejected-probably an old issue coming up. To be looked at-yes. Does anyone else feel like this? Last question for now-who sleeps through the night? I ask bc I had that 10 hour sleep Friday night after the breathing exercises in school-my usual is like being up every three to four hours for a bathroom break. I have to figure out when to stop drinking water for the day. All suggestions are welcome. Thank you.
