In some ways I feel like I've been on auto-pilot for the past year-- maybe several. In many ways, life has just been so busy and the juggle of all I do has just become intuitive. Sundays are days to rest, catch up, maybe think and certainly enjoy. I stayed up late last night watching a documentary on Netflix (see below), so sleeping in until after 9am was needed. I've always known sleep was essential to good health, but I've learned that lack of sleep makes you fat. I used to think that if you slept less, you'd burn more calories, but it's the opposite. It's stress that makes one fat and sleep is the best way our bodies know how to process stress. I allowed myself the morning to "process" instead of doing laundry.
I waited until it was 10 degrees to walk Balt this morning-- that was at 11am-- but the wind chill made it feel like negative 2. I made it to a noon hot yoga class that did magic. I hadn't eaten anything all day, still wondering what I might be doing. After watching Hungry for Change I was thinking about juicing. I would still like to but I won't start today. I continued with Ayurvedic diet and made a delicious lentil soup. But I did make it to the grocery store. I purchased lots of foods for juicing as well as salad stuffs. I was a little taken back by my total at the end-- healthy food costs a lot. An asparagus bunch cost nearly $7 and grapes were $10 for a small bag. The rest of the evening was down time. Jessi recieved a call from the head swim coach of the Naval Academy assuring her that good news was coming and an invite to the campus would be soon. It made for a bit of excitement.
