Exercise Journal Week 8

With the various lurgies dying down and the underlying health conditions largely behaving themselves, it's back to business with the morning stretches. I'm leaving out the core work and the planned back and shoulder work for this week as I think easing back into it is better than burning all the way out. My cats have decided that the calf stretching is prime time for trip hazards. They've never winded around my legs as much as when I'm staring at a wall trying to get a stretch out of it.

This week's energy expenditure has been really weird. The interview on Monday was a full work day, no lunch, of scenarios and interviews. All social interactions and heavy thinking. It was a great experience and I didn't have a huge energy crash after like I expected, the next day I was still hyped up from it. I spent a lot of time writing for most of the rest of the week, nipped out for a crafts club meeting on Friday evening and generally felt good about it.

Sunday was a hard day, I skipped the workout in the morning as I was going all day and needed the extra sleep to make it through. A lot of emotion at the Quaker Meeting in the morning was hard to manage, followed by reviewing my Grandma's possessions her house gets sold to pay for the care home she's recently moved into. I got home late having been out all day, drank 2L of coke ate the biggest chocolate bar I could find and absolutely crashed out.
