restart

So, last week I let everything slide. I didn't blog, I didn't exercise. I didn't even slip away for my half day with God. Everything went to pot. I was sick, and I had the big calendar project to finish. I survived the week, and I count that a significant achievement.

But this week is a new start. No more slacking. And so it was that I got up this morning determined to get back into rhythm. I still didn't feel great, so I chose one of my less strenuous workouts. But I did it nonetheless. I am definitely not at 100% yet, though. It was rough.

I didn't get much else done on my "to do" list, but it wasn't in a bad way. Some days I just stall out in motivation, or feel so down that I can't get going. But not today. I was physically tired, yes, so I napped a bit. But I also just did other things that I hadn't been able to tend to last week. I went to the market and got food to make supper. I read, I did a bit of writing.

I don't feel bad about the day. It was quiet, restful, and I caught up on some neglected things. However, I know I have a huge list of tasks waiting. I still feel drug out from the dregs of this cold hanging on. I will need to be more on my game tomorrow, but am having trouble really jumping back into things. Start slow and pick up speed: that will be the plan for this week, I guess.
