I’m hitting a big reset on my mind, body and soul. Lately I’ve been feeling that I have to make some small changes and get back to basic healthy living. I am not feeling as wonderful as I know I should. I’m getting stressed by life and letting it colour my world.
I’ve also been inspired by Lindsey who is the middle of a 21-day fall reset eating challenge. Sometimes it’s just makes sense to take a deep breath, stop and hug a tree.
I am not really doing a food or exercise. My plan is to simply listen to my body and do what feels right. I’m talking about my runs, WODS and what I put into my body. I am trying to find that perfect balance that does not leave me feeling frazzled and stressed.
I absolutely love read wine and I drink way too much of it. But I thought if I really want to give my body the love it deserves, I have to make changes. Last week I was at the pub with friends and I had one too many pints. I felt horrible the next day. It’s so silly. I work so hard to stay in shape yet I throw it away by over indulging. So it is out with the booze.
I have been swimming a lot in the last couple of weeks. Renee came out with me last night to swim laps. (My chubby toes are on the right). I am going to keep up swimming this winter. Yvonne mentioned a triathlon in Nelson that she loves. I am considering giving it a try next year. But I really must work on my swimming. I’d like to take stroke lessons but the offered times never seem to work with my schedule. Cross your fingers that it works for me this time!
I have big running plans this weekend – Canmore on Saturday and Kananaskis on Sunday. I lucked out for a change. I usually have to beg people to go to the mountains or trails with me. Like I said earlier this week, it’s been a rough one. (They always are after a holiday).
I plan to hug a lot of trees.
What are your plans for the weekend? Have you ever hit “reset” on your body/mind?
I'm getting back into swimming too and it has been amazing. Have fun with the changes you make and enjoy the mountains this weekend, I am so jealous!!
Thanks!
Hitting reset and being inspired to try new things. Good for you Crystal. I came to the same conclusion this summer and am looking forward to swimming improvements too. I'll be following along!
Thanks buddy! Hope to see you soon!
