I stuck to my routine while I was off for the week but I am now back to work and that routine. I find comfort in my routine. I like that I get up at the same time each day, have my regular routine of working out, shower and getting ready for work. If it's the weekend or I'm off I take a more relaxed approach to the day.
I am finding it challenging to get back to the work routine. I really did not want to get up this morning. I was tired, I had a headache and just did not feel like doing the workout today. I pushed through it and actually felt better after my workout. It's strange but I do find my workouts do help me feel better. I'm glad that when I have days like today I can push myself and do the workout. I feel better for having done it.
I brought a treat into my coworkers when I went back to work. I baked cookies and decorated them all pretty like. I was told they were good. I love to bake and like sharing what I bake with others. I also tried a new more difficult recipe, Raspberry French Macaroons. It did not go well at all, Many swear words later I had nothing to show for my 3 plus hours in the kitchen. I think this quest we're on has given me the confidence to push myself further and not accept failure. I will try them again and succeed.
A picture of my handy work. If you look closely at the wreaths there are snowflakes, candy canes and gingerbread men. I had fun making them.
I continue to push myself beyond the working out. I am pushing myself to challenge myself in my baking, in the food I'm preparing and eating, the clothes I'm wearing and no longer accepting being in the background. I feel like I'm rambling tonight but I'm allowed to! I'm writing the blog!
