Reflections: after feeling exhausted throughout the week, I decided to take a personal day and stay home all day. Even thought I worked out in the morning, and I took care of some chores around the house, it was a true day of recovery for the body AND the mind. While my office job is not physically demanding, sitting in a windowless office all day can drain you of your energy. So, after getting my teeth cleaned, I run some errands, set up camp on the couch, and watched three decent movies (“Friends with Kids,” “Jeff Who Lives at Home,” and “50/50”). Besides the entertainment, I got to eat salad 4 times today – a treat, since salad is my favorite type of dish. I thought that by taking it easy I would not have an appetite, but I had no problem eating all day (and my afternoon snack was more of an “afternoon meal”).
Sleep: good (8.5 hours)
OVERALL: feeling relaxed and ready to tackle Friday!
