I met my fitness goal for the week. I ran 3 times for 45 minutes, then swam one day for 30 mins. Today I took a 20 min walk which I think counts. I might go for a swim tomorrow.

I had chicken, Chinese broccoli and gnocchi for dinner. It was a larger portion (not all pictured) but so delicious. I find that if I eat smaller portions of my intended dinner I end up snacking later.

Today was a swim day.

I went to therapy today and we talked about how I can feel excitement without feeling hypomanic or manic. I am encouraged to let my energy out and have some fun. 😊 The swim was definitely great.

Another beautiful day in the Pacific Northwest. I went for a run down the trail and did the same run yesterday as well.

My food has been decent. I had a cinnamon bun last night that snowballed into a myriad of snacks including a bag of popcorn. I had a well portioned dinner of veggie enchilada, rice and beans.

So today, I just had the three square meals: breakfast, lunch and dinner. My dinner was the same as yesterdays.

I completed my exercise goal for last week but didn't post because my photo uploads was being wonky.

Today, I got a lazy start. I slept in til church, went to church then came home and did a whole lot of nothing. Managed to meal prep enchiladas that should last me about a week. Then I dawdled until after feeding Gus and went on my run. The weather is beautiful, breezy and warm. Snapped a few pics. Did a 3 mile run.

I went for a swim yesterday and today. One day away from reaching my goal for the week.

I took a selfie before leaving the house this afternoon and got a free filter from the sun.

I am struggling in a lot of ways and worried but grateful it is a worry borne out of precaution and prevention. My life is ok rn but I need to get into gear so it will be ok later.

Some stranger somewhere still remembers you because you were kind to them when no one else was.

I went for a swim. It was transformative and amazingly refreshing. I didn’t snap a pic, so here’s Gus on his new throne that is the couch. He is wearing a cone because he is delicate and has a small abrasion on his face.

The swim was everything I needed it to be. I hadn’t gone to the pool in a couple weeks. I will be going tomorrow.

I meant to go for a swim today but went for a run instead. The weather was perfect and the pathway was full of walkers, runners and bikers. I got in a 40 min run.

I am full of tension and stress. I can feel the load on my shoulders and upper back. I think I might need a deep tissue massage. The run was able to move around some of that pain and tension. Hopefully I can drag myself to the pool so I can feel the water on my nerves.
