Time to Survive a Zombie Apocalypse

It's been a difficult one today and the only exercise I've managed to get in is a couple hours walking around birmingham. My abs are feeling it and my legs feel so heavy today that I've missed my yoga day. But going by what physio told me earlier in the year sometimes you need to know when to rest and not beat yourself up about it!

It has certainly been a couple days of you can do anything you put your mind to! And so I lay on this sofa buzzing that I've achieved some goals! Aside from achieving my masters degree yesterday, yoga wise I completed both my challenge days. They were pretty intense and I'm sure my abs will be burning tomorrow. I have also returned to the fated zombies run where I was doing some training drills. The fact I have managed to do two workouts in one day and with no lack of motivation is awesome!! I'm sure my body is at war with my brain and I'll have to add some additional nutrition to fuel this way of life but I'm just so impressed with myself!! I'm pretty sure I could just lay down for the rest of the week now....

Yoga again! A shorter twenty minute back pain session and I can tell I worked out yesterday. There were a lot of planks in such a small amount of time and a very loud yell of 'oh god my abs' could be heard for miles. Probably needed the shorter session for a bit of recovery as random side muscles I didn't know existed are aching slightly. Tomorrow's session looks shorter still which is probably a good thing as I'll be starting running again.

The strangest thing just happened with my day 3 yoga practice...attempting to balance and I actually laughed at myself..like a genuine smile...having been through depression and serious bouts of zombie brain fog I never thought I would ever smile at myself of all people...it has literally just made me super happy emotional. Remember I'm a scientist and spirituality is not really a thing for me but exercise, that I loathe, just made me laugh ...at myself...and I'm pretty sure I hate myself so yeah. I'll keep you informed, me, zombie controlled me!

Well wow, day 2 of yoga challenge completed! It was a tough one and the shakes set in causing me to skip a rotation of downward dog and plank but mostly complete! Afterwards I had a little think of yesterday's practice and a little emotion stirred that I had actually sucked up and done it when I almost bailed again. Almost proud of myself! Strange feelings of self belief...

I missed some days.. .not quite sure what I did 😂 BUT I am organised! And so I have completed Day 1 yoga with Adrienne and had a walk round town. Exercise!
