Slow start to a big finish day

Today started WEIRD.

I was in bit of a slump this morning and even though I had woken up with Abs for when she had to go to work at 7:45, I really struggled to find a groove.

It got until about 11 when I realised I had barely not looked at my phone screen, something I have been trying to avoid quite a lot recently. I was honestly quite disappointed with myself as I had felt like I'd regressed, but now looking back I realise I was just being hard on myself in the heat of the moment, and there is a lot to learn from days like this.

I am thinking about planting a '60min tree' when I initially wake up on days like this, this will probably help me avoid the fatigue I feel from staring at that thing all day!

Come 11 and I had had enough. I finally summoned the strength to do something and I got a hell of a lot done in that time, such as picking up my epilepsy medication, Buying some new flowers for Abs and the house, cleaning the house and getting quite a lot done on sorting out my emails.

On the way to the pool I rang my Mum, and on the way back, my Dad and had a lovely chat with both of them, this always makes me feel more at peace with myself, as I felt I could talk about this and get it off my chest, another persons opinion always helps me get me in the right head frame and affirm I am on a good path for me.

The backstroke session in the pool tonight was gruelling but I had one of the best backstroke sessions I have ever had which was a great feeling. I was just going for it and thinking about how to get good reps in. My skills felt the best they had in a long time and I was constantly aware of what pace I was swimming at, helping me feel very confident in my ability if I were to do a stand up 200m back race at that point!

Evening was spent again watching stranger things and scrubs, but also had a lovely, overdue catch-up with a friend who I hadn't spoken to properly in ages, if you're reading you know who you are!

Tomorrow brings more work on sorting my life/business out and an aerobic butterfly session. BRING IT ON.
