I’m beginning to realize how connected the mind and body are. I’ve been getting overly stressed and using that as an excuse not to work out. In reality, I think the stress is compounded because I haven’t been working out. Crap. Realizing this you would think I would have gotten home on Friday and jumped on the treadmill.
Well, then you would have too high of an opinion of me. I decided that I was too hungry to workout before dinner and then after dinner I was just cranky. Instead of working out I watched hours of Olympic Coverage. Skeleton is really fun to watch!
I also realized that the other Ice Dancer that I helped get citizenship for 4 years ago is now skating for the Hungarians! How ungrateful…
Dan made our favorite Salmon recipe for dinner. Since I was so hungry, I had about twice this amount.
As an additional side Dan made more of TJ’s famous healthy fries.
Unfortunately, a tactical error on our part made it so that most of them burned to a crisp. Darn it.
Also, I loved all your responses to my post about the service we got at Steuben’s on Thursday. One of the manager’s contacted me and asked that I contact him next time I visit so that they can show me good service. It was a nice gesture, but we’ll see. As Kenz said, there are so many other places to go that I don’t need to go back anywhere less than perfect. We’ll see.
Do you listen to your body or ignore all the signs for how to treat it?

I heard on NPR recently (I think it was the show Radio Lab) that you are more likely to make unhealthy decisions when you have a lot on your mind. They did an experiment where they asked people to memorized either a 3 digit number or a 7 digit number and then walk to another room to tell someone the number. As they walked to the next room, they were offered a choice of a fruit salad or chocolate cake. By an overwhelming amount, way more 7 digit number people choose the cake than 3 digit number people.
Congrats on the run!
Here's a link to the story I was talking about: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=122781981
Thanks for the link! I think I heard part of this, it is really interesting. Here's hoping for less stress and more chillaxing!
I try to listen to my body, but when I get stressed it's hard to hear it! But working out is such a great stress reliever, that I rarely miss it. Even though those fries got a bit overcooked they still look good!
