Yesterday I was in a funk. Just a little bit of this and a little bit of that had me feeling the blues. I even broke down in a few tears while chatting with my bestie Rita. It’s great to have a shoulder to cry on even from thousands of miles away. Nothing like a good cry with your girls.
Today was supposed to be the start of my April Wellness to myself challenge. I did good with food (no bingeing,) and I ate healthy snacks. But I was so exhausted this morning from another late night. In other words I did not get a good nights sleep. I really should be sleeping now but hey baby steps. I also didn’t go for my run or walk which was supposed to happen on Monday. Then the Hubs came home and I asked him if we could do some boxing drills. We did more than box and it was so worth.
Boxing Away The Blues
The Workout:
Boxing
Squats, Lunges and Mountain Climbers with shadow boxing in between (3 sets of each)
High Knees and sparring drills (3 sets)
Jump Rope (2- 3 minute sets)
Post workout I took a long hot shower, laid out my running gear for tomorrow and drank 35 ounces of water.
And just like that boxing cured my blues.
