The last few days I've managed at least a mile of walking every day, mostly to and from the bus, but I missed a bunch more #YWAHome. Today I doubled up & finished Day 20, which I thought would be a nice stretchy yin session but there was some more core stuff in it SNEAKY.
Went out for another after-dinner walk with my spouse. #FrozenFeet2020 has been gentle encouragement for my body *and* my marriage.
#MoveIt2020 i gave up (or maybe: i gave in)
i gave up the idea of daily sessions. instead helping me overcoming my lazyness and establish some form of pactise, it did more harm on my mental health because i was beating me down for not doing anything or not enough, or not putting enough efford in (when there was actualy no time and or headspace or energy and other forms of selfcare were more important even when they served my lazyness).
but i try to opt in when there is time
Yesterday: Got up too late to walk all the way to books to prisoners, but walked almost a mile to find a car, then a mile and a half to the munch. Did #YWAHome day 16 when I got home - holding it steady at 2 days behind schedule.
Today: I had some digestion yuck last night and called in sick. Felt mostly better this afternoon, except v foggy from lack of sleep. Did not go out for a walk, did do yoga Day 17, which left my elbows feeling weird.
thinking of (and to an extent prioritising) Movement as Good and as a precursor to More Good has been really fruitful these past few days. if I walk to a lecture then that is Two different good things to motivate myself with. Making it a personal goal is so nice compared to it being just a dreary prerequisite for doing most things

just fastly vacuum the room before yoga, i said, ok... just tidy up a bit before yoga i said... WELL... just put the cushion the cat puked on into the washing mashine... and THEN do you yoga. ok, interrupt your yoga, cause cat pukes again, continue yoga. clean up yourself, i said, i stink. now unstunk and happy to just wait till i can hang up the washing and then do another one. thanks cat.

Also, we took a 1-hour walk while it was snowing a wee bit. #FrozenFeet2020
Did this Yin Yoga sequence by Yoga with Kassandra as my morning yoga: https://youtu.be/O0uZGJAiRI4
Yesterday felt like a write off in a lot of ways - stayed too late at work not doing enough, no walk, no yoga. But I'm being hard on myself - I did get some data import code written, and my walk to & from the bus stops added up to a bit over a mile. So, #FrozenFeet2020 after all.
Tonight I grabbed my spouse for an after dinner loop around the park, and did #YWAHome day 15. Pictured: someone's very excited rose bush.
