Day 12
I woke up before the alarm today, which is good. I then went for my 15 minutes exercise and decided to take the bicycle out for a ride. I followed a 4.6 mile around Ballacrye and The Cronk which took me 18 minutes. Being relatively early in the morning and travelling along some country roads I came across about 20-30 small rabbits jumping around in the road. It is really nice and quiet this time of the day. I think I may do this more often, when the weather is good, and while it is still the summer and light allows it.
Other than the early morning exercise there is no other exercise scheduled today. I still had a little muscle stiffness when I woke up but this has pretty much gone by this evening.
One thing that is unusual is that I fell asleep for 90 minutes when I came home from work yesterday. The same thing happened today. I had an overwhelming need to just lie down and sleep. I don’t know if this is a response to:
- intense levels of exercise
- more healthy eating causing toxins to flush out, or
- not getting enough sleep at night
My masticating juicer arrived yesterday. It is an Oscar VitalMAX. I haven’t taken it out of the box yet but will do when I get a bit more time over the weekend. The big decision is do we now get rid of the centrifugal juicer? I guess we will have to try it out and see what works.
I must try and get an early night tonight to see if I still need that after work ‘nap’ tomorrow. If I can get the kids to bed early I may also treat myself to a nice soak in the bath.
