Challenge 129: Get to my sister's fundraiser

May 20, 2010

I may have gone a little overboard with my waking up experiment. I set the alarm for 7:30 this morning, and that felt...tired. BUT, when I tried to go back to sleep until 8, I couldn't. So I just stayed in bed cuddling with Coach and Bucket. And now I feel good. It's 8:30 and I've already called my step-dad to wish him a happy birthday, eaten breakfast, had tea, checked all my emails and Facebook, AND checked Perez. My morning routine, minus dog walk and shower, is already finished and it's not even 9. And THAT feels good. I decided to hop back in bed, under the warm covers and with the puppy, to write this. Having this extra time is so relaxing.

Yesterday the challenge was to get to the gym, and a challenge it was indeed. I had to get my car from across town, and then drive to downtown Oakland in traffic in order to make it. But I did it! And I'm so glad I did. One of the first steps in my new health plan, and I think it's (along with the sleep thing) going to make me feel a lot better. Other than the gym, I had a busy coaching day. Coaching call, certification call, supervision call. All good stuff. I'm loving being in certification and am sad that it's almost over. BUT, I'm learning this new thing that I think will really add to my coaching, and I can continue that even after certification is over.

Today is another big, long coaching day and I'm really excited. I have some things I need to do to follow up with clients, emails etc. But I'll do those anyway, so I'm not going to put it as a challenge. A big challenge for me would be getting to the city tonight for my sister's fundraiser. I'm not sure I can swing it with my clients, but I would really like to be there for her and support her, so I'm putting it on the list.
