Physical: TOTAL WIN! (yoga, walking, playing with dog, diet, sleep)
Willpower: WIN! (reading, game design, meditation, cooking, cleaning)
Emotional: PASS (walk in nature, dog)
Social: PASS (visiting with friends, corresponding with family)
Another well-rounded day. I made a salad for dinner--not much of an accomplishment for most people, granted, but I haven't made them often so I'm counting it for some willpower. And with the reading and game design and meditation on top, that's an easy win.
Also had another 20,000 step day on top of doing yoga in the afternoon. I'm becoming a serious contender on the Victoria Fitbit boards (though nowhere near top spot--my friend Mark has that nicely sewn up for a long time yet). I'm solidly fourth-to-third on the weekly board and 17th on the month, since I started a week late. On active minutes I just took fourth spot on the monthly board, though.
Yoga is feeling different these days. In the last couple of months, I've been more active with yoga than at any point in my past, I think, even though each session is a bit milder than normal because it is self-directed. But my muscles have reached a new density now, which means they can flex stronger for less work and feel better when doing so. I'm starting to view the floor more abstractly, as a surface that can be interacted with in a number of ways rather than just that ground thing that you stick to. It's almost like being an astronaut, floating in space, and then coming across a surface that accelerates toward you. Standing and walking is a perfectly acceptable way of interacting with that surface, but only one of many.
I'm not sure if that makes any sense outside of a yoga meditation. In practical terms, it makes planks and side planks interesting.
