It’s another Saturday. As usual, I’m caving in my house to write. This morning was different. It’s public holiday so I have no class, but I went to train with one of the ladies I train with at the gym just the two of us. It was calming as both of us are kind of introvert people and don’t talk a lot. We just focused on our own trainings, listen to music and chitchat for a bit. Managed to train for a good 2 hours, working on my techniques and did some athlete WOD prepared by our coach. It was a nice training/me time for me.
While training, out of nowhere I received a text and some missed calls from one of the members that I teach at the gym. I did not give out my phone numbers to everyone, but somehow she managed to reach me. She must be so desperate that time that she tried to connect with anyone at all working at the gym! As it happened, there’s no staff working at LUF gym today and she was having issues with the locker – it won’t open up. I know how devastating that feels. I did my best to help her out. One of the staffs managed to get in touch with her. Problem solved, I hope the incident didn’t ruin her day. I feel like a star and a reliable worker for a bit (though I only work there part time) that someone I barely know and taught only about 3 classes reached out to me for help.
Reached home, I was so hungry I immediately ordered food. I ate so much, then slept, and ate again. I tried to rest and calm my body a bit in preparation to write. It took about 4 hours for my body and mind to settle down (managed to roll into writing after meditation). Apparently, my coffee and donuts strategy isn’t working anymore. Which is a relief as I can’t do it to myself anymore loading on excessive sugar just to keep writing. Can’t be too hungry because of training. I had enough sleep and my training was kind of light today. Maybe it’s the aftermath of yesterday’s training. My upper body still is a bit tender from all the pull up drills. Point is I ate just too much and I don’t know why.
Nothing new about writing, still suck to my core but at least I managed to write a few paragraphs and added 1000+ words today. 15,000 to go. For real. I did a quick look up, at least everything is in place except for Chapter 6. I’m going to focus on this moving forward. I’ve got 1 more week to refine my thesis before sending my draft for panels screening. Deep in my core, I feel so calm, like there’s nothing to worry about, like it believes in my ability. But at the same time, my logical mind says, look at the reality, there’s more to write! I’m getting obsessed already. I’m going to meditate one last time today, shower and plan for tomorrow’s write.
