Proper Cardio Class

Non stop, full speed, crazy energy

Tomorrow and Thursday is a factory day! I really hope that Bingyin wants to spend some time with me.

Fingers crossed.

Sweet dreams.

I thoroughly enjoyed The Northman movie. 

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11138512/

Yes, it was dark, and it was bloody, and it was trippy at times.

But it was also real and music was great! Cinematography quite impressive too.

I'm ready to go to bed, been a long weekend. 

Tomorrow is a big day. Back at work.

Induction (I should probably really do it!) Meetings. Meditation. Lunch with Jolanta. Class with Kate.

Let's Go

Journaling & Accountability

When you write down all the jobs you want to do in a day and how long you think it would take for you, my total almost comes up to 23 hours (although, that does not count in travel time) 

Let's do basics first!

-Sleep 8 hours

-Eat 2 hours (breakfast/lunch/dinner - eat and prep)

-Work 8 hours

-Active 1 hour (workout/yoga)

-Read 1 hour

-Study 1 hour

-Meditate 30 minutes

-Journal 30 minutes

-Plan the day 30 minutes

-----------------------------------------------

Total of 22 hours 30 minutes

So let's try this! Last weeks 7 day kickstart challenge with Jiri inspired me. And when better to start than on 1st May - today! 

Couple of other things to note:

-Healthy eating (less snacking and sugar, more protein, veggies and fruits)

-Drinking enough water (2-3 liter a day)

-Socialise (face to face and via calls/texts)

-Fast between 8pm and 8am (minimum of 12 hours, if can't do more)

-Mindful about spending money

-On weekends 8 hour work can be replaced by different projects and more socialising, as well as extra hour or so of studying (I know how important it is, I just don't understand why I am not focusing on it enough!)

Thank you 2021

 It’s been an amazing experience. Starting from lockdown (another one) walks with Jolanta and learning to live on my own, getting into habit of cooking myself and eating healthy. Coming back to work in the gym, rocking the fitness part of my life, and being happy with myself. Moving house with Martina in middle of pandemic. And having successful house warming. Making decision to step up and do what I have been wanting for a while - doing yoga teaching course! Leaving Soho House, after almost 7 years. Spending three weeks in Greece soaking up sunshine and knowledge all things yoga. Starting new job, working with Wayne for Arrival company, such a different hospitality environment. Trip to Naples with Jolanta, staying at Elīna’s and exploring the city. And Christmas in Latvia, united with family.

Let's start reading and learning.

-The concrete actions we OBSERVE that affect our well-being

-How we FEEL in relation to what we observe

-The NEEDS, values, desires, etc. that create our feelings

-The concrete actions we REQUEST in order to enrich our lives

And this happened 10 days ago.. Have I read anything more? Not really. 

But I hadn't watched Netflix for almost the whole week, as I was too busy socialising. 

This week I'll try to get a perfect week (doesn't exist) or at least close to.

Will keep my work hours to a set rhythm, keep waking up early, and little bit of social life after work, but nothing crazy, as I am saving money and constantly living over my budget.

Ok. Another day, another addition to the blog piece I didn't finish.

2/5 workouts done.

Socialising

Have had two very social days. 

Yesterday the extra walk was with Kirsty and Jake. So nice to see them both. Did talk a lot about work but that was expected. Jake asked for my input on reception team training at The Ned. I'm really excited. One that I could see the gym, workout and help out! Also, potentially a step towards lunch at the top of The Ned. Rooftop cocktails! Shame Jake has a girlfriend. 

Today - Harry and Meghan! Shame Seb couldn't join but he did have his TRX class (which I am really happy about, at what rate it is developing!). Anyway, it was a beautiful weather, even hot I would say. Especially comparing to yesterday, where I feel like I froze, the wind and rain.. Brrrrr..  An Harry and Meghan, the cutest couple ever! Bought me a coffee and a little pastry in their local shop, the Putney neighbourhood is very lovely! 

Makes me think a little, how easy life would be if we all knew who is our The One, one person in the world that we are perfect for. Or when you know, you know. There is no back and forth, there is no doubt.

participate in social activities; mix socially with others

I think

I'm not gonna try to write every day. because there is nothing much to write everyday.

I should definitely get to the point of sitting down and trying to write a line, but if there is nothing there. 

Well, there is nothing there.

Right?

Highlight of today? Gonna repeat myself, but the early morning walk with Jolanta where we discussed the second chapter of the Rich Dad, Poor Dad book. I do feel like I am managing myself a lot better now, as in I accept the different opinion, even though I don't agree with it. Definitely feel myself growing.
