Treadmill day 11

Distance: 8km

Time: 3 hours

Other activity: 1.45 hrs of serious organizing and cleaning out of spare room, moving a mooountain of junk to clear out.

 

I checked with mapmyrun and today, in total, I burned 1400+ calories.

1. Walking: Got to 3 hours confidently. After yesterday I felt good, no aches or pains. I knocked my first hour down easily and so far the second hour is turning in to the first. I get through it comfortably (so long as I have work to distract me!). Today was the first time I was able to get to the third hour smoothly. It wasn’t like “oh god, third hour” anymore. That’s now the fourth hour’s honour, to be the ‘oh god’ hour.

2. Decided to either go the fourth hour, or clean out the spare room. We spent an hour forty-five mins doing it, I got grooosss sweaty but I didn’t tired that badly and I know that’s all thanks to my walking.

3. To control my chronic anxiety last October I got spreadsheet-tastic. This was for all my business task-management. It was a great success and slowly this has been filtering out in other areas of my life. Since getting on the treadmill I’ve been addicted to browsing two things on the net:

1. Ikea furniture.

2. Websites that talk about organizing/cleaning your place. I’m a big believer that our environment is reflective of our mental space and I decided to follow through on my bedroom. My bedroom is also my office space and especially now I’ve got my treadmill desk set up I wanted it to feel good, to be a peaceful, positive space.

So yesterday I discarded all these clothes I’d been hanging on to, and today I went through make up and my food cupboard. I’ve done a huge clean out, got rid of things I’ve been holding on to for years. It feels great. I hope this train keeps rolling!
