jenniferdonahue's Journal, 26 August 2021

Feeling a new kind of good. I've been "fit" before but never healthily so. I either was too glib about skipping meals or exercising too hard at the expense of stamina.

All of what I'm doing has been in acknowledgement of where I am at in my life as well as who I want to be. Fit. Resilient. Well. Happy. Vital. Confident. My son is my inspiration as are the women who came before me. My mom. My granny, my grand-grandmother. Each was a model of fierce motherhood and feminine strength. Triumphing over innumerable hardships, they gave the best example to me.

I hope to do the same for my son.

Today is the last day before my husband and I head on a road trip to a wedding in upstate NY. I've planned meals and snacks as well as exercise, but there will be a break from my routine. That's good. It will allow my body to not be set in its ways. Different exercise, different foods, etc. Changing it up will be good. When I return, I will near the end of August when I switch to my swimming routine to really mix up my body's fat burning.

Cheers to health and happiness.

I did have a great trip. Thanks to those who responded. The planning for eating healthy fuel while savoring birthday cake and a cocktail was very helpful. Still, I found myself so tired because I wasn't able to optimize the value of the calories around me. Empty calories made me so tired. I apologized to my husband for my fatigue and crankiness, but I'm back on the uptick now in terms of getting my energy back thanks to the good food and the constant hydration. His support was great. He helped me so much, and that meant everything. That I maintained my fitness through all the deviations from my home program made me so happy. The wedding was gorgeous. I felt good and danced the night away. The dancing hard was the best part. So much fun. My body felt great. This is the payoff.
