Self-administered Yoga (24/100)

Tonight at dinner I was feeling weighed down and unsatisfied with weekend lethargy. It felt like I'd wasted the whole day, which was not really true, but that's the attitude my mind had adopted. I did some good critiquing and writing this morning; I had lunch with a friend; but then I came home and read and napped on the couch by the fire.

I don't know to what degree my lethargy was caused by being tired and needing recuperation or whether it was a symptom of not doing anything active. Therefore, after dinner, before we watch a movie, I took myself into the bedroom and did some yoga. I feel more awake now and like I've done something worthwhile. I even accomplished something that I wasn't sure I could do: the plank for two minutes. My friend had been on a two-minute plank challenge a while ago and I always wondered how long I could last. She started at just under a minute and got to almost two minutes of holding the position before the month-long challenge ended. She seems like a fairly strong, fit person so I figured I wouldn't be able to match her starting time, let alone get to two minutes. But I did! I might try to add that to my daily routine like my friend did and see how long I can stretch the time to.
