PetiteSheWolf , running 4-5 times a week I only had to add an evening walk on the other days to get to 10k steps, but there's no time for that anymore.
Thank you, Montserrat , lofivelcro , Fremen , TopNotch (I used to like beetroot exactly until one day I got sick after having a generous amount of pickled beetroot with my lunch. It's not the beetroot that made me sick, but my mind has made the connection, and now there's no turning back.), JCU , huma , Silent Wolf , FirstAgeDragonWolf , Anek , Whirly , Gandhalfit , HellYeah !

Far from a perfect day, I had to do two days worth of work done in one day. That meant being sedentary all day, which doesn't help raise energy levels. But I didn't become impatient and stayed productive, so I think I did well!Comment

This weekend we went to the place where we'll have this year's Tolkien camp. There were some workshops, but the main goal was team building among the organisers.
Stress management:
I kept a good balance between interacting with people to build relationships and allowing my introverted self to rest.

I allowed myself not to work today and spent time with my boyfriend's family, then, in the evening, on organising another event of the society. There was some stress eating, but oh well, I can't be too strict with myself.Comment

With the Hungarian Tolkien Society's 20th anniversary celebrations coming up and with having to work more now because I'll work less in the next two months (hardly matters though. food is getting ridiculously expensive), I barely have any time. I'll try to post here more often though, just because the Hive is such a nice and relaxing place.

Stress management:
I'm getting better at turning stress into action and avoiding avoidance.
Still, I just want to survive this week. The four-day celebration of the Society's 20th birthday would be tiring in itself, but as a main organiser, it's exhausting… My boyfriend (also one of the main organisers) is worried that the whole team will be so stressed about it, that none of us will be able enjoy the event itself.Comment

Afternoon
-- 90 min run
This was supposed to be a 2 hour run, but I was short on time, stressed and also it was my fifth consecutive day of running (or sixth if I count last Saturday's short jog). I had to switch up the days so because I'll be away from home for most of the next three days, and I don't want to skip any runs when it's a marathon I'm training for.
Stress management:
Baking cookies doesn't go well even with mild stress (the cookies are fine, my body on the other hand suffered from the excess sugar I happened to consume), but I still think I did rather well considering how busy the day was.Comment

Good luck with the event, I hope you'll be able to enjoy it yourself!Comment
