This weekend I had a blast down in Daytona at the 24 hours of Daytona, Rolex car racing! From not worrying about food, to enjoying time with friends, camping in my car, and much, much more … it was truly a fun and freeing weekend!!
Of course, I couldn't help but think of recovery - well, and Ed's obnoxious voice really!! You see, being so close to the race track and hearing those cars zoom by, it was hard to have a conversation. Actually, it was pretty impossible and even though we put ear buds in to deafen out the cars, you could still hear them! Ed's voice is as loud as those cars are and to be honest, it was often impossible to drown out his obnoxious drivel. Listening for the recovery voice was virtually impossible because you couldn't hear it's quiet whisper above that yelling.
So how can you fight back? Well, for us we had to find new and creative ways of hearing each other! We texted or used the notepad feature on our phones, we went and sat in our car where it was a little quieter, or we found a quieter place where we could really talk. And so in fighting Ed, you have to find those same ways to listen to recovery …. perhaps ensuring you make a phone call, planning dinner with a friend if hitting that meal plan is tough, or simply going for a walk to get out in the fresh air.
What are you going to do this week to fight back against Ed's din? Go on, I DARE you to try something new!!
Zoom, zoom!!!!!
