On a normal Monday I'd have been digging into my lunch by now or making preparations for it after a workout but not today.
Today is a different Monday under extremely different and difficult circumstances when a virus is out there trying to infect everybody, every resident has been asked to keep themselves locked inside their houses and that is exactly what everyone is doing.
The compound is still a safe space and most people are roaming about the premises without any masks and that is slightly hopeful to see but talking about this Monday, it is extremely weird in a way that it lacks the usual buzz and busy air about it.
I, for example am not in the kitchen making lunch because people have volunteered to make lunch for the rest of the week that we are all in isolation and that works for me.
So what's the plan now?
Well, keeping oneself safe and healthy is the top priority and for that I will do everything I can and that means making a few changes in my daily routine.
I am altering my exercise plan so as to avoid any injuries which might make it important for me to visit a hospital or a chiropractor or a physiotherapist. Which means heavy weights are out of the question.
I'm going to stick to more of Pilates, yoga and lighter weights for working out because now is not the time to pull a hamstring or suffer from quadriceps and shoulder problems or neck issues. Neck being the keyword.
I'm slowly getting it on track and let's not hamper the process.
Meat is off the table for now absolutely yes. One can never know the integrity of where the dead animals have been bought and slaughtered, especially in these times and therefore a completely plant based diet is what I'm going to follow except I have bought eggs which will be over cooked and eaten because screw taking any chances.
Nothing cold shall be ingested by moi. Effectively smoothies and frozen banana ice creams are out of question and if there is anything I drink it will only be hot or just boiled, cuz I'm not making my body susceptible to anything.
Precaution is the key here because I want to avoid hospital visits at every cost, seeing those are the places that are most likely to be..um..infected. Moreover during these times of unforeseen future most Hospitals have changed their policies and I don't know if I'll get the usual VIP expat benefits I earlier enjoyed. I know, it's a weak and selfish excuse but let's be clear about how much I enjoy being comfortable at all times, letting myself distress only while I sweat to keep myself fit.
Right.
Onwards to deciding what movie shall be watched today while lunching.
