A.M. -
Apparently when you are exhausted from exercise, you shouldn't be allowed to lay down on the bed prior to taking a shower. Let's just say, thankfully I hadn't started the water yet or it would have still been running this morning.
But, I got up this morning early, jumped in the shower, and now the day is before me. I'm a little achy, but again, that's alright. I can feel myself getting healthier already. I won't get home until seven tonight, so I'm thinking some light stretches and relaxation may be in order.
Tomorrow may do something fun like go for a walk. I'd like to start playing raquetball again, but no partner. Lisa, are you listening? Plus, I'm pretty sure my energy level isn't up for that yet. But I know it will be, so that is fine for now.
Will give you an evening update, but I hope you all have a wonderful weekend. I have a lot to do in addition to writing this blog. Exercise (of course), work on the book (duh), finish the Writer's Guild newsletter (a few days late, well, not really, but close), spend time with my kids and Hubs (bonfire tomorrow night), go to church, and relax. Sounds like a good weekend.
P.M. -
Wow, today was an icky day. But, I'm finally home. My girlie-q's are cleaning their rooms. Hubs had dinner starter. So, it is definitely looking up. I decided to just stretch tonight. I am amazed at my lack of flexibility. I use to could sit and stretch over my legs and put my chest on my legs or the floor. I could put my hands flat behind my legs when stretching standing up.
I'm trying to be optimistic. A lot of years and pounds have happened since then. Many years of not working out, eating too late, too many sodas. Yet, I know that I can achieve my goals.
I'm still trying to figure out just exactly what my goals are. Such as, how much weight do I want to lose, just how "fit" do I want/need to be, how can I improve my feelings of self? I know for the most part where I want to go, just not sure the path to take.
Before you think I'm all starting this willy nilly, I'm not. I know exactly where my thoughts are. In fact, the book already has a chapter done. Hopefully this weekend I can expound on that and plunge forward. It's been a good few days. I feel quite motivated to continue with this pilgrimage of self-discovery/improvement. Hey, life is too short to not be/do more. I'm just saying...
Gary: If you want it bad enough you can do anything! Just believe in yourself and the rest will follow!!! (10/15/10)
Sarah: Kristin, It is not about a number on the scale. It is about being healthy not skinny. Of course I can say that because I have never been skinny! LOL Remember, life is a journey not a destination. Get to where you are happy and to hell with the scale!! (10/16/10)
