Tuesday January 9th 2018...feeling so good

I had a great night's sleep last night and fun dreams... And I woke up feeling really good. 

I am apparently reorganizng my entire life not just working on my physical condition and, I guess, that is the holistic way to do it.

I moved armchairs around again today..some heavy duty exercise for my body for sure.  Once I was done, I relaxed a little while because I earned it.  grins.  And the  it was on the bouncer for 20 minutes...much harder than before, some time spent bouncing hard enough for me feet to leave the surface. .jumping..exhilerating..was aware lf the blood rushing through my body as the much higher level of cardio took hold.   I slowed down once my body reached its peak.  I have some practice to do here as I used to be able to sustain that level of activity for much longer than I did today.   My level overall was higher today than it has been.

Hungry and time to eat but I did six pull ups while waiting for the food to cook..

I moved boxes and plants around in the exercise palace after I was done bouncing so the energy is better and I am beginning to plan the reorg of the garage so I can have Amvets come and pick everything up.

Writing this as I let my lunch digest.

So the poem puts today into perspective
The sudden  grief wiped me out.  I literally felt nauseous.
But as the day went on, I got the urge to move the living room furniture around and so i did.  Tables and armchairs and the couch. .all had their turn and I would say I got my exercise for the day after all.  Very unexpected.   And the  I lay with my legs up the wall, letting my body relax.

It was a good day after all

Monday January 8th 2018... There is no rush

Another wave of grief today
Out of the blue 
Still cannot clear off Mum's dresser
So it can wait for another day
Over 6 months have gone by
And still it wells up suddenly
Add to that a sad ending
Of a lovely email relationship
And I know that now is all about
Letting go
It is about endings
It is about new beginnings
And I am working on me
I am beginning to shape my life
I am allowing myself to feel
To be truthful with me
To not hide from me
Not an easy task to be sure
Looking deep inside 
So do not want to do that
Understanding me - so not easy
It is time to be kind to me
So all my plans for today - poof
It is a day to coddle me
For comfort foods
For the couch and a good movie
A day to drift and be
The weather outside
Cold, freezing rain changing to rain
The day is improving
And I am improving
Slowly
For there is no rush
It is one day at a time
Allowing me to take things slowly
On my journey 
To be me

Sunday January 7 2018

I had oatmeal with raisins banana  honey and half and half and my tummy was not happy with me sigh.   So it was later to bed and later to rise.   Had a larger breakfast than usual as I have friends coming over at 2 and we will have wine and snacks so not planning on eating before.  Off to Trader Joes before exercise but one of my friends was there and followed me home as her appt cancelled.  So Imlost my 2 hour window prior to the other two arriving.   By the time theynall left at 6 o'clock I was wiped.   So tomorrow is another day.  I wanted to entertain more in the New Year, it just started sooner than I thought.

Saturday January 6 2018

To sleep late and up late and feeling good.

Had  late modest breakfast and after it had settled it was time to take the decorations off the tree and then take the tree down.   I am 5 ft 2 and the tree is well over 6 ft with very dense greenery.   and I thought I saw that they do not pick up trees here.  So I cut up the branches and filled two garbage bags until there was a naked trunk.  Now that I could handle and I did.   Vacuumed and all signs of our evergreen was gone.  Living room restored once more and an exhausted me happily on the couch watching a movie.

The wbole tree thing took quite a few bours of dedicated labor but it felt great.  I ,ove being independent.

Tomorrow back to my normal routine and I can start really getting my exercise I love me room into shape.

Friday January 5th 2018

I slept so well last night with vivid dreams about friends.

I talked to a friend yesterday who is set on losing weight.   I also wish to be healthier hence my choice of veggies last night instead of my beloved fries.  Happily the vegetables were so tasty and colorful that I actually enjoyed the meal more with the  pleasure of the beauty, the textures and the flavors.

Alarm at 7:15 this morning and snoozed for a while.  Feelng good.  I took my vitamins yesterday including 1000 mg of calcium.  My body is naturally alkaline and I have been eating a somewhat acidic diet so kt ks a good step, one I will repeat today

I had only one egg at breakfast and added in half an avocado.  It was so good and so pretty with the tomato, the over easy egg and the mushrooms and bacon.

Part of my whole rebuilding me includes beginning to organize my home and my daily habits, in fact, all parts of my life.  I thought this blog was about my exercise but that is actually just a part of my journey.   It is fascinating how this is all coming about.  And writing like this is making me focus more on all of it.  Writing this as I take a break from taking down decorations using the two step stool.  up and down a d up and down..  grins.  I am actually organizing them this year.   Good for me,  The new me!

I did my 20 minutes plus on the bouncer and the another 25 minutes doing my legs up the wall and all the exercises I have develped to include with that.

I took down all the Christmas decorations that required thr two step ladder...up and down and up and down.  grins.  Really good at that.

Wenf dancing with friends so we can add 90 minutes of joyful aerobic dancing to my day.  Loved it.
