A great start...with a soggy finish!

Wednesday, April 07, 2010

This morning, did my strength exercises, did 1 'ordinary' mile with Leslie Sansone, followed by 1 fast mile. Then after a short break decided to walk to the mall in the rain. Well, I don't mind getting wet, but lightning is something that I respect. So I turned around and came home when I saw the first flash. Two more flashes very close to me as I walked back to the house. And just as I got to the door (under the porch roof thank goodness!) it started to pour in buckets..which it is still doing.

So, I'll see what the weather is like this afternoon...might get to the mall yet today! In the meantime, gonna read a good book and meditate!

  

A Second Mile!

Tonight I decided to try for 2 miles with Leslie Sansone ... and I'm pleased that I finished the 2 miles (before I was finished! LOL!)

Overwhelmed

Friday, April 02, 2010

Sooooo much going on. Renovations would be more than enough, but both kids will soon move home for summer (and where will we put their stuff, not to mention the furniture)? Easter with DH's family on Sunday, stripping 2 rooms of wallpaper tomorrow, packing for trip coming up, packing to move our stuff home from our housesitting winter adventure. YIKES!

But still, when I put all this into perspective and remember what happened today... well, I'm thankful for the complications in my life right now... because it means I AM alive.

Amen! My philosophy is to wake up and look at the morning. The sun doesn't come up for a while here, it is only 5:13 am. I'm content most of the time. Stay on the positive side because Report Inappropriate Comment

A Positive Change!

Monday, March 29, 2010

Today I removed a wallpaper border from around the top of our laundry room walls. Normally, by now, I'd have so much neck and shoulder pain from all that reaching over my head. But I feel pretty good... It has to be those strength exercises I'm doing 3 times a week!

Way to go! I am doing some heavy physical labor right now and it is so exciting to be able to do it and feel so good and strong. My mantra is light and strong. Report Inappropriate Comment

Thought-Provoking Sentence

Sunday, March 28, 2010

Today, watching Daniel Amen's show while on the treadmill, I heard a sentence I'd never heard before.... "The whiter your bread, the sooner you're dead."

Thanks to a mum who was into healthy eating, I rarely eat white bread (and my mom will soon be 90 so healthy eating just might be one reason for this! She still bakes her own bread most of the time... spelt flour, fortified with ground flax, ground millet, etc... very good, very filling).

Kudos, Mum! When I was younger, I didn't appreciate you limiting my junk food; I now know you were on the right track! Thanks for being tough and showing me a good example.
