Exercises the third week of January
Comments (14)Walked the dog and did leg workout. I have been avoiding workouts since I got a gym membership - last year. It totally uninspired me and had been working out routinely before joining? I am still confused by this. There is a lot of renovations being done here so I was also using that as an excuse also. Yesterday was my first real workout in awhile. I didn't go crazy because I don't want to feel it too much....See MoreExercises the fourth week of January
Comments (13)I'm glad to see that I can come here to get some motivation on the days that I am slacking! Walked 7 miles today -- cold, wind chill was the big issue, but the sun was out for most of the day -- the first day that I can remember in weeks! I had put on too much weight so far this year, and had really allowed myself to get deconditioned after a series of injuries (including broken toes followed by plantar fasciitis). I miss the feel-good of running but just couldn't seem to get myself up and out -- I guess fear of the foot pain returning had something to do with that. So I took vacation days this past week, set last Monday as the day, cut out grains, sugars, milk and legumes, and dusted off my "The Firm" exercise videos (plus a few others). So far so good -- I've alternated videos with walking, even jogged a few minutes, every day. It is back to work on Wednesday; hopefully I've far enough into the "reset" to keep my momentum after working 12 hour shifts....See MoreExercises almost the end of January& beginning of February
Comments (16)I'm just beginning to exercise for real again after all the problems associated with my chemotherapy for the lymphoma diagnosed in July. Have my "ok" from the doctor and have an appointment next Wednesday for an evaluation at the fitness center. I'm anxious to start, but want to be careful not to aggravate any old injuries that have healed while I've been a couch potato. I've been walking the dog about 15 minutes twice a day for the last several days. Moni--please keep these posts going, I'm sure it will help my motivation as soon as I get started. :)...See MoreJanuary, week 3, still need rain.
Comments (23)Waking up to gentle rainfall was just lovely. We didn't get much, but it was a nice rain even so. Larry, you could get a small pack of the salad turnips and plant them in containers close to your house. If y'all eat salads, planting them close would make it super easy to grab a couple when you make the salads. I'm trying to stay focused on simplicity. It's so hard when there's so many things to grow. At some point it's very possible we'll need to drive to Oregon this spring or summer. I just need to keep it all simple. It's also becoming apparent to me, that I need to stay firm on not getting more pets. I'll get chickens, but they're the easiest to care for. I say this now, but 10 minutes ago, I was thinking about how I need pet bunny. LOL It's likely that Ethan will be moving to Oregon, which will mean trips to Oregon for me. Just thinking about how I'm going to manage all of my pets (with their special needs), is overwhelming. If this is my life, then once these pets cross, I'll need to have one pet only. One pet would be easy to arrange care for on my trips to Oregon. Rick can handle the gardens. My neighbors can handle the chickens. It's the high maintenance dog and cats that are the issue. Anyway, simplicity in the garden this year. I restarted my kombucha tonight. THIS is one thing I need to stay up with. And my sprouts. I ordered more sprouting seeds. I did this for years and then just stopped a couple of years ago. The fire cider is looking nice. And the sauerkraut that I started a couple of days ago, is looking and smelling right. I'm really looking forward to making more fermented pickles too. My herb focus has been decided: calendula, chamomile, tulsi, valerian, and rosemary. Those are the 5. I'll grow the others too, but study those 5....See More- 9 years agolast modified: 9 years ago
