Commitment to Moving

Woke up today and feeling sad, my brother and I always talked about our favorite football team and yesterday the idea to call him and talk about Sunday's Jets game came to me. . . also, my commitment is waning. . .  I did not go for a walk as planned yesterday and think I've got a little bit of depression setting in. . .  I will try to accomplish something physical today. . .

Oh, and had a little excitement at home yesterday, a big old tree fell down and knocked out the power on my whole block for about 5 hours yesterday. . .  and my house was the only one that had the electrical wires ripped right off the house.  Got home just as they were turning the power back on.

Have a good day. . .

Laureen-

Use the OFF forum to talk about the football game.  We're a poor substitute for your brother but we're here.  As for not moving, remember that moving releases endorphins that help our mood.  I had to turn to grief counseling sessions to help me when  my Father passed.  You might want to consider that as a way to help with your loss.

I moved big time yesterday.  I peddled my elliptical for 60 minutes.  Major shower needed afterwards.  Then I went down the road to my neighbors house and paddled the kayak in the cove.  I'm about to mount the elliptical again this morning.  The jeans are getting looser again so I'm motivated.

My thoughts are with you at this moment.

Silly me....I forgot to post about exercise....

I didn't get out for my walk because of the weather. It was only 83 degrees but the humidity was 85% and dew point was 68%. I didn't dare go outside. I did some things around here instead. Some exercising and stretches. I did my best.

HUGS again...connie d

Laureen,

Don't wane.  Think of your walking in the same way you think of replacing the toilet paper roll...it has to be done.   Put one foot in front of the other and take Roxy out to enjoy the fresh air before the really cold weather sets in.   Please, please, please move today. 

My brother died a few months back and I, like you, think of a million thing I want to call and say to him or talk to him about.   Live for him.  Move for him so you will be moving for years to come.   

I will text you.

Today is my real Yoga day.  I am meeting with a potential new dance partner.  He, too, is gay and will dance with me until my friend gets better.   If my husband would just dance, I'd have a partner. LOL.   

Yesterday, I messed up my ankle so my right knee and my left ankle are both messed up.   Go figure.   

Today was not so good in the movement department.  We had 100 degree heat index so I spent most of the day trying to keep DH from working in the heat.  We got in the car and went to pay summer taxes and than I just keep going.  Took him to eat at Cracker Barrel, his favorite, for pancakes.  Than shopping at Sam's Club.  I got some walking there as I drop him at the door and I go park way out and walk the whole store.  Ran home to swim with the grands for an hour.

Hello Laureen....

Sorry about the memories and the pain it causes you. All I can do is let you know I care and that I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

There sure have been a lot of storms and power outages. I am glad nothing worse happened to your home other then the wires being torn down.

Love and hugs....connie d
