The Hardest Part

The hardest part of my workout is walking out the door and heading to the gym.  Once I'm in the fitness center or at the park I have a very good chance of making my heart race for 30 minutes or more.  Today was no different, as I sat in the chair in my living room after dinner thinking "my get up and go, got up and went"... I forced myself to get in the car and head to the YMCA.

I managed to get in two miles of cardio with 10 minutes of strength training.  I am grateful for my ymca membership.  I am fortunate to teach a weekly teen orientation class that helps pay for it.  I remember when I use to workout for at least one hour and usually two on Saturday mornings, but for now 30-60 minutes is enough to reduce stress and burn a few calories.  Have you gotten your heart rate up today?  Get up and move!

5 Days Post Haylee

It has been five days.  The grieving process has begun for myself and many around me.  It's a  beast this thing called grief.  It attaches to or attacks each of us differently.  When my mother lost my sister Barb, she named her grief George.  I think I too will have a name for my grief.  I've been thinking about Clarence.  I always loved the character Clarence Odbody.    He was only doing what was right and tried to have a little fun along the way.  He kept things simple.  I like simple.  I won't mind if Clarence hangs around awhile. "Strange, isn't it? Each man's life touches so many other lives, and when he isn't around he leaves an awful hole, doesn't he?

Responsible

Responsible: having an obligation to do something, or having control over or care for someone, as part of one's job or role. I am responsible for many things whether I am at work or at home.  I don't always like it.  Sometimes, I do not want to be responsible.  I want to slack off or not care or just be the opposite of responsible.

Vaccine Day!

Image
Today I was able to get my 1st dose of the Pfizer - Covid 19 vaccine. Our county vaccinated 8,000 teachers in two days! It was very well run. I was in and out in less than 30 minutes including the 15 minute wait afterwards. It's been about five hours since and my arm is a bit sore now. I can't remember the last time I got a vaccine. Probably a tetnus shot. --- Those really hurt. Anyway, I'm glad to do my part to get this pandemic under control. As I look at my calorie tracker for the day: 1750 calories food and 59 oz. water.
