Know that I have missed hearing from you and hope to return to my beloved writing soon.
Good news is that I've been working out steadily and have lost 6lbs. I'm so thankful that I don't view exercising the way I did when I was in my 20's.
I use it as a means to stay healthy and fit as opposed to being self-absorbed and obsessed with looking good.
Not that everyone in their 20's is self-absorbed and obsessed with looking good, but I was.
I guess narcissism works it ugly way into all of our lives at one time or another.
Feeling more energized, I'm sleeping better, and getting up earlier without much effort. I'm also calmer; more relaxed. What's been most fascinating is the feeling I enjoy when I'm riding the bike and listening to my music - I can feel stress leave my body within minutes.
Kickboxing classes are crazy. "I'm kicking my troubles away, so get out of my space," my instructor yells out at the top of her lungs. So, I try a more relaxing approach and attend a Pilates class. I almost die.
Call me insane, but I'll try Pilates one more time.
Have a blessed week taking care of you and your family.
Miss you dear friend! When I did Pilates I really liked it. Thank you for the reminder.
ReplyDeleteMiss you, too, Kim. You're welcome.
Deletewell, I wondered where my friend went! Good for you in your getting in shape! That kick boxing isn't for sissy's, that is some hard work. Pilates makes those muscles look long and sleek. I know you aren't about being 'vain' but it does feel good to see a little muscle tone. It makes you feel, as you said, more energized for sure. Those endorphines are nice. Anyway, glad to see you are having fun. Have a great day ok?
ReplyDeleteHello, beautiful. How are you? Yes, kickboxing isn't for sissy's. Learned that the hard way!!
DeleteHope you get your computer prob sorted soon... in the meantime, enjoy some time out.
