Late Night Ramblings

Oh, my beloved blog--how I neglect thee.  I don't have time to read blogs anymore, either. :(

My summer stunk.  I was in a funk. I did read some good books on mindfulness and have started practicing meditation which is awesome.

But that was then.  The only time that matters is now.

I have exercised for several days in a row--almost two weeks now.

I have started doing Classical Stretch, and my feet are much better.  I'm able to have high step counts again.  It is imperative that I stretch, though.

You can check out Classical Stretch's streaming service here.   It is $14.95 a month. You can buy the DVDs, but they're expensive.

My neck is better, my back is better and my feet are much better.  I'm very impressed with what Classical Stretch has done for me.

I've been eating better.

I've lost 4.5 pounds in the last two weeks.

Moving forward.

I got myself in the groove by going easy.  Richard Simmons--great music, easy workouts, and FUN. Then I did Leslie, but her workouts aggravate my feet. That constant pounding.  Instead, I go to her You Tube channel and do five-minute walks.  I can get about 500 steps doing that--which is a nice break and much less pounding.

I've started swinging my kettlebell again.

Gentle, easy, but effective.

I'm about to get VERY busy, but I have a plan of action.

I'm a full-time, commuting student and time is of the essence to me.  I have to study longer and harder than I did years ago. I take school very seriously, and it has been my priority.

Well, now I need two priorities:  HEALTH and school.  Cannot miss a workout. My body needs it. I feel better. It helps with depression, stress and monotony.

So I'm on a roll.  I shall continue.  This is going to be a brutal semester for me, and I need to take care of my mind, body and soul.
