Tomorrow's schedule is already turning into a VERY busy day, so today I'm going to try to focus on work and tasks that need to be done at the shop or on the laptop, and worry about how to fit everything into tomorrow, on Wednesday. Today, I'm on time, I slept well, and have already gotten all of my morning meditations in, so it's going to be a good day. I'm determined - LOL.
 |
I shifted my schedule a few years ago to make sure I could include my morning meditation every day, as soon as I awakened. I've been pretty good about keeping to that schedule over the years, and find it very helpful for my day ahead. |
DH and I finished up our ribs yesterday for dinner. They were wonderful, but not something I can eat often. Over two days, I put on 2-1/2 pounds, and it's solely because of fat-rich pork. I'm fine with it, I know I'm still within my range and I'll have it back where I want by the end of the week, but it's annoying. It always seems to be easier to gain weight than to lose it - LOL. So unfair, right?
 |
There's nothing much tastier and easier to cook than ribs in the crockpot, and that's what DH wanted for Sunday/Monday. So, I set up my crockpot to do our two ribs, his with his BBQ sauce, mine with mine, and we had a lovely dinner. I was happy to finish my ribs last night, though. NOT a low-calorie meal - LOL. |
I'll be back in the pool today, and that will also help. I feel like a slug when I don't get regular exercise, and where I was walking the State Fair with Sharon, I was getting 10+ miles a day on average. Sitting at my desk or helping customers in the store doesn't nearly come close to that mileage, and sitting just puts my weight into my ass and hips. Not what I want. So, activity is screaming at me. "Go! Get going! Swim, run, do SOMETHING!" Does your mind scream "be active" to you too? Mine can be quite strident!
 |
I enjoy being active, and end up sedentary all too much on a daily basis. There's nothing active about working at a computer screen. *sigh* Of course, I could get a walking desk, but that would be one more piece of stuff to get rid of or have no room for. No. My level of increased activity has to come before I head to work and computer screens. |
Tomorrow's schedule, at least the morning schedule, is looking a bit like a bear too. With morning appointments, my pool time, and the necessity of going to my co-op to pick up collagen on their monthly sale day, I'm going to be packing a TON into the morning, and having a rather open afternoon to work on computer work or holiday cards. I'm not in high gear on holiday cards yet, but I'm working steadily on them. I know I'll have some crunch time because my "spare" time simply isn't there this year, but I'll do what I can. I may have to put off my insert until next year because of time, but that wouldn't be the end of the world. I can't let a single day go by without doing SOME work on them, though.
 |
My co-op offers an additional 10% off my preferred brand of collagen on the second Wednesday of each month. I usually will pick up a large container if I'm getting low. I use a generous scoop of this every day to help my bones and I like it. It dissolves well. I also add it to my weekly Ogre Juice batches. |
So, I'm wrapping this up because I'm looking at all I've listed and all I have on my mental "to do" list, and getting a bit stressed. Which is ridiculous. If there's anything I've learned in my life, it's flexibility. I've got to shift when needed, and when I can do that, all things are possible. I'll make it all work, one way or another. Have an excellent Tuesday and I'll be back tomorrow. Slava Ukraini.
