Yesterday I didn't get a walk in... I just mellowed out and tried to keep my head above water. Today... I dunno. Taking the day off.

How are you moving?

was a bad girl ate cookie and candy bar had a slow night at work so rather then go home I walk for three hours . walk fast and slow on and off and did stretches . I got a good sweat going so I'm hopen that burned off some of my treats. and when I go home I think I'll follow in your step and have a mellow day or at least part of one Just remembered my neice is moven in some stuff today! oh well have a good day today take care of you.

I walked two miles and enjoyed the lushness of this cool spring morning.   I walked 3+ miles at lunch time today.

Elena,

Yesterday was a bad day for me......Sometimes it feels like I'm running on empty......

I ended up falling asleep in my lounge chair outside, got burned.....I didn't get any exercise in........

Today I plan to take a walk or bike ride......I just need to motivate myself.....I've been self destructing and need to pull my head out of my ass......I didn't go through all this to F*ck it up now.......

Maybe we can get together and workout......Or walk.....

Kelly:

When I get down on myself or the world seems to be pounding me slowly into the ground, I have resorted to using some mindfulness exercises to keep me in the moment.....to enjoy the rythym and movement of exercise, even walking....to savor each bite of food......to appreciate something about the people who care about me.....to feel the emotions in songs.  It is a simple thing and it is not.  By staying in the moment, you can let go of self recrimination, frustration with other people, the messes your kid(s) make, worries about car repairs, etc. and just enjoy a moment of your life.  By adding enough of  those moments together, the things that weigh on my mind fade enough to allow me to move forward again.  There is a book entitled "Full Catastrophe Living" that I have found to be helpful with mindfulness exercises.

Good luck,

RP

When mindfulness isn't quite enough, I have been known to sit in my office chair, raise my middle digits and spin around...sometimes more than once.

     (...Wondering if Rick's sit 'n spin qualifies as exercise???)


  Imperfect does not = unsuccessful
