What I'm Reading This Week #16
Good Friday to you! Literally. I can't believe Easter is here. Anyone else having epic wind and rain storms over the past month? I mean good friggin' luck trying to enjoy any time out there and we're not afraid of weather. As I type, there are 40mph gusts. I went out to paint the critter cages on the planters and feel like I have hypothermia at 47 degrees when yesterday's weather forecast said it would be 74 today. Da fuq? Guess who finally took the bedroom Christmas tree down Wednesday? It was neutrally decorated so it was fine but it came on every night and gave a cozy glow. I knew one day I would look at it and know it needed to go to sleep until November 1st. That's the other thing, I will be decorating for everything extra early from now on. August 1st- Fall decor as I will thoroughly be over summer by then and given that's the day Mom passed, I'll need something to lift my spirits. November 1st it'll be ...
I love the "top o' the hour" idea! I may have to join you on that. Maybe set up in my calendar to remind me every hour. I am with ya all the way sending you support vibes for zip-lining!!!! I know you can do this, it's attainable. Keep on truckin home skillet!
ReplyDeleteZip-lining in Maui would be so amazing!! I did it last summer in the redwoods in northern CA. It was such an amazing experience made even more amazing by the fact that I had actually gotten myself well enough under the 250 weight limit. I was concerned they were going to make me step on a scale though!
ReplyDeleteTop o the hour bursts sound like a great idea. I'd give it a go if my coworkers on the other side of my half cube wall wouldn't think I was a weirdo.
I think the hourly bursts are a great idea! It seems the harder I work out the day before, the lazier I get the next morning because I'm sore or just thinking I don't need to work that hard. Have fun and good luck with your goal!
ReplyDeleteI was late to the party and couldn't read yesterday's blog till today, but I think you know exactly what you are doing, what you want to do, and will give 110% effort to get there. Whether or not everything else works out is just not in the control box. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteGREAT decision! I love how you said, we can't make our bodies do anymore than we already ask of it. We do ask a lot of our bodies, we get mad at it more than we are happy with it that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see those pictures!!!
I think the hourly bursts sound great! I'll work on some too, maybe not the same ones as you or change them up every hour or so. I've been using a timer to force me to take a break from my computer every hour or so, so this can easily be worked in and every little bit helps!
ReplyDeleteI saw your question yesterday and it sounds like you're going to do what's best for you. (I always knew you would!) :) IMHO you consistently make really good decisions for you and the Mr, jointly I'm sure. Good Luck!
I like the top of the hour idea, I'm pretty sure my students would lobby to have me institutionalized if they caught me though. I may try it over summer break though.
ReplyDeleteI think you made the right call on "naming the baby". Not that you need to be told that. You'll zipline yet, and I'm looking forward to the pictures.
I love this idea, too. Now that I'm working again, I'm chained to my computer chair a lot more (180 legal size pages to be transcribed for a trial within the next 10 days). I'll be Top-of-the-houring it with you!
ReplyDeleteI have no doubts at all that you will be zipping through the forest!
ReplyDeleteI want ti to be as much of a thrill as you hope!
I like your moving every hour bit. I try to do more of that at work too.
You feel that surge of goodness??? Yeah...that's right - the first batch of good vibes got ya! :-)
