It Was A Good Day

Up this morning at 6:30 am. 1/2 hour of yoga followed by coffee and breakfast on the back porch. At 8:00 am, Ted and I set out for the gym. I walked 30 minutes on the treadmill and then took an hour water fitness class. Whew!!! That's a lot for one morning. My blood pressure this morning was 126/80--going in the right direction. I was happy.

I feel better and more alive. Of course I'll probably feel a bit sore tomorrow, but that comes with the territory.

An appointment with the chiropractor at 3:00 pm this afternoon, followed by making a Chinese chicken salad for dinner. Ted and I will either take a walk in the evening or a bike ride around the development.

There, that's how you do it!!!!

I liked being able to witness the sun rising. It is a beautiful time of the day. Even though I like this part of the day, I am definitely a night owl. I like staying up late puttering and getting up late in the morning. I remember saying that when I retired I was going to revert to who I really was (late to bed/late to rise), but somehow you lose the essence of the day when that happens so I'm struggling with this issue. When I get up late, I've missed a good opportunity to work out because it is so flaming hot here in the summer you can barely breathe, much less walk outside after 10:00 am.

Oh, meant to add that I will be enjoying a double scoop of Baskin Robbin's Cherries Jubilee (my alltime favorite flavor). After all, I promised myself that I would not get crazy about this healthy thing. One day at a time, that's my motto

Oh well, I guess life is full of compromises.....
