_______________Welcome!____________________

I'm so excited about this blog. I've had a few blogs that just seem to wander off topic and interchange with one another in confusing ways. Somehow, it doesn't seem possible to wander off this topic here; seeing as it's about living, creativity, and health.


Exercise
Spring is the perfect time to start new projects and work on ourselves as we help others. For me, after a year of drinking coffee and sitting at the desk, any exercise now is better than what I had been doing. We broke out the old Taebo Tapes for fun (and a good start). It works--I can feel it . My child is getting the newest one to go along with our bike rides and walks.
The best way to begin, especially after a long bout of --well.......sitting, is to start off slow. Anything more than the day before is a grand improvement. You certainly don't want to be so sore the next few days that you abandon your new program.
What works for me is Sunlight and yard work to get me motivated. It's something about the idea that you are accomplishing something besides just fitness (which is a lot). You can work at you're own pace while getting some fresh air and breaking a sweat. I always try to exaggerate my movements also; reach just a little further and higher, pull and throw a little harder-etc.
The key thing is to just keep moving. Add more as you go. And remember to forgive yourself if you skip a workout. We sometimes feel like we have failed, thus giving up, deeming it "too late now anyways". Allow yourself to be human. Just consider that little set back "Part" of your plan instead of a "Mess up" and you'll be less apt to fall out of your new routine.

Spring is on it's way!

I feel as though I can come out of hiding after yesterday's great weather. I even did a little yard work to prepare for Spring. As you can see, I have some indoor projects to complete or delete lol.
Above is my mirror mirrored shot. It kind of messes with ya when you know how it actually looks everyday.
I don't know how I managed to mess up the date on my digital --but I just now fixed it after 2 months of being oblivious to the fact.
I think the drag and drop feature of the flock browser is the best part of it---when you post from it , as with many other programs --it just doesn't work as well.
I'm actually sitting here with the window open at 3 in the morning, the air is so nice. However the guy coughing 10 ft away seems to be coughing louder for some reason.
I hope he doesn't spot me and assume I'm a social type. Poor guy.
