Well I have been failing miserably with the new Year’s goals…walking-3 times and I don’t mean 3 times a week…maybe I could push the total to 6 but that is still a long way from the goal. We even bought a pedometer to chart my steps…it is not getting worn out…it isn’t getting worn in it is not getting worn at all!blog posting-this is ithave thought about going to the pool.talked with my neighbour about going bowlingtotally forgot about my goal of making a stained glass lampbut in the cooking department I have made a new recipe or two…and I have finished 2 books with 2 on the goI guess that is the good thing about making goals, it is the writing them down so you can refer back and see how you are progressing, reafirm if they are realistic and maybe change them a bit…maybe since you made them you discovered a whole room of looms at the Community Arts Building and think that might be interesting…Checking the goals also gives you time to reflect on just what the heck has been going on to make you fail so miserably.Well with the walking there is always the same old excuses of winter…too cold, too icey, too windy. As always it seems that I battle the body or rather the body battles me…it aches, it pains, no energy…and I know that sometimes exercise is the best medicine for all of this…it goes back to the crappy weather. I think I would be more motivated if the weather was better and also I think the aches and pains are also tied into the weather…barametric pressure going crazy you can count on me having a headache…So then you feel like crap and of course have no motivation and of course are bored and possibly even depressed…one big one thing leads to another…
We went on a little trip south about a month ago to pick up the youngest son who was visiting from Australia. As we drove south the sky cleared from the ever so constant white overcloud that has been hovering all winter and holy cow…Blue Sky! What a pick me up! Blue sky lifts, it invigorates, it energizes.
As we were sight seeing at Shannon Falls I proclaimed that I thought I would be a healthier speciman if we lived somewhere where the winter wasn’t so extreme. How good is it to be walking around in above freezing weather with shoes not having to worry about falling and breaking a hip? But then again in mulling the whole ball of wax over I had to admit that we seem to have the best of weather on our trips…would I really think I would be so anxious to get out and walk when the clouds roll in and it rains for 3 weeks straight? No blue sky then I thinks.
yes it is good to mull over things for then you can possibly strategize just how to metigate all the problems…of course some things you can’t so you just have to accept and carry on the best you can…and one good way to endure is to make plans!new Goals:Paint the living roombuy my friend Phyliss’s plant that she developed and trademarked walkcheck out the looms
