I was working away on the computer in the den, all by myself, and was startled to hear a loud bang from upstairs…

ran up, asking Google to turn on the bedroom light, and discovered that the glass shelf beside the closet had fallen to the ground… it and the weights that were sitting on it were fine😳…

put everything back and wondered if it was a reminder that I need to start using the weights, rather than just admiring their beauty, lol…

my heartbeat has returned to normal now…

now that I’m working again on Fridays I am back to Friday yoga…

it is harder than what we were doing before I left… at that time we cycled through 3 types – restorative, slow flow and yin… they were simpler and more basic, which is really more my speed…

the Friday class is now a follow up from the Tuesday one which I don’t attend… feels like I am always in catch-up mode… also haven’t done yoga since last March…

still trying to decide if I will continue on or whether I might look for something else to do…

currently I am walking on the treadmill for 10 to 15 minutes every weekday and trying to get to aquasize on Tuesday evenings… 

maybe I will start to lift weights one night during the week or spend time during a lunch hour on the treadmill at the office…

snow coming down and melting as it hits the pavement…

routine…

part of my morning routine includes fifteen to twenty minutes on the treadmill every work day…

  
the weekends are a bit more laid back, lol…

watch a morning show while I walk and sometimes check out my social media programs…

very occasionally I will walk in the evening but I find my energy level is highest in the morning so that is the best time for me…

I also try to walk a few items a week on the treadmill at the office…

am supposed to use weights on a regular basis but I’ve kind of fallen off the wagon… 

my goal is to do some weight training three times a week, even if just for a few minutes…

I firmly believe that the exercise really helps keep me well…

couple of lovely surprises today…

my friend drove me to my doctor’s appointment this afternoon as she has been using my car…

afterwards we went to her house and she showed me a few exercises with weights and then she gave me two three-pound ones…

and they are purple… slightly different from the four pound pair I have…

was cooking my dinner when the doorbell rang and a friend of my Ottawa kids handed me a beautiful swag which my daughter had ordered from them…

it smells gorgeous… now I have to figure out where to put it…

how special is that…
