I've been working hard at making sure that life isn't all about work. I make it a point to take a photo every day. Even if I don't feel compelled to share it on social media, I make sure I've kept it in my "365photos" folder. A photo that kind of sums up the day, what I saw, where I was, something that made me smile. Yes, there are days when that one photo isn't taken. But the next day, I focus on finding two things that make me smile.
Today, it's hot and humid, so no evening walk for me and Sadie. During my lunch break, I slipped into the gym and got my workout done. I started going back this week, missed Weds however, due to work issues and scheduling. Tuesday was arms day, and I felt like I had noodles instead of arms when I was done! Today, I had two goals: a 15 minute mile on the elliptical machine (easier on the knees than the treadmill) and resistance training to work out the soreness in my arms. I achieved my mile goal in 15:05. Not bad for an old lady! Then I did my arm exercises with weight machines again. And yes, I'm sore. lol Aspirin at bedtime tonight!I got a new FitBit tracker, the Charger HR, because it not only tracks my steps, but calories, heart rate and most important, my sleep pattern. Just because I wonder if I'm getting enough sleep. Here's the result for the first night. It tracks me falling asleep at 8:32, and waking at 4:35am. Yep, that's about right. I climb into bed between 7 and 730, depending on what I feel like watching, and it doesn't take long for me to be out like a light. But it shows that I was awake 5 times. I remember getting up twice to let Sadie out -- and to pee, cuz yep, I'm an old lady. Or I drink too much water too late in the evening. But then it shows I was restless 18 times. Hmm. That's not so good, but I'm going to let it keep going, get an average over a week or two, and see if it evens out a little bit. But according to my little wristband, I got 7 hours, 7 minutes of sleep.
Get out there and do something today!
I did!
