Move What Matters

That's the current Bowflex tag line:  Move what matters to you.  

I sat down at 4pm after spending the day cleaning house and thought "its too early to call it a day.  

So I hopped on my Bowflex treadmill, thinking I would just do a moderately slow walk.  But Gretchen Wilson's song came on "All Jacked Up".   So I upped the speed and set the incline in 9.  Every minute that passed, I lowered the incline but increased the speed by 1 tenth.  My heart was pounding and I just kept going.  

Near the 20 minute mark I decided to slow it down.  Then Government Mule started playing "Beautifully Broken".  While this wasn't one of their biggest hits, its one of my favs.  "Mysterious, Blown in with the night.  All this beauty captured in a frame"

While I have many fav songs with simple lyrics, this one gets to me in a way I can't put in words - and I don't usually lack for words!!  

Perfect slowdown for the end of my walk. 

Move what matters.  A new mantra.

Housecleaning Day

My "to do" list grows when I'm out and about with mom.  After two weeks of watching Mr Z, and running mom around to do errands (groceries, blood work, dr appt, xray, pharmacy, library) it was high time I spent time in my own home. 

Even though there weren't people or pets running around, with the AC running, it gets dusty quick!  

I'm pleasantly tired after knocking out the major chores like vacuuming and cleaning the floors, the bathrooms, change the bedsheets, do some laundry.  After a grocery run and this week's cooking, I'll scrub up the kitchen and get it ready for the week. 

There's something satisfying about getting things caught up again.  Accomplishments and crisp fresh bedsheets and I should sleep like a baby tonight!!
