Was going to exercise yesterday, but Vince got up early so I decided I’d like to leave as soon as possible so I gave up exercising. We got here about 5:30. Not sure why we got here so early. When we made one stop I experienced explosive diarrhea (sorry if TMI). My stomach just felt “yuk” so Vince stopped for lunch but I went on. Felt better so had a sub when we got here. I’ve been wanting to try this place. Haven’t been there in years.

Uneventful driving, which is good. Weather was great.

Did a Kelly Coffee Meyer DVD today. The plan is to do a Jari Love DVD tomorrow. Spent most of the day today going food shopping, went to WalMart and Aldi. Also went to the women’s lunch, just had a grilled chicken quesadilla.

Ahhhh...it feels so good to be wearing shorts. Now I only hope I can continue wearing them when I get back to NC

Betsy – have a wonderful, fantastic cruise

Marie – welcome! Didn’t Rori have a broken toe? If I’m right...what is it with Colorado????? lol I’m trying but it’s not working too well improving the balance. Not so on the strength, tho. The biphosonates just never really worked for me and right now I’m taking Prolia which seems to be working. I’m guessing it’s because the biphosonates have to go thru the digestive tract before getting into the bloodstream where as the Prolia goes in immediately. Whatever the reason I’m just glad it’s working. As a matter of fact, at one point it was working so well that I had osteopenia and insurance wouldn’t pay for the Prolia. I had to go on a biphosonate, but same thing….didn’t work. So I’m back on the Prolia

Carol – when I have a colonoscopy, I usually get the results immediately.

Pip – you...take it easy at the gym???…. Does that exist?

Exercising the Alphabet in February

In other words, on February 1, you'd walk to a street that starts with A or do an exercise video hosted by someone whose name starts with A or something ... A.

On February 2, you'd go swimming at a Beach or play a game of Baseball or something ... B.

On February 3, you'd go Cycling or Climb some stairs or something ... C.

and so on.

There are, of course, 26 letters in the alphabet and 28 days in February, so you'd have 2 free days if you didn't exercise those days or couldn't fit in the next letter of the alphabet.

I have listed several January highlights so that meets the calendar suggestion for February 1...

And I walked to the Asian "dollar store" next to the Asian grocers and bought Art supplies at lunch today. That'll be my A.

Put myself in someone else's shoes --- I've been treating my difficult work colleague with kindness by talking to her about her son, complimenting her skirt, talking quietly and gently to her and so on.

And today, I walked to Bathurst Street to Buy some Books. I also climbed stairs in my Building.

Watch a movie that reminds me of kindness --- probably not tonight!

C is for Climbing and walking on Collins St!

Take a picture of three things that make you happy --





D is for exercising Downstairs!
Rowing - 16 minutes
Walking - 38 minutes
Weights - 10 minutes

Be kind to yourself -- Sleep, gardening and cycling!

E is for Exercising!
Plus we cycled on Endeavour Ave and the Esplanade.

Start a conversation with someone new --- I'm not the sort to strike up random conversations, or conversations at all. But I did chat with a person I met recently and one I haven't seen in a few months today.

And ... F!


Consider a current struggle. Write down two thoughts that bring you comfort.

Hmmm ... A current struggle, like only one? Let's go with waiting. I feel like I spend most of my life waiting.





And a walk to the botanical Gardens through the rose Garden!


Consider and celebrate diversity! Does that include people who look at things completely differently than you do? If so ... woohoo! I've had that opportunity today!

H is for Hobart - walking around. And Hanging clothes outside.

Identify a role model who embodies perseverance and find 2 ways to emulate them.

Well, I don't have role models ... and I've persevered as much or possibly even more than many people I know.

However, today was brought to you by the letter I. I did walk by and around IMAS (Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies).

Check an item off your to do list this weekend!

YES! I tidied a shelf in the kitchen. I've been meaning to do that for months but finally did it today. There was a large quantity of rubbish on that shelf ... more than I thought. So, much of the cleaning process was just throwing things out.

I've also been dusting our entertainment unit and all the stuff on it.

And I went outside and tidied the area right in front of our front door which involved moving a whole bunch of pots and other garden things to a different location and then sweeping out a year's worth of leaves and stuff. I climbed up and down and up and down stairs doing that.

This evening I made an attempt at digging the area I want to plant things next to my dry stream. I got a new spade which is great, but even so, there are so many roots, I'll need to use something else to break it up.

Just getting rid of Junk and Jabbing the Soil

Make twice as much for dinner and either invite guests or deliver a meal to a friend ...

We're actually doing that sort of dinner thing on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, all my exercise was in K ... Kingborough today!

Cycling:


Heaving a heavy mattock in the garden:


And walking our Kitty, Rhody.

Make a list for the week ahead so you stay focused.

I have one massive ongoing things to do list with the most urgent things at the top.

L
Walking exercised my Legs.
Gardening exercised all my Limbs!

Consider a recent disagreement. Did you extend forgiveness?
Yes.
I don't like being at odds with people.

M
Meandering around Bunnings.
Moving the Mattock.

Express creativity! I finished another version of my Project Plan!! That's as creative as I had a chance to be today.

N = Nowhere
I walked the stairs to nowhere and the road to nowhere.
