This is my third post in the #MAKINGITWORK blog challenge set out by newly acquired friend, thanks to the April A to Z blog challenge, I.L. Wolf. My goals for #MAYkingItWork are to get back to reading (and less writing) and to restart my yoga. I will post on Fridays as to how I am doing.
YOGA:
We had such a busy weekend. My husband was prepping to be gone for a month, starting with joining in the Run for the Wall when it stopped for an overnight in neighboring Cookeville, then staying in Maryland for probably three weeks to visit family & friends as well as take care of a couple medical/dental appointments. While the #2Doods were at doggy camp, I was busy doing everything I could to help him get ready.
Tuesday was an errand day for me, then I picked up the #2Doods. I had to get up early for an appointment to get my wedding ring tattoo refreshed and I was busy all day until we got home at 5:30. Yeah, no yoga.
Wednesday found me and the #2Doods sleeping till almost ten in the morning! But I did organize my printed exercises for both my shoulder and my pitiformis issues. Hey, that's a start. Oh, and I did get some exercise bands at TJ Maxx on Tuesday. ;)
Thursday I managed some morning stretches. Hey, it's a start - being very careful to not stress my lower back again.
Now it's Friday and the start of a new week. May is almost over...will we have a JUkNowYouCanDoIt?
READING: I read one book...a comedy, part of a long series from an author I met at the Writer's Police Academy back on 2014. Nice break! I need to read more first person, quirky, humorous stories to prep for starting to write my Lia Rules series.
I think JUkNowYouCanDoIt is HILARIOUS!! I think we can figure out a way to make that work with AccountaClub.
ReplyDeleteI had to look up Race for the Wall...what a great idea. They're right, ALL veterans deserve recognition. And all the benefits they were promised when they enlisted, but that's a different issue.
You've made great progress, I think, just by keeping the yoga goal on your radar. And exercise bands, very nice. TJ Maxx/Marshalls have AWESOME exercise equipment. My current yoga mat, which I love, is from Marshalls.
I think you're doing great considering everything (and with a dental visit looming...not my favorite!)
I found a great site that I'm going to use as well - being on a fixed income is always a challenge. This set lets you choose a price for the first set of lessons. I've only read the first one (been writing all day) but so far, I like it. http://dailyom.com/
DeleteI would love to recommend Race for the Wall to my veteran brothers, but of course it's too late for this year.
ReplyDeleteI read nothing. I mean, my daily devotionals, and a brief check-in with blogs, but I think you're doing great for knocking out a book this week!
Be sure to tell them about it for next year. It's quite a moving experience. http://rftw.org
DeleteFortunately, I'm a fast reader! That's good and bad...LOL!
