This week has been pretty rough for me...for the bod that is. Not sure it was ready for the heavy stuff because it's been rebelling a bit. But, that’s ok! I’d already planned to do heavy weeks in cycles so that I’d only be lifting heavy one week a month. So the next three weeks will be lighter again. A girls gotta listen to her body, hey! As you’ve probably read in recent blogs, (KEK & KERRY just off the top of my head), listening to the body has been the prevailing topic as of late; as it should be! We’ve only got one body, so be smart! I do love to “power through the pain”, but can’t be totally stupid about it! Personally, I still want to be powering around upright on both legs when I’m 80, not hunched over in a wheel chair!
I’m still completely focused on the possibility of competing next year-and keeping fit and trim in general, so just because I’m taking it easy on the weights does not mean everything else goes out the door, especially since, as I said, I still want to be very healthy at 80! I’m still doing regular cardio sessions and of course eating healthy, clean and balanced. That’s just the way John & I live. Even through my alcohol days-I kept to pretty clean nutritious food-and now that I'm not drinking anymore-my nutrition is, of course, that much better!
I’m also listening to my brain which is telling me I’m on TECHNO OVERLOAD. I was looking over my plans for 2009 and I had listed that I was going to take a day off from the computer each week. I did do that for a little while, but fell off that wagon. Well, I’m climbing back on starting tomorrow. I will not be going near the computer on Sundays from now on.

Stay strong and STAY HEALTHY!

Yeah, my body isn't all that happy with me at the moment... :( I'm trying to rectify that, doing OK too.
Sometimes we just have to do what we CAN and accept that we can't do what we WANT for a while.
Hey Raechelle. Soooo. Sunday OFF, right? Hmmmm! No email-cheating now, OK? --grin!
I'll soon be 77, and I amd what I call healthy, won't tell you all the things I "don't" do, and very few things I "do" do. But busy ALL the time...LOTS of it on the computer, of course.
I admire you for your dedication to health, and sharing that with others is how the concept of being healthy grows from Peep to Peep.
Come to think of it, I don't drink (thought they'd have to close the distilleries when I stopped!) and don't smoke (same with R J Reynolds!) so those are two pluses!
Have a great winter, and I'm sure you will keep us informed on the competitions. Please!
PEACE!
Hope you can rectify it soon Kek!
Thanks Steve...It's going into summer here though...hehehe but you have a nice winter yourself!
I personally think you're doing great and are an inspiration to me on my journey Raechelle. Step by step day by day, you're moving in the right direction and eventually will be in a truly better place both physically and spiritually.
Much love to you. xxx
Thanks Lia..much love right back to you ;-)
