Stretch
Today felt good. I was able to complete 30 minutes on the same Elliptical machine that had me crying for mercy a few weeks ago. Woohoo!!! I'm thrilled to be making progress. I still have to focus on my motion when I'm on the Elliptical but I didn't have any pain. I'm really starting to think we might be figuring all this out in my physical therapy sessions. Such a relief!
Supporting my good feeling this morning, I actually got everything on my nightly must do list done last night. A few months ago I spent 4 weeks following FlyLady's recommendations pretty closely. I can't say that I completed a step everyday. And I definitely didn't make it to the end of the list. But after a month, I started to understand that I really did need to prep for the next day each evening. Without that prep, my days fall apart so quickly. Maybe that is part of running a house, or being a full-time working mom, or just being a human being. I have no idea. But the past couple of nights I've really pushed to get all the tasks done on my list including being in bed at 9:30pm. Last night I succeeded and it makes such a difference in starting the next day.
I'm reaching the gushing point so I'm going to stop. I'm happy right now. I might make a new happy tag to link all my posts where I just love life. I definitely need to remember this feeling on the days when I feel crushed. It's pretty awesome!
I've tried FlyLady before, and end up tripping over some of her recommendations. I'm glad they're working for you! I'm going to give her another look--like most foods for small people, it's always worth trying again.
ReplyDeleteThere was definitely stuff in there that didn't work for me. But I'm kind of a routine sort of girl. I like to tweak my routines (or create them in this case) until I feel like I've got a good groove. I love seeing the progress.
