Today is day 4 of making it to the gym daily!
I like keeping track of days. It tends to keep me on track! Otherwise, the sands in the hourglass keep trickling down...
I am sore. Quite sore. But it is a good pain. Not like a stiff joint, sore muscle, middle aged woman who eats too much, sleeps too little and worries a lot.
Muscle soreness from use! And this from a measly 15 minute workout a day!
I might add that I am continuing to start my day with a short, 5 minute Qi Gong Breathing and Weight Hooping workout.
Then I add a little ballet with my granddaughter mid morning.
I am heading into Portland now, where upon debussing, I shall head immediately up the block for a brief gym workout.
I am feeling really good about this!
I must be having a good day. My fingers are flying across this keyboard. People are staring. I am in the library. I think they are jealous of my typing speed. Or perhaps annoyed at the racket my clacking on the keys is making!
Anyway. I am having a good day.
To put the cherry on top of the cake, I have a new book to read:
A Year of Biblical Womanhood: How a Liberated Woman Found Herself Sitting on her Roof, Covering Her head, and Calling Her Husband "Master"by Rachel Held Evans.
Yes, by that Rachel Held Evans. The young woman who died recently in her prime. This will be the first book of hers I have read.
I am pausing right here to say a prayer for her soul. And her family. So tragic that she died so young.
Speaking of prayer, I attended a bible study last night. It was amazing. We are studying the Psalms. My favorite book in the Bible. I start my day every morning with.a psalm!
The study was led by the pastor of the bible church I played piano at last Sunday. He translates every word of the bible. He has studied Hebrew, Greek and Aramaic. He is fascinating. And he and his wife are really nice people to boot!
I am glad I went. I am usually teaching Thursday, but I took a few days off this week to rest and get some extra piano practice in. This is recital season! I am playing in a choir concert Saturday, leading choir sectionals Tuesday, playing in a church next Sunday, and hosting my own piano recital that evening.
I do these things better when I get enough sleep. And the extra exercise is doing wonders! So much so, that I am finally eating better again. I am for now avoiding red meat, fried food, processed food, sugar and wheat!
But if I do have any of the above, it is in a small amount. I am practicing portion control. Food is the thorn in my side. But it doesn't have to be!
I am sticking to my Movement Movement. Perhaps it will save me after all.
Not from death. That is inevitable. But save me from suffering so much in this life. In the next life, I look forward to no pain and suffering!
On that note, I wish you a happy Friday!
Talk to you soon.
Love,
Zita
