Well I am going into week number two.
You know I feel great right now. Don't know if this is because of the exercise and eating better or if it is because of the trips I am going to be taking soon. Which means away from work and stress and all the other bull cookies that are happening.
Well there will be stress with this trip coming up. I will be sitting for long periods of time while we drive across the tundra of the USA. I just hope that most of the snow is gone by then or it is going to be one hell of a drive. It is two months before we head out on this trip. Have a time share that a friend has loaned us and we have decided that since we have the time to do it. See Mickey mouse and Donald Duck. And maybe marineland and you know dolphins.
So now will be driving for hours on end, mind you seeing allot of scenery will be great but will my body take it to do this. I figured sitting in a plane for many hours might be out of the question for me but then again sitting in a car for many hours may not do much better. Well it is allot better then sitting on a back of a bike for many hours. I did do that last year. Headed to Mount Rushmore and back. My body told me about that trip for many days afterwards. Mind you it was a fun trip but if only my hips and legs would have enjoyed it as much as I did.
Well anyways there is a few trips coming my way this year. One in the spring were we are driving. Then I am going to Sacramento sometime in the summer with some very fun ladies. That is a short trip. Then sometime in the summer may take another short drive someplace to enjoy some time in BC. Then in the spring for my 55 birthday I am trying to get together a trip someplace warm. I am hoping Jamaica. To a sandals resort. well i hope anyways. Use up some of my airmiles I have and get some sun. The warm weather does feel so good.
I guess I have bragged enough about maybe vacations. This is part of my new resolve here. To get out and do things and enjoy myself while I can. Part of the Christmas resolution I had put together. So now part of it is starting to fall into place. To get rid of the chicken shit person I am and be more out there. Well we will see.
Along with me wanting to travel more I also resolved to exercise more and eat better. So far so good. Well I am still eating a little chocolate and drinking the diet pop. Mind you only a nibble once in while or a sip just to have a taste. It is working as long as I don't try taking too much again. I have been eating allot of salads. Yes I like salads as long as it has the stuff I like In it and not those store made ones were you have to pick out half the stuff because I just don't like it. Then there is not much in the way of salad left. Having a little serving of meat with that as well to keep some protein in me.
Wel the exercise is going good as well. I have some accomplishments to say here. I have gotten up to 20 minutes on the rowing machine and 20 minutes on the tread mill. Want to eventually work up to half an hour. That will be down the road a little though. For now what I am doing is great for me. Oh another accomplishment is I made a walk up stave lake road today. It is a steap road not far from our place that is dang hard to walk up. Well guess what I made it up there this morning. Dang proud of myself. It has been eons since I have been able to make it up that road.
Another accomplishment I did is I went to the pool a few days ago. I use to go to the pool all the time and do around 150 laps. That has not been done in years. Well I would go down and piddle in the pool. No not like that. I would move around moving my arms and working my legs but not do any laps. Well I tried the other day. i can do 10 laps. That is something for me. I probably could have done a little more but did not want to overdo it and then be layed up were I wouldn't be able to do anything. But ten laps I felt great. I can still do laps. So will try again tomorrow.
For now I feel great. I feels so good I think I have found the fountain of youth. You know that book. The one that say younger next year. Well I am living it right now
I don't know how long it is going to last, but for now I will take it. I have taken the bull by the horns and I am riding away to a better life. Well at least I hope so.
Wish me luck, cheer me on and hope for the best. I right now don't want to stop. So hopefully nothing gets in the way to stop me from fulfilling this resolve.
Thanks for the cheering section I have going now. You are all across the country but I feel you rooting for me. Thank you everyone.
