The End of Days?

What day are we on, Krista? Krista started a 21-day fix….the other day? Last week?

She is hard at work fixing a bunch of things, with great success…Many of these things aren’t open for discussion on the manblog. I am trying to get to the bottom of the exercise portion, and I will keep pushing there.

The basis of changing yourself…having your best life…is through investing in yourself.

Your Health matters more than anything else!

Let’s review yours truly.
In the past week, I have purchased 4 scales….5? I have returned all of them but the one I am awaiting…will it drop today?
I ordered this last one from Best Buy….and a new washer and dryer from them this week….is there anything here I haven’t replaced the past 9 months?

Maybe tomorrow I will get another weigh-in; I can say I have not seen the 2 teens for a while, always about 221-222.
The thing is.,,,I’m thinner than ever. Sure, I have a bit of chub around the waist…but not much! I know I’ve put on some muscle…I think I look great, maybe better than ever….

Which brings me to this….I ran a 5k this week….non-stop.

I have not run a 5k in a long time….I can’t remember when the last time I ran 5 total km of distance….years….
Non-Stop? I’m going to say….frig…..shortly after I met Ev. I think that was the last time I ran 5k non-stop. How long ago was that….

Like….TWENTY years ago!

In fact…I don’t think I’ve run 2k without a break in lord knows how long…10 years…more?

For whatever reason…5 k was easy…I could have gone further….

I’m not going to tell you I didn’t feel it the next day, but….I could have gone further……..

I am 35 years old again! That’s it…35. I am in better shape than I was at 35 in many ways.
I don’t know…am I simply the most stress-free I have been in forever?

I’m lifting almost as heavy as I ever have? Some parts…my shoulders…are stronger than they have ever been…

I feel great. I am happy. My life is in such good order.

Oh…frig…one downside. I think I have a lactose intolerance after years of being an ice cream lover. I have restricted my intake for a while, and things seem good….I will miss ice cream.

Maybe those missing calories get me to 205 pounds….still my goal!

And Now…The Weather…

Slab has been working hard all summer…she is just about to head out to a cottage for a 2-week vacation and has sent this before pic as proof of what she was on this date.

Slab weighed in at 124.6 yesterday and thinks she is closer to 126 today after losing a late-night snack battle.

TBag is started her own X day challenge….one moment please….ya she just said today…yesterday…was day 1. Day one of how many or what I’m not sure…but I will find out. She is waiting until Sunday to weigh in.

Pumper 185.6…I think that is her low thus far….Will she get to 170 something?

Suds…very very quiet….hunting wabbits?

YogaJ is holding at 153…so close to her goal weight.

J is up on Manitoulan, so I am sure he is trying to make the most of what summer is left up there…this can go badly quickly up that way. Snow soon.

Who else……who else…..another time……

The Quote of The Day

Don’t postpone your peace just because chaos is familiar
~Kimani Fambro

I am sailing again…I love it. Shopping for a boat…Charlotte will be done U22 hockey in 2 years, and I want to be ready to enjoy some time in the wind.

My life has changed so much this year, and I have never felt better in my skin. My house feels like a home for the first time in a dozen years….it never felt quite the same when Ev left….but now it feels wonderful. I enjoy my space here so much.

My space…the space I take up in my life…is simply peaceful. I notice the things that are out of place and I try to sort them out….if I can’t those things will go. I am working my way through the remaining chaos in my space….sorting and abandoning….

Much of the tidying is internal…realizing things I love, things I want to improve, and things I want to relinquish about myself…the person I am…

I strive to be the best version of myself every day.

My home, my family, and my friendships are evolving. I appreciate the great people and places in my life and choose to invest in those.

I have never…ever…been as positive about myself as I am right now….the negative voices are finding themselves silenced…I am healthy, smart, and beautiful!

Summer is coming to an end; get out there and enjoy what is left of it!
