Through The Tulips Words of 'Wiz'dom

Whew!

As I mentioned before- I’m working on getting back in a routine of getting regular exercise, and while I don’t think I’ll ever ‘love’ it- I do love the feeling that I get after doing it- (notice I didn’t say during) and since starting back up- I’ve asked myself several times how I could have let myself get away from regular exercise, because I really DO feel better and I know my body thanks me. We only get one chance and one body- so I’m trying to be more conscious in taking care of it.

With all that being said- I didn’t realize how out of shape I’d gotten over the past year from not doing regular exercise. The past few days I’ve been regularly walking and I’m back on the elliptical and I’m feeling it. I usually alternate between the two- but yesterday and today I did both and tonight I’m absolutely beat! I had a lot of other things around the house to get done- and I was happy to sit down and just be done with having to move today.

I can tell that my body needs a day of rest- so tomorrow will be one of my ‘no exercise’ days for this week. I’ll admit I’m looking forward to giving my body a rest.. There’s definitely such a thing as too much of a good thing..

Surprises Brewing

In a few weeks, Marcel and I will celebrate our 8th wedding anniversary. It’s hard to believe that it has been that long in some ways- and in other ways it seems like we’ve been married even longer. I try not to make a big fuss about it- but we do usually do something special, and I’m usually the one who mentions it first. I guess that’s a woman thing. I was suprised yesterday when I walked by Marcel’s computer and he was doing a search for wife gift ideas, which made me smile. He shut the laptop lid so I couldn’t see, but he wasn’t quick enough. Obviously someone is thinking of our upcoming anniversary and I can’t wait to see what he comes up with.
