REMODELING CONTINUES AND OFF TO WALKING I SHALL GO

TWO DAYS IN A ROW OF AN OLD MORBIDLY OBESE LADY WALKING A MILE. That would be me.  I have hopes and dreams of thinning down.  Saturday it was a very pleasant 68 degrees outside with gray skies.  It was spitting moisture when I started walking, but failed to manifest a rain storm, so I willingly walked my mile with a little trotting in there.  The entire time I huffed and puffed, but beat my time the day before walking 23 minutes and 10 seconds.  I was surprised that I went a little faster.  Very surprised.  🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃🏃

I started faithfully walking last May.  It was cut short due to getting the flu.  Started walking again on a steady schedule.  Then in July after I walked 5 and a half miles, I came down with co v id.  Haven't given up as I started walking again.  Praise the LORD.  I have such plans for staying faithful with walking.  In it for the long haul. Dedicating it to the LORD.  My plans should be honored.

Truthfully, I wasn't sore the next morning which was another surprise.  A nice surprised.  I only had 3 hours of sleep.  I prayed most of the night and fell asleep around 7.  Not sure why I was wide awake.  Three weeks of coughing has worn on me.  Now when I cough I'm pretty sure it's asthma.  The really hard coughing irritated my lungs.  

I sipped on pineapple juice as I rested while the lettuce for a salad was soaking in cold salt water to kill the amoebas and little critters that attach themselves to the lettuces.  This makes the lettuce a healthier produce to eat.  After it soaked about ten minutes, I thoroughly rinsed it in cold water then placed it in a spinner.  Next the lettuce was hand torn before adding the other things in the salad like black olives, blueberries, cherry tomatoes, chick peas, black beans, peppers, cucumber and celery.  I poured a small amount of lemon juice it as well.

Went over to daughter's for an evening meal to celebrate son.in.law and grandson's July birthdays.  Sometimes it takes a while to get everybody together. 

Had a slow evening of fun family time.  

I will return to cleaning the cassette tape cases in a cardboard box that I brought HOME from the storage unit.  I know a mouse had been in the box as it left some evidence behind that it was in the box. Disgusting little thang.  Mickey Mouse, not.🐭🐭🐭🐭🐭🐭🐭

Hubby is nearly done with installing the faux tin ceiling with tulip pattern on it.  I like it lots.  So proud of him for working on this.

ANOTHER DAY and WEEK HAS STARTED.  Off to the tracks to walk.  Looking forward to this.  Amen.  As the week approaches, Hubby has a medical appointment about his foot.  Laundry still needing done.  Tidying to follow.  Think I will shuffle some furniture so I can relocate my recliner.  I want to go to the storage unit to bring HOME that old oak table for the Utility room.  If possible bring HOME the dinette set for the Kitchen to be used for temporary office.  OVER THE REST OF THE MONTH, I will purpose in my heart to start cleaning out one of our storage units.

AS AN ADULT, I should be able to free myself up to do more of what I'd like to do instead of keeping myself in bondage to not allowing myself to do fun things.  

Thanks for stopping by,
