welling up inside.....postponed

I had a post welling up inside me today. I thought about it all morning. I was gonna let it out and then....... I got side tracked.I saw some pictures of myself  and was discouraged by the return of my belly. I worked so hard to get rid of that stupid thing and then there it was ....again! Frustrated, I posted on my status that I was really missing my bike. You know when you find something that works for you, you gotta just go with it! So my husband calls and says "why don't you go get some studded tires for your bike?" Well duh! Why don't I? So I did.

It doesn't look like much here, but trust me; those little studs grip the road like nothing else. I love it. It was quite chilly going down town; but coming back was nice. A short ride. Made my day.

So needless to say....the post I had planned to write, never got written. It's still in my brain and I plan on getting it out eventually. Tonight, however, I am so tired and tomorrow...........I leave for Vancouver for the weekend~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOT! I'm super excited about that. I'm going to kiss the ocean. Feel the salt on my lips! So upon my return, I will do the post I had planned for today.

Something tells me, I will have a lot more to write about when I get back too!  Have a great weekend everyone!

just keep moving

I attended a class recently. An exercise class. I attend 2 that are zumba/step and then the other is just step class with a few intervals tossed in, to work a little harder. A new class has been introduced and it's a little more "hard core". I've never  been to it before and I went recently. It was REALLY HARD!!!!!!! I enjoy doing things in a class setting because it motivates me. I don't want to be the one who quits. It forces me to push myself a little harder. I think I pushed too much. There's something to be said for knowing your limitations.

Anyway..... for the past few days I have been sore. REALLY sore. As I attempt the stairs, up or down, I feel all my muscles screaming at me. It's not painful, per se, but more of an ache. A reminder. The longer I sit, the more I seized up. I kept telling myself all day "just keep moving". I felt much like Dori in 'Finding Nemo' ~ "just keep swimming, just keep swimming!"(said in a sing song voice)

All this encouraging throughout the day, caused my thinking to stray. I had a very 'relaxed' day. Ok that's a lie. I had a very lazy day. I lacked the motivation to do anything. I need things to happen. I want things to happen. Now. I'm impatient. When confronted with the nothingness, I sometimes paralyze myself. As if  the only thing I can do is sit and wait. Aching today reminded me to just keep moving............ in my LIFE. 

I'm pissy that I can't ride my bike. It's been my "go to" thing that has kept me busy. When I was bored, I simply, went. I fell in love with it this summer and haven't replaced it with anything. That's no excuse for my sedentary attitude. Neither is this crappy cold weather. I did a lot this summer and I made things happen. I feel that I've lost some of that. I need to get it back. I need to, DO! I need to just keep moving, in all aspects of my life. It will all fall together eventually. I can just sit and wait. Life goes on, no matter what. JUST KEEP MOVING!!! Lesson learned, and tomorrow will be different. No, really!
