I took the from the boby balancing and building forum I wanted it here as well.
Well I did my first official run this morning.
A little over twenty minutes.
I have that bad knee. I tend to be cautious with it. I did some nice stretches and then 10 minutes on the rebounder then off we went. Hayley my dog loved it. She is a true runner. I ran only for 20 - 25 minutes then walked the last couple of blocks back to the house.

I don't have my heart rate monitor so I am unsure of the actual numbers, but I sure know I was working pretty darn hard.

This was my first real run in around ten years. AWESOME MORNING!
7 knee and leg operations, radiation treatments, so many physio/rehab sessions I completely lost track of count. one child, one long depression, an abusive marriage, shed about half my body weight.
Ah. - yes this was MAJOR!
This is Vital Life! Thank you all for the encouragement and support.

It represents more than a physical achievement. It is so much more.

My diet has been less the stelar lately and this empowering experience is great motivation and self worth building.
teehee - mini high happening!

Late July - wow.
How did that happen?
Summer is zooming by. I have been enjoying a great season. It has been hot and lovely.
I start a two week vacation Saturday. Whoopee!
I'll take off Monday on a relaxing and fun week with my son on the lake.
I bought fishing poles. I haven't fished since I was a teen, and Joey has never fished yet. Some more time on the beach. I find walking barefoot on the hot sand so wonderful. I can hardly wait.
I have been working on leaning myself and toning up. I am making progress.
I have been fasting on and off again. I do love the clean feeling, however I have come to a conclusion that I am not repopulating my friendly flora . Darn darn darn.
Foolish girl. So the month of August is bowel management for me. I need to make my gut happy

I will be out of work in a few weeks. I have had a few tiny spells of anxiety in my office in the last few days. It has been home for fifteen years. I have many friendships there. I have always had that ground of stability in that building, when chaos was overwhelming me at all other turns.
I know I will be okay. This could be a perfect new beginning to great things.
I had a meeting with the president, and we came to a agreement for a severance package for me. Which will provide a good little cushion for
about 6 month's . That should give me plenty of time to find a new direction.

I read Fit for Life not Fat for Life this week.
That had tons of good info and some very very depression info on the state of our food system.

Which of course led me to research irradiation and Whole Food Enzymes, and antioxidants.

If nothing else it really made me look at my son's diet and some of the foods I feed him.
I have slowly been making adjustments over the past year, but it is so hard to do.
This book really motivates me to be more diligent in regards to what I purchase.

I also had no clue how many drugs the average person took.
I have taken 4 Advil's this year. All because of extreme headaches, that I crumbled under. Stress, dehydration and detox.

Well Time to walk the dog.
Be well everyone and enjoy the day!

Darn it I just lost an extremely long post- oh sigh.
well perhaps I will repost later tonight

It has been a great summer here.

Extremely fast in passing.
Down to the last week or two at work. Most likely I will be done this Friday.

I am calm about it. It is necessary and could be the push I need to move on to a whole new world.

I am going to work on Energy Cleansing.
My home need cleansing on residue negativity.
We are comfortable here, but not quit the balance to be at our best.
I will be reading up on the Garden Workbooks from Perelandra that Shelley mentioned to someone else.

I am buying a new computer system and digital camera . I am trying to pull together a realistic list of features and capabilities I need.
I have a goal of having it up and running in three weeks.

I am also going room to room purging things. I will post it all on Freecycle and send it off to new homes.

I have everything but a bag made for my sons gym clothes for back to school next Tuesday. He is ready to go. I have booked off the first day of school to take him and make sure all goes smoothly for him. LOL I have done this since Junior Kindergarden, and will keep doing it until he tells me not too.

I have to revamp my eatting and healthy living protocol.
How does it happen that I let so many positive things slide.
Mind you I don't slide into things like fast foods and super processed stuff but I do drop certain things that really do help and I do start to eat a few comfort things that hover in the grey area of not toxic but not benifical.
So this week I will start up bowel cleansing and get back to my rebounding and dry skin brushing daily.
I find if I get into a scheduled routine I am fine.
I lost routine with vaction this summer and traveling then didn't get back to it properly when daily life resumed.

Oh well.
Back at it.

I have been trying to get my act together and make some progress in tackling some of the issues facing me.
Take action.
I have been procrastinating something terrible. I am in a funk and need to snap out of it.
I have a friend from outside of New Orleans whom hasn't been hear from since Sunday afternoon. she and her husband and 6 children were heading north to stay with family.
I just saw photos on the new of her neighborhood. It is under water with just roof tops peaking through.

I am at a loss for words to describe my feelings at knowing that their home is in there somewhere.

I feel ashamed of my own self centered distorted view on my helplessness in my situation.

I am beginning to make progress in the right direction.
Yeah me.

I am still working in Toronto.
Holding on at a job that has become completely obsolete.
Today I awoke shortly after 4 am, after a restless night.
I turned on the television to the news channel.
I very rarely ever watch television, but I wanted to check on the situation in the south. Hoping to see that they have received more help.

Today at my job I accomplished in total perhaps 30 minutes of productivity. There was nothing else for me to do. Absolutely nothing. It is not a case of choosing not to do tasks I didn't want to do, there was nothing left.
The rest of the day I spent reading, chatting killing time.
The entire company is crumbling around us, it has become an awfully sad place and extremely poor moral.
I know I will be out of work. I have known and planned for it for some time.
The general paranoia and poor gossip is filling the place with so much negativity it is sad, and plain yucky.
There is talk that I will not be offered my package after all, that we all will show up one day and just be pink slipped. This would be difficult for me in meeting my obligations and plans for the next 6 months.
I am trying to keep positive but I have failed to stay focused and have slipped in diet, and exercises. I feel it, and it shows.
So I am standing up.
No more, I will not take on this negativity. I will be fine.
I will feed my body mind and spirit positive food, energy and love.
I am choosing to shed this negativity as of right now.
I am ordering the Garden Workbooks from Perelandra.
I am also planning a trip to see Julia Chang. She is only 1/2 an hour from where I work. I will have to put that off for a couple weeks when I have a bit more available funds to spend on products.
This weekend I am going to the lake and walk and play in the warm sand for a few days.
I am not sure when I will be able to travel to the capital to visit with my cousin, we had both hoped to get together this summer for a few days.
Perhaps we can arrange something for thanksgiving.
I have been reading up on energy cleansing techniques a bit this past two weeks. I have made progress within my home which is super.

Well off to bed now.
Be well everyone and be good to yourselves.

My Friend and her family from New Orleans are safe.

Such a relief.
Their home took extensive damage and they will be relocating north for 4-6 months.
Thanks for the prayers and positive energy sent.

Day 2 of being unemployeed.

I am fine with it. I thought I would freak out. I have been with the same corporation for just under 15 years.
This is an opportunity for me to explore some things and areas that intrigue me.
I have stopped running. My knee just is not capable of the impact.
The results energy wise and muscle building wise were awesome. I will really have to work harder to find alternatives.
I am back walking and hiking and am doing fine.

I have also been eatting poor choices. Bad Harmony hahaha
Funny how these poor food choices show so quickly in the skin.
Getting back on track with that as well.
Feeling so much more intune.

Balance is coming back. Now to find a new dirrection.
I feel vital and alive and excited.

It is 8:15 pm Friday evening.

I was planning on a relaxing game night with my son.
My mother who is living here in our house just fell down the stairs.
Not a tumbling crashing fall, more a boom boom boom slide onher heel. Scared the heck out of me.
Well she is moaning and complaning away.
okay, well it turns out the boom boom boom was the laundry hamper she was dragging and her fall was really only the last step where she twisted her ankle.
Now I did tend to checking for obvious fractures - nope.
Possible but she refuses to go to the hospital for an x-ray. why ->she is in too much pain.
I wrapped it with a tensor, used my office chair to wheel her to the sofa.
set her up with pillows and blankets, elevated the foot and am now icing it 15 mintutes on 15 minutes off.
I am frastrated and annoyed.
This is my mom.
I love her, but darn it I do wish she had more sense and was a bit more self efficient.\ or less needy.
Do I sound mean. I don't consider myself mean at all.

She was coming down the stairs
with a drink in one hand,
a laundry basket in the other
in the dark
a burning ciggerette in her mouth.
I forgot to mention she is still some what off balance from a sinus infection 10 days ago that caused a bit of vertigo.
Which she moaned about for three days and how she thought it was a brain tumor. ( by the way she seemed disappointed when her gp said it was a sinus infection...)

She seems happy with her tensor bandage. though I do wonder how she can lift it a i up so easily , and twist it around like that to inspect my handy work....
oh heck I guess this is a bit of bad Harmony being revealed to all
see you later.
oh boy do I have my hands full...

[harmony]

Well my mother is doing fine. A little bruising on the foot and a bit of swelling.
Over all she is fine, but seems disappointed it is not serious.
Sigh.
I am in an purging mood and will be freecycling a bunch of things out of my house. Rearranging furniture and just all around spiffing up the place

[harmony]

Ah the weekend. A time to relax and enjoy. Indulge in favorite past times.
