. . . to paraphrase a currently playing ad on the TV for a depression medication. Exercise helps me so I try to keep it going.
So yesterday was an off day . . . I was feeling terribly out of sorts for many reasons. I still have a sore throat so I know I am battling some kind of summer malaise. Of course, that doesn't help my mood at all. Having a sore knee doesn't help either as it is making me not feel like exercising. I have been dancing too as that always gives me a lift . . . and it is very aerobic once you get into the actual moving around the room past the warmup/flexibility/drills.
Speaking of physical acitivity . . . one year ago I started back into the heavier workout routine. Except for the break when I had my surgery, I've been fairly consistent and I can tell how much better I feel (see I can pep-talk myself too). I am now able to lift those 40lb bags of kitty litter, lol!! I was having a hard time with the 18lb bags last year,hehe, so now I can save myself some money by getting the larger ones. Except for the odd night (like the night before last where I ended up getting up at 2am and going back to bed at 4am), it has been helping me sleep better.
Now I guess I need to come up with a strategy for surviving for a few months and as a useless unemployed techie. I've been bouncing some ideas around but I am tackling the useless wasted expenses . . . like dropping the newspaper, emusic subscription, things i can live without type stuff . . . maybe getting my car insurance reduced . . wow, that alone is over $100 a month now, stupid car!
And yes, trying to sell more of my dance stuff, but that is kinda down to the dregs as I've sold off the easily sellable. I don't want to sell my CDs and DVDs but those are more easily turned in to quick cash. I think I'll take some photos to post this weekend . . . doesn't hurt to try!
Celebrating my fitness by buying a new pair of shoes! The walking kind . . . lol . . . ordered some from New Balance today since they carry the wider widths. They no longer make the style I bought last year (naturally), so I bought the one that "replaced" it . . . we'll see if it fits as well.
That's all . . . tired of thinking now so back to doing.
