Girl Stuff

 
Last day of July and it's Friyay! Today is a work-work day at the lamp shoppe getting bases sanded, primed, painted and glossed. It's also Metabolic Renewal workout day- how will the workout kill me today I wonder? Please don't be another leg day 😜

Pretty proud that these 4 miler's are becoming a regular occurrence instead of a once in a blue moon event. This shows so much progress. I can now work on my time and adding in some short sprints. I'm being very careful to not injure anything... It seems whenever I start making progress with walking or running something stupid happens... plantar fasciitis, pulled muscle, etc. Not this time! Uber careful!


One of my favorite things to do while exercising...shoot some Nature photos and share it with my online friends and family. So exercising outside is very motivational because of that.
Since I've been keeping a record of my health stuff online pretty well, and because I think mainly chicks read my blog 😂 I'll put it out there that a most miraculous thing has been happening.
I'm not sure why or how long it will last and hopefully I don't jinx it...but my endometriosis- has gone dormant. Like no pains for months now. Not even a small reminder. None. Considering how extremely painful, debilitating and how much it has wrecked my life... This is the strangest, best and biggest thing that's ever happened to me. I'll restate- my endometriosis has gone dormant with no use of pharmaceuticals, birth control, surgeries, etc. GONE. After Covid hospital stay I opted to stay off birth control and that month was my last horrible month of pain. Then my body began having periods again... Granted these are heavy periods.. They do not hurt. No terrible cramps! I get the faintest whisper in my ovaries a few days before and that's it! I'll take heavy periods over pain for sure! And periods... Just like a normal woman has.. never thought I'd see the day. 😳 So yeah, that's been happening and I don't know why. I only hope it stays forever. I've done my time with extreme murderous pain and never ever want to see it again. It feels like I've won the lottery and been released from prison. It feels that good!
So my Metabolic Renewal workout is based on hormonal type .. And I think I may now be a whole different type because my initial issues are gone. 🤔
Anyway, girl stuff but important to me LIFE STUFF.
Covid made me really tune in to my body even closer than before and I'm learning how to care for it and change that care daily. Some days need extra care, some days I need to do less and rest, some days I can really push it but all days listen,listen, listen. It's nice to not curse your body and feel like you actually love your body for once, curves, gooshy parts and all.

It's the little things...

I will eventually get back to posting about art 😂 but I lost my first pound with just 3 days of dedicating myself to Metabolic Renewal...and this is me playing fast and loose because A. I did not buy their shakes I'm doing my own. So I don't really know their caloric/nutrition value vs mine. B. Getting 10,000 steps a day on my pedometer.... doesn't happen. That's almost two hours of walking a day. I get 8,000 or 9,000 before the Texas heat or work calls it off. C. Haven't followed any of the meal recipes. I've been winging it with good sense. I will get closer to their instructions in time ( like maybe next week) since I paid for it. My body is SORE AF. It's totally getting put through the paces and I'm lucky there are modifications for pudgy newbies like me. But 1st lb down is a good feeling because seeing the scale move down is what I'm after. I'm pretty proud of myself for yesterday in general..did my workout, a walking session THEN WENT ...

The New Way

Had a wonderful time at the Artists Showcase and Home Tour on Thursday. It was a great reminder of the new "Im worth it" path I've taken. I really feel like the artists were well taken care of and promoted and enjoyed the event very much. Here was my little curated space: All the artists got their own little spaces to create and show in this AMAZING house. I had lots of great windows and light in my space. Even though my endometriosis pains were popping in intermittently- I stood and smiled and chatted with visitors and fellow artists. These three were my largest pieces there and looked great on the spacious walls.   These look great together- I hope whoever eventually buys them is able to get both of them. Its a fun horizontal/vertical juxtaposition. The food was IMPECCABLE...the cake makers made these elegant cakeballs in various flavors and used each of the artists works to decorate the tops. I have arrived! My art is edible! Ther...

One thing leads to another

Sometimes it just takes one little action to get things rolling in the right direction. For me the action was ordering a giant roll of bubble wrap I didn't even have space for and when it arrived I had to figure out where it would live because my cats were already trying to hug it with their teeth and sharp little claws.  Also, why bubble wrap? What for?  I'm a big believer in taking some sort of action, big or small to make yourself move in a certain direction. I also believe in productive manifesting and the bubble wrap symbolized shipping. Shipping art out. Shipping lots of art out. Shipping out so much art I was justified in living with a big roll of bubble wrap for awhile!  So step one: order the bubble wrap and step two was the fun task of... Making a place for it to live. So manifesting was already happening and I decided I needed a designated area for shipping supplies and hell.. My printer needed a proper home too. I had a very messy shelf with an old printer on ...
