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.

Addicted

  Well it's official. I am addicted. Luckily to nothing horrible. It was bound to happen. I'm addicted to the morning walk...the endorphins...the serotonin...the "me" time....the solitude....the music pumping in my ears...the nature I see and feeling like I control my day.  I'm usually up before the sun and getting as much mileage as my body allows. Sometimes it's more than others but it's always good. I'm going to add in more sprints here and there as "burst" exercises are better for me than long running sessions.  Yes, even on the weekends I'm out doing it. There is no sleeping in and admittedly I woke up at 2:30am and started having my morning coffee in preparation... Even though I will wait till much later to go out. That's how I know it's an addiction.  Currently on Week 6 and haven't missed a workout or even postponed it. I showed up for myself and made myself a priority every morning. I am proud of that and so much LESS...

Shoot for the Stars!

Shoot for the Stars! Latest painted record featuring Han Solo AVAILABLE ($50) Theres a beautiful rain falling this Friday morning, it's a quiet steady and soft rain. The complete opposite of how it started....loud thunder cracking, waking me up from sleepyland and making my computers blink. Now it's just a little drip drip and quietude. Rain makes primering a no go since I primer outside. I am looking for the perfect large box to spray in, this will ease a lot of trouble with tree detritus landing on a barely sprayed record and wreaking havoc. My house was busy yesterday with order drop off and order pickup and then a graphic design job I was waiting to hear about popped up so I'm officially BUSY for the next two weeks at  least. Wrapping up record orders and the graphic work and I'm happy to be busy and working from home. This record featured above is up for grabs until someone grabs it. I won't have time for new vinyl for awhile so get it while it's t...

Ride Your Ride Your Ride

my bike Tuco, named after the Ugly One in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly Lifes little surprises never cease to amaze me. I'm not exactly sure how to tell this story but I will try. A few weeks ago my Mom says she was digging around in an old dresser and found this little funny package. The package was flat and made from beer boxes, cut and taped together and a little over 12" x 12" big. On it was my Dads handwriting stating what was inside. RECORDS! And not just any records but records I had wondered what had happened to because I knew my Dad really liked them....FATS DOMINO! He had taken care and written the names of the records for safe keeping. Now they are mine to cherish.  It was like a little gift from the other side...which sometimes doesn't feel very far away. In fact most days it feels like my Dad is still right here with me. With Fathers Day happening this weekend he has been on my mind more than usual.  So yesterday I was a little surprised to ge...
