My Journey With Health And Fitness – Taking A Day To Have Some Fun

Yes, we are still finding concrete dust in the condo. We’ve been working on a list of little jobs we want to get done before we leave like cleaning all the power outlet/light switch covers, cleaning the decks and repainting the outdoor bistro set. Today it was the tops of the cupboards in the kitchen and trust me they have lots of concrete dust. However, we have cleaned them and will keep looking for more to clean up.

I got up at the usual time this morning planning to do my daily 5:30am walk and realized a big storm was making its way through. It was pouring rain and the wind was really blowing. Now, having made the mistake before of thinking I should go for a walk and the storm would pass (remember the September incident when by time I realized it wasn’t a squall and I had to walk back to the condo in water halfway up my calves?) so maybe it would be better if I just had another bottle of water. I also realized with the weather the way it was my kitties were likely not to be around looking for food. Then I thought you know what, we’re planning on having some fun later today, why not give myself a break.

I’ve been pretty good while I have been down here including yesterday doing 1.5 hours of walking, a 1 hour bootcamp class and 1/2 hour working out at the gym. It is time to give myself a bit of a break and so I canceled my online class and other than cleaning the cabinets (which is already done) I figure I am giving myself a me day. Later my husband and I will head downtown to walk the length of 5th Avenue then head out for dinner. On the way home it will be a quick stop at a grocery market for some much necessary supplies and a nice relaxing evening. Just a fun day with some mental recharging.

Not to worry, I’m back at it again tomorrow with similar time working out that I did yesterday. Not bad given that I have been here nearly 8 weeks and haven’t missed a single weekday of exercising. But you know what? I’m quite content with doing a fun day.
