Life goes on

I am still in the process of developing a routine, which can be built upon as needed, which is most effective to meet my current needs.

I often think I am there, and, ready to properly begin, only to find some impediment. However, even while being impeded, I persevere and I can feel that I am stronger, with better posture, and, can move more freely. So, it is all progress.

Yesterday, I had half an apple and half a grapefruit for breakfast, a Snickers bar for lunch, chicken fajita with beans and rice for dinner (1 tortilla) and three small empanadas for dessert, with coffee and non-dairy creamer.

I also had an impromptu dance session with my sisters and parents. We all worked up a bit of a sweat. I got where it was hard to talk. Sometimes, we stopped for a little bit and then started again. I feel very refreshed and a little sore from the experience. I am also tired, but, that is mostly because they put cheese on the beans and I was too hungry to ignore them.

This morning, for breakfast, I had 1/2 afrapple, chopped up and added to 1 cup of oatmeal, with a little Stevia, cinnamon and ginger powder and the tiniest splash of coconut oil.

Today, for lunch, I am having half an apple, approximately 1/2 a cup of cantaloupe, most of a banana, and 6 strawberries for a fruit salad - divided between two people. My son is having blueberry yogurt with his, and, I am having the Greek yogurt that I did not, after all, end up eating the other day.

We are also having two slices of cinnamon sugar toast, made with the high fiber bread and coconut oil. His has more sugar than mine, though.

I have been reading, again, about dynamic tension and other forms of strength training without weights.  Now, I need to do additional research on certain dance movements. This is in preparation for beginning to write out my at-home exercise routine.

Still have not gotten to go weigh, because, my ID is gone. I have no idea where it is, but, I cannot get money out of my bank account until I have it. Just one of many impediments. Another big one is that my kitchen sink cannot be used.

It's very hard to make sure one has the dishes necessary to prepare the meals wanted when someone else is cooking, too, and, when they are not necessarily cleaning up as quickly as needs be, when one has to take the dishes all the way back to the bathroom and scrub them out in the sink. Then, there is the cleaning of the stove, when the water is all the way down the house and to the left and then to the left. (sigh)

I will get this!
