Surpassing Monday

Home-made and scaled down thrusters (I realize the colors of my garb don't match :)

I'm basking in the post workout glow after a quick workout followed by a 3-mile run (first 3-mile run I've done for as long as I can remember). Today, the endorphins did me good.

Assisted pull-ups

Yesterday, not so much. Despite keeping my reps and rounds low, I pushed myself to the point of nausea. After a power nap, I felt better enough to work up enough courage to face the fear of my directionally-challenged self and I left the safe-feeling confines of my parking lot. I got as far as a Walmart (while looking for Target) and Publix. A couple more key favorites and I'll be set :)

Anyway for now, I'm relieved to have surpassed what felt like an unsurmountable Monday -- a feat that comprised of sleeping through the night without paranormal visits, followed by reducing the volume of fears and thoughts that ran rampant during the first couple of hours at my new job.

Now, I'm happily embracing the comfort of silence in my new home and giving a special part of myself to this blog not only as a way to document my journey, but to see how my thoughts evolve ... or, de-evolve in time ... :)

Here are the dark chocolate tuttles that I got a dozen of from Kilwins. I owe a great deal of my motivation toward yesterday's workout to it's consumption at breakfast yesterday, lol.

I type this partially under candlelight and it lends a very romantic feel to my evening (the picture doesn't give the candle glow justice, and the noise is a bit much, but oh well):


Ok, that's it for now. Time to visit with my Buffy "friends" now as I wind down for the evening :)
