Well, my first walk was the last one, so far. The next day I drove to Minden, NV to visit my mother. I got home late the following Saturday night...and then I never got back on the horse.
However! I found out that my dose of antidepressant has been too low and my doc ramped me up to twice the dose. Wowza! I hadn't realized how not "like myself" I'd been feeling. Like the commercials say: Depression hurts. I was also diagnosed with bursitis in my left shoulder and received a cortisone shot there last week. I wasn't supposed to lift anything with that arm for a few days. It's working GREAT today, though. Yippee!
The last two days I've had energy to burn! Yesterday I cleaned my kitchen for the first time in a month. Today, I cleaned my GARAGE! It was a gorgeous day here in Flagstaff, by the way. I'm sorry for those in the more eastern parts of the country who are freezing but it's been really fantastic weather here. We WILL pay for this, though, if we don't get some more precipitation of some kind. We will literally burn over the summer. It's way too dry.
I'm looking forward to finding out what else I can accomplish tomorrow! I can't describe to you what a huge difference I'm feeling. It's like being 20 years younger again. I hope I'm not so stiff I can't move tomorrow. Of course, I'm told that the remedy for stiff muscles is to do more of what made them stiff in the first place.
I'll be moving stuff that I sorted from the garage into the storage building and into the house tomorrow, and intend to get my home gym -- the one I picked up from my mom's house --
set up in the garage. At least I'd like to get it out of my vehicle. Who knows? I may get up and take my dog for a long walk in the morning. Tee hee! :-)
I get to pick up my new bike on Thursday or Friday, thus the need to get the home gym out of my SUV.
Oh, and I have COOKED my own dinner three nights in a row, too. Tonight I had homemade spaghetti sauce over spaghetti squash instead of pasta. It was a-MAZ-ing! That was in the middle of cleaning out the garage! I am truly amazed at my energy.
I am thanking Heavenly Father for this strong, sturdy body and for the energy and motivation to do what I've done today. Without Him I would not have life and I would certainly not have joy in it, either. I am terrifically grateful today for today and the many blessings the day has manifested to me.
This picture is the "present" me. (2/15) Okay, it was taken last August when I received my endowments at the Snowflake Temple. I'm actually about 20 pounds heavier at this moment.
Keep the faith!
