What - Another Post So Soon?

Be still my beating heart - I am writing again in the blog the second time this week.  I am not sure why except it is 5:30 a.m. on a Saturday and it is darn quiet in the house.  I have not turned on the television nor opened my iPad. 

I keep thinking about next week's doctor's appointment and hope he looks at everything and has a plan.  I am really ready to have a little more symmetry so I can at least buy a bra that fits both sides.  Of course, at this stage of the game, smaller is better.  My cup runneth over a little on the rebuild side and I am always rearranging things to fit certain bras. 

I think I have just given up that my abs are going to feel any different.  The best part of the day still continues to be when I get home from work and stretch out in the lazy-boy and just let my abs release themselves - aaaaaahhhhhh.   I have been doing yoga two times a week and I know if I increased that to doing some poses every day it would continue to help - I think.  The only relief I really get is when I gently massage that abs area which runs right down the middle from my sternum to my pubic bone and then I can actually feel it release the cramping tightness.  That does not mean it is not still really tight - it just relaxes and no longer feels pulling.

I have decided to sign up to the Student Activity Center at SMC and begin to work out on a more regular basis, lose some weight and being building muscle back in my arms and legs.  I am amazed how little muscle I have now when I used to be pretty bulky - although I was never skinny so you could see the muscle but it was there and I could use it and feel it.  The older I get, the more I notice when the muscle is needed for just daily tasks and/or extra stuff like hauling mulch.

The exercise will also help with stress which is just part of life, but lately seems to me on the up swing again. 

Well, off to see what else is going on this morning.  Be good, take care of yourself.

Live, laugh, love!
