A Better Day

I am sitting in the living room watching Food Network after watching the Bears win big.  I am feeling a little more positive than some of my past blog entries.  I think I will take advantage of the time change, set out my workout clothes and hit the treadmill in the morning instead of going into work at 6:00 a.m. which I fear I may do because I will be up, awake, and ready.  Then Tuesday, since we are closed, I will go in to SMC and take Michele's 6:30 body pump class.  I also will set up my area for yoga and begin to do my stretches and exercises again to see if I can regain some flexibility that I when I was doing my physical therapy. 

So, I will report back so you know how I am doing.  What I do know is lying around is not making my abs better, and my back is beginning to hurt more again as well.

I go back to see the nurse on Wednesday morning and hope the healing is going well.  I have not really seen the scars yet and am not looking forward to that portion.  I was hoping he was going to take a large section of the skin out but I can tell from the bandages that did not happen.  I am ready to be over all of this and move on.  I know the abs will always be an issue but I need I make the most of what I have, I can't go back, and then get to be the best me I can be with my limitations.  I have a lot of life to look forward to, I have a home I love, family I cherish, a sense of self that I want to experience.  I want to do an actual written bucket list and then experience everything on that list. 

So, do I have you motivated and pumped and ready to do it all?  I now just need to walk into the kitchen and check the dryer.  I might even pop some popcorn as my Sunday evening meal.  That was the family tradition in the Glynn household - our Sunday evening meal was popcorn and something sweet.  

Here is to a new tomorrow!
