My energy level seems to be pretty high these days. Yesterday, I even climbed up on the roof, cleaned out the gutters, cut back some tree branches, and to commemorate the occasion, took a panoramic picture….lol! See, I had been too chicken to get on a roof ever, even this one which has a very gentle slope. My too-vivid imagination went into overdrive and all I could think of was how much it would hurt when I fell. But yesterday I crammed that fear into my pocket and got my quivering butt up that ladder. (And of course Loverboy was holding it tight and straight for me). (The ladder! the ladder!) I was feeling pretty darned cocky, let me tell you.
Got a lot of work done today at the office, too. One corner of my desk is almost clear.
And I cooked when I got home. Yes! A real meal with FIVE different vegetables. Fitday’s nutritional reports have spooked me - I am way too low on many critical nutrients so have upped the veggie intake substantially, cut out bananas and added more variety of fruits, too, and am drinking at least one cup of organic unsweetened soy milk a day.
Maybe it is exhaustion-generated euphoria…lol…darn dog has decided that 5am is a good time to start the morning. This is new and not welcome behaviour. I thought I had him trained to sleep in!
I have been maintaining the 60 minutes a day minimum walking. So far so good. I hope that gets me closer to my goal than I managed last month. Maybe I should take advantage of this early am rising and stay up to do some stretches and toning. Anyone ever heard of sleep-ab-crunching?

Oh my gosh, there is no way I could get on the roof, heights terrify beyond reason. Way to conquer your fears!
60 minutes of walking a day! You are good!
