Invincibility depends on one's self. Sun Tzu
It's still a tough slog to make any sort of progress.
Still taking walks inside a building for longer and longer periods. Made it to 30 minutes this week. Kettlebell carries included as I want to make progress faster.
Doing a lot of side jobs and finding time for fun is necessary ... this staying at home, locked in the office is getting to me.
It's been a struggle, I'll admit that.
Tough for me as the life I have is somehow letting me down. I've been journalling a lot these days. I'm supposed to be training but I'm finding that I just forget to get it done and I'm back in bed at the end of the day.
Sleeping has improved and so has life in he last three weeks. I've started to take the time I have to be at work to my advantage: planning, doing the things I need to do for my job and getting healthier. Walking, doing a lot of stretching. Water.
Keeping my hands washed and my family happy.
I've been tutoring online and waking up early as a result of going to bed and being able to fall asleep on time. I still sometimes wake up, thinking I'm hearing my ten year old trashing the house.
I'm looking forward to the spring. Getting outside into the hiking trails. Seeing the place for the first time.
I spent the weekend trying to fix things: my garage gym, my basement, my kitchen and my interenet access. All of them messed up by a little boy and his attempts to be a big boy.
He means well, but it comes across as ugh.
Anyway, Monday morning got into my garage gym for the first time since ... well . I can't recall. A long while. Since before the Covid-19 started. Just stretching for about fifteen minutes. So welcome.
I saw my gym again and I nearly cried. It's going to be a long journey back to health. Again.
Well, I've been stretching as soon as I wake up.
My family has been stressed and then a grandparent passed away last week. Yeah, it wasn't something that was unexpected - she was really sick, fighting Cancer for two years.
As always, cancer sucks.
And then my neighbours call in the City to let them know I haven't had the stuff together to mow my lawn in a few weeks. And work is always stressful. So ... yeah. It's been a few weeks of stress.
At least I've been able to stretch and try to get myself moving again.
I'm liking this "new to me" Apple Watch, as it reminds me to move and to focus on my breathing every once in a while.
I'm also liking the activity tracker, too. I'll investigate the online versions of this information this week.
But at least I'm not having to deal with the stuff my wife is having to deal with - her mother passed this past week. Not a good week to start anything, but I have kept up the whole rolling out of bed and stretching for 20 minutes or so routine in the morning. It does appear to be helping, but Im' not sure how much it is helping.
Legs and hips are stiff from limited activity for the last half a year. Ankles, too.
I've got a mountain to climb.
