Who's up for another 8-week challenge? Ooh ooh, pick me!!!!!
OK, this time, I'm up for 8-weeks of trying new things. Most of these include exercising, but a few include stimulating my brain, too.
Week one: Water aerobics and swimming. OK, so it isn't really new, but I haven't done it since 2002 or so, right about the time that I got auto-immune hepatitis and was so very sick for such a long time. In fact, it was during a water aerobics class that I first knew there was something wrong. After about 15 minutes, I was badly out of breath, my face was bright red, and I could barely stand. I was given help getting up the stairs and getting dressed and I saw the doctor the very next day. Ugh. That was not the most fun time of my life.
So, getting back to now... I can't start today because I have to get an ID card from the local Parks and Rec district and show proof of residency. I'll do that tomorrow. In the meanwhile, I already downloaded the form and have everything I need for proof ready to go. So look for that starting tomorrow.
For today, I tried a new walk with the dogs this morning. It turned out to be a little over 4 miles, and we all had a good time. (All including me and the dogs. Brian was still fast asleep when we were out today.) The day is SO gorgeous, I think we'll go try another trail in Forest Park today, too. No need to limit the new things.
Also, Marty found a recipe for a rice-less fried rice, which uses cauliflower instead of rice. Strange, but we found a beautiful purple cauliflower at the market on Saturday, so we'll probably have that for dinner. It will be a break from the squash lasagne, of which we still have at least 2 more meals sitting in the fridge.
So, that is it for today. Welcome to my new challenge. If you have some suggestions of new things I might light to try... send them my way.
Be happy and healthy!
