monday night when dh and I were buying groceries, we turned into an isle and there was a man there and he had opened a can of beanie weanies and was eating them right there. He took the can and put it back on the shelf. I wanted to turn him in dh would not let me. I feel that everyone who steals from a store is also stealing from me because the store has sto raise prices to cover the cost of the stolen items.
I exercised today. I did 30 minutes of hand weights and 45 minutes walking. I read that when you use hand weights you do not have to use heavy weights you can use light weights and just double your reps. The goal is to challenge your muscles and you can do it with heavy weights and a few reps or light weights and more reps. I like using all the weights. Like this morning I used 3pound weights and Wed. I will use 8 pounds and Monday I will use 5 pounds and then Wed. I will start again with the 3 pounds. That keeps my muscles from getting used to what I am doing.
Tomorrow I will walk but I will also do 30 minutes of stretching and flexability. I think it would be really easy to let my joints get used to not being challenged and then it would get harder and harder for me to move as easily as I do now. I see so many people my age already starting to slow down, and they move like they are in pain or like they are stiff all the time. I am going to try to keep that away from me if I can.
Went to church tonight and the preacher asked me to testify. That took me by surprize and I was stunned for a few seconds. But the words came and I did it. I can only thank the Lord for giving me the words. I do speak in public and I do go to different churchs to give my testimony but that is planned and I know what I am going to say. Tonight was spur of the moment.
I was so hungry when I got home tonight that I ate some raisens . Thesy are good for you and not to heavy to be going to bed. Speaking of eating I probably ate about 2000 calories today. But most of it was healthy like lightly steamed stir fry veggies, edamame, chicken breast, sweet peas, raisens, mini wheats for a snack. Calores too high but it was mostly healthy, and I did exercise.
sleep well everyone'
God bless

i'm glad you are doing weights, Joy. i have read that if you do weights before walking or any other kind of cardio, you burn more calories. i have 5 pound weights that i use. i do squats and then mostly upper-body exercises.
ReplyDeletelove you, Joy, and i'm praying for you always!
