Kinetic meditation

 Breath in, 4 strokes breathing out. Repeat all while repeating in our head the number of the lap she is on. 

Our Heroine Aquisized this morning and did 10 laps in the evening. The scale is unfortunately/ fortunately showing gains but it is muscle. 

Don't get her wrong if she ever finds herself in an intimate setting she wants to not lose her breath from being out of shape. And things are drinking in places she would like them too. This time around  Our Heroine is aiming high. She looks forward to the day her head rests on a heart that feels like home. But that is a bonus. Feeling self empowered. That is the win. That and no medical bill for preventable illnesses. 

There is a plank challenge that out Heroine has wanted to be able to do. She tried when she started this fitness journey. So watch for it. 

Side witch project

 Today's adventures of Our Heroine involved The side Witch 🧹 and the Viking Cat Lady🐈.

The day starts my our Heroine drinking coffee trying out a new cream alternative for her coffee working great might be better with flavored stevia. Then she was working on stock for Pagan picnic and damaging both of her thumb nails. One she cracked the polish the other she chipped the nail  as such she will be doing a special trip to the nail lounge for a repair tomorrow it is just 7 days since she had then done. 

After that She and the Side Witch 🧹 met up with the Viking Lady🐈 did lunch then headed to the Great abis of storage to look for treasures. They spent 3 long hours and sorted many things. The Viking Cat Lady left with her car Full. 5 boxes when to the Thrift, a half box of cups for the kingdom, and pewter for the Heroine to melt Means walking room in the Great Abis of storage, Yay! 🎉

Still Our Heroine got she ass to the Pool and did her work out and her 10 laps. She did her laps in 17 min new record. Bad news she is not sure if her is now putting on so much muscle that is is out pacing fat lose pound for pound. 😔 Middle class, middle aged, first world, yoga pants wearing, white women problem. 😆 But man Her Legs Look amazeballs. 

Just keep swimming, Just keep swimming, Just keep swimming.

100 laps = 2.64 miles

37.25=1 mile.

Over coming the overcast day

Today our Heroine had to make boundaries firm with her Client. As such her dropped her at the Medical Appointment and then logged off the clock. Sucky because lost pay. But also good because the Heroine did not stay off the clock. The old habits would have had her do so. 

The Heroine then did errands.Food yes our Heroine remembered to feed herself, Fuel, key made, Food for the 4 Footed, musical, hot water, bottle that yells at her for snacrifises. And a walk up Cahokia mounds, then a chocolate coffee vegan protein smoothie. After a short rest at which time, lap time as demand. And at past off to second client. After work our Heroine ate a salad before she met up with a young man in the parking lot behind the garden at The college to pick up a rock (this will be how she dies one day) 😂 

Since all the way home n E-ville she stopped at the club of Sam again the straight to Swimming before she talked her self out of them.

This wasn't supposed to be an off day but She got things done like it way. 

Tomorrow Our Heroine and the Side Witch meet up with a Viking cat 🐈 😺 lady. They are doing lunch and raiding a storage unit. 

Labradorite

The thistles blooming on Monks mound  

Dott is a dick she took my computer chair so I sat on the futon but she came over and demanded attention. Bossy cat

 

Cheshire Moon I was thinking the clouds would let me see the planets Tonight 

While she is not thrilled with her shape she is happier then she was 

 

Trying to chase the grumpies away. An accidental poem

 Our heroine woke up grumpy. And the cat was loud and spoke too much. That fur line musical hot water bottle had a lot to say and demanding to be held. 

Our heroin did not sleep well, so it seems. 

Yet she had to rise early from her dream. 

Scheduled to work early per the norm,

but her clients shift was in short form 

As our heroin clocked off only 40 minutes in. 

Would the day go to waste? What a sin 

Overcast and cloudy heroin was pouty 

And so errands she ran off to do, 

Trying to cound blessing to chance of the blue.

Drop off at thrift store, then cat food & fuel oh what a cost,

Get a send key for truck made adding up the financial loss.

Maybe swim in not this early especially in the rain.

Wait a hike up Cahokia mound stairs, (sounds like my insane)

Arrived at the mound site

Get to the top in one go with all my might

Thistle, comfrey and clover, Butterflies and birds, 

The view is fantastic, and so many other words.

Tourists and locals, swallows and chimney swifts and painted ladies, dandelions and goat weed,  also pineapple chamomile,

The sun comes out and the view is clear and I can't help but smile.

Our Heroine was Grumpy and trying to keep her feeling at bay

If she can't count your blessings she'll make new ones today. 

Just Keep swimming

 Our Heroine spent the weekend being Mama bear for a friend the Ginger Boy making their birthday fun by running around Chicago land. Missed swimming because of it.

However that didn't slow her down no it did not. 

Our Heroines new best time for 10 laps is 20 min. 

37.25 laps = 1 mile.  60 laps almost at 2 miles 

Woot. 

So for old beltain our Heroine shared time with a friend and had fun. 

Catieo transport

 Our Heroine is ADHD. As such her day off involved moving a Catieo for the Queen of Dorks around 3pm. As such the Heroine had to spend her day in that area of the town. 

She had new sparkles added to her nails. Found a smoothy place with Mango Tajin as a flavor. Visited a clothing store. Found a boba store with peach tea and mango popping boba. And bought hangers for the Strawberry truckasaurus rex because the swim suit and towel spends more time in it and needs to hang. Also she acquired better swim goggles and swim hands. 

Still she made it back in time to Aquisize plus she did her 10 laps after. And she broke her own record for time for them 30min. The goal is to get better at the 10 before adding more laps. This is a skill application she learned from the Master of cordiers. He once told the Heroine not to enter 12 entries into a largess competition, but instead make one dinomite entry. This logic can be applied to any skill. And is something ADHD folks have a challenge with. 

However because the goal of 10 is just short enough that as the boredom of repetition sets in the task is over. 

Our Heroine did not eat enough salt today so at the end of laps she was in rough shape and had to quickly remedy the salt issues. 

All is all not a bad day though.

Miles of swimming

 Our Heroine is working out in the pool and now swimming everday. Her goal is to do laps everyday that she is home. 37.25 laps 1 mile. 

Our Heroine has been good and has done 10 laps on everday she didn't work out. This means 4 days so far. Some days it was hard for our Heroine to make herself go. However our Heroine has 2 people to answer to... One is her 8 year old self and the other is her 80 year old self. If she intends to live into her 90's them this is a gate way.

Today our Heroine has passed her first mile by hitting 40 laps. 

Yay!
