And I'm going crazy.
What do people do who don't exercise? They have so much free time to fill!
Saturday and Sunday I was out of town so that was actually fun. Monday? I taught myself to play Silent Night on my uke. I KNOW. By Tuesday, Day 4 of complete rest, I was going out of my mind.
Slim pickins, but at $1, they worked just fine.
Violator is the MOST fun!
On Halloween, Day 5, I did what many of y'all did, admired the tiny, costumed people roaming my neighborhood, begging for candy. If it hadn't been Halloween, I might have gone to the gym to sit in the sauna for an hour. I'm dying to sweat!
Let's see, oh, I also got a flu shot and now my arm feels like it's going to fall off. Just what I needed, another thing to go wonky!
So, in the interest of keeping myself (somewhat) busy, I'm looking for new challenges. I see your instagram pics from @fatmumslim's photo a day challenge. So this 11th month, I shall attempt to participate. Let's see how long before I forget. Keep in mind I have NO creative eye for photography. Running it through the Nashville filter is as exciting as I get. Just keep your expectations low.
Today, Day 1, is "Something beginning with 'C'". I could have gone with Cat since there are plenty of those skulking about the house. But instead I chose my favorite Cup. Actually, I use it as a bowl, but indeed it is a cup and that, to the best of my knowledge, begins with a C. I love the bright blue inside, the brown graphics amuse me and Cheerios (also with a C) taste fantastic in it.
So Day One. I'm photographing cups. Help me.
Oh mah guah, what do YOU do when you are resting??? I need suggestions!
I'm sorry you're in pain. Rest is like torture after being so active, especially when all your friends are out playing without you. I hate to be a bad influence, but I'm afraid you might have to get cable. :)
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking the same thing! I can't believe how much time I have. Reading is always on my list when I have to rest. Or Pinterest, I could spend hours on that site. :)
ReplyDeleteAmy, you're speaking my truth right now. All I wanna do is get to the gym but I HAVE to stay off my ankle. Please please go for me. I'm going today to sit in the whirlpool. Just gotta go. Boot & all. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteOn Monday you also went shopping, silly!!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm slightly spacey and want to EAT ALL THE THINGS. Um, I think our plan is backfiring??
I know the rest is boring and sucky, but, you're getting some time to just BE and it's ok :)
I'm a terrible rester. Got nothin' for you but GOOD LUCK!!!
ReplyDeleteGirl! Come do the #yogaAday Instagram challenge at www.GrowSoulBeautiful.com or @growsoulbeautiful on Intagram. Will help you recover ;)
ReplyDeleteYou can come take care of my chi'lens if you need something to do! Or make me lunch.. whichever you prefer! :)
ReplyDeleteFunny - all the people who say incredulously "How do you find time to train for that stuff?" or claim that they are "too busy" for a healthy lifestyle. With training as part of a balanced and healthy life, it feels great to take a break from it once in a while - even if the days become maddeningly long! Christmas shopping, perhaps?
