Yesterday was a better day food-wise than it had been all weekend. Exercise-wise, not so good. It was very hot and humid here and being that it's the start of the summer, I'm not use to it just yet. So, I didn't exercise yesterday unless you count going up and down 2 flights of stairs to do laundry. I swear I sweated 2 pounds of water.
I will again attempt to do some type of exercise today. It seems to be less humid right now than it was yesterday at this time. So, today is another new day!
Lately, I have been thinking about what is hindering my progress with my health and I have learned some things about myself. I have had a lot of things swimming around in my head and there have been circumstances with people that have caused me to become defensive, angry, sad and just plain untrusting. What I have learned is that when I have these things happening to me and around me I seem to not want to do anything for myself. It's strange, I know and I'm still not sure what it is exactly that makes me become this way.
I have told you in previous blogs that I crew on a friend's sail boat. When we get on the boat we need to remove all jewelry that we have on our hands, especially if we are pulling lines. So, they have this little duck basket in the cabin that holds all our valuables like cell phones, sun glasses, wedding rings and such. They call this duck basket the Lucky Duck. I was thinking of the Lucky Duck yesterday and how I should be more like a Lucky Duck. I need to let the unimportant things roll off my back and only hold the valuable things.
The thing is, there are always going to be circumstances, people, places and things that are going to be negative and offensive and disheartening, but I cannot allow it to always affect me in my daily life. So, today I'm going to be a Lucky Duck. I know it won't be that easy since I am a sensitive person, but I know that I can only do all this with God's help.
Be a Lucky Duck with me today! It will be fun! :)
Have a wonderful day!
