It has been a long day. I met someone at 8:00 this morning in Cottonwood Falls. I had a list of things I needed to talk to them about and we got it all covered and were done with our meeting by 8:30.
I came home and went back to bed. I had trouble getting a nap in though as my phone kept ringing and I kept getting texts and messages. Gave up and got up and got a few things done.
Had a phone conversation with the people that are drawing up the contract I have been working on with someone. Good to get to this point in the process and am hoping to see a rough draft later this week. That will feel good to get that signed and enter into the final stages of that legally.
I left the house a little after 1:00 this afternoon to go to my 1:30 exercise class. The coordinator from KU came down and met with me and my trainer. She had trouble getting my new Fitbit to work so that meeting lasted about 30 minutes longer than she expected it to.
Once I got through all the paperwork and learning how to use the Fitbit and track my exercise time, the trainer and I did my first workout together.
We watched a video of exercises and did them along with the video. The trainer did them too – kinda. She coached me once or twice but otherwise we just watched the video and did what they said to do.
It was a simple routine. I was told they start me off slow and gradually increase the intensity of the exercises we do. I don’t think I will be sore tomorrow as it didn’t feel I got a very hard workout in. I sat in a chair or stood by the chair during today’s exercises. Hard to think what I did today will do much good but I don’t know much about this type of thing.
I worked out for about 40 minutes today. I have exercises I have to do at home tomorrow that they said would only take about 15 minutes. I go back to the gym on Wednesday afternoon and then again on Friday. I only have to do 150 minutes of exercise per week to meet the goal they have set for me. With doing the gym for 30 -40 minutes three times a week I won’t have to do much at home to get the 150 minutes.
After I was done at the gym I went and had lunch. I then stopped at McDonald’s and picked up 30 fry boxes. I was out of them and like to have them on hand. They come in handy many times. I am going to clean the garage out tomorrow and then work on the barn and needed some boxes to put stuff in to give away.
I headed over to do taxes. It was a slow night as two people called and cancelled and two others didn’t show up. I much prefer nights when we are busy. I don’t like to sit and visit and wait. I only prepared one return but I checked three returns. I got done early and was out of there by 7:30.
Tomorrow I have a free day at home. I will have to do my 15 minutes of exercises but have nothing else on my calendar. I hope to be able to tackle cleaning out the garage tomorrow. It desperately needs cleaned out.
Wednesday I go back to town for two different tax preparation sessions and exercise in between. I’ll go see the Chiropractor and I have two errands to take care of while I am in town Wednesday.
It will be good to have a free day tomorrow. I need a day to slow things down a bit and take care of a few little things. I forgot to call the locksmith today so need to take care of that tomorrow.
Felt good to get the first exercise session in. The program definitely feels doable to me now. I’m sure the intensity will increase as time goes by and I will be able to tell I am working out. I liked the trainer and think we will get along OK together. It will take me a bit to get in the routine of all of it but I can do this.
I sure like days when I get to stay home better than the days I spend most of my time in town. I didn’t get drained being in town most of the day. I will consider today a win as a result. I’m grateful I have tomorrow to stay home and refill.
Grateful the first day of exercise is successfully completed, grateful the contract is being drawn up, and grateful I get to stay home all day tomorrow.
