The Body Speaks!

Today has been such a beatdown! I began the day on the up, but then I was soon crashing (physically) and my body said, "Hey, remember when your legs were hallucinating a couple of weeks ago and you thought you were in pain then? Well, this is your WHOLE body talking tonight, not just your legs, and we are NOT hallucinating, we are completely conscious of everything going on and we are shutting you down today...do something light (after a nap), get in some good stretching, give us some reeeeealllly good nutrition, but after that... Don't even tempt us, we will rebel viciously and you will begin hitting yourself and falling down randomly, and throwing yourself headlong into the kitchen sink. We can and will control your limbs and functionality. Back off buddy...light is the word today, then go to bed."

I have listened. Took a nap. Did a light workout (and I mean light and smart), getting ready for some relaxing stretches, then some reading and lights out. I will heed the warning of my body as the whole kitchen sink thing just terrifies me, plus I don't need to risk injury or sickness just because I want to be gung-ho Samurai every day!

I guess yesterday I pushed a little too hard too long. Didn't realize it but I think I was in the sun a little too long yesterday too. I was really enjoying yesterday's workout, so I just kept going. Still gotta play this smart, though, as I am still a long way from the goal. 59 days and counting...I now have a counter to the bottom left so we can all count down the days...tick tock!

Oh, and I think there will be an article in a local Orlando-area paper soon. Holly took a call from someone today I think and she got it all set up. Holly is working on some very cool things behind the scenes to help me out, so I can focus on what I need to do. I will definitely post links for that when it happens.

Going to finish up some stretching and reading now...I sense a big week ahead of us!
