Morning workout was Shoulders Day, so lots of dumbbell work and barbell work after the warm up. Is going pretty well so I had to up the weight a little for this to make sure the “Hard But Doable” portions are just that.
All of my errands and tasks today went off well without a hitch, which is a welcome change to how the last couple of days have gone. I’ve been surprised at my reading level lately, which I think I mentioned briefly once already this week, but I started my third book this morning and have decided to read Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis. This is a fascinating book thus far, lots of scientific style observations and logic-style thought through some of the most base level aspects of Christianity and why you should have a hard time believing anything else. A very interesting and unique perspective! I haven’t finished it yet, so look forward to continuing it tomorrow!
Master Class was also interesting as they get into the hormones and physical aspects of stress from a scientific perspective and how sometimes just changing your thoughts and attitudes about certain things could change the chemicals released by your body, which may reduce stress if done well, or exacerbate stress if not, or make it harder to make right decisions.
I don’t know if we have, but we may have mentioned in other places on the blog that we recently moved across the country last year. We were in Nevada and now we are on the Eastern Seaboard. One of the biggest differences between the two areas, obviously is the plant life. In Nevada most of the family was allergic to sage brush, so allergies were everywhere in our house. Thankfully that is not as much the case. Our littlest one, and I, seem to have it the worst! Congestion, chest congestion, and lots and lots of coughing, all the time, trying to just get it all out of our bodies so we can breathe. It’s rough! The pollen in this area is second to none right now. While at the park for my cardio workout, I stopped at the Events Center they have to look at the special events memos they put up in the window, and could only see the cloud of pollen in the air that I just stood in. Had to exit quickly…could feel that I was breathing it in completely. That visible, that bad! Keep your meds handy, it was Sooo Much Pollen!
