The Little Things In Life

I relish the moments when everything feels just right. Right now, nothing is hurting too much (teeny bit of back pain, but better than usual), it's nice and warm in my bedroom, all my pillows are adjusted perfectly. It's the little things in life, I guess.


I spent most of the day in bed. Resting. I felt the need. I even took a nap with Keenan. I used to feel so fat and lazy when I'd do that, but now I understand that its necessary for me. Both for mental and physical reasons. But due to my irrational devotion to getting in my 10,000 steps, I never spent too much time being sedentary. I have to get up and move.

Around I dragged myself out of bed and went to the gym. I did something I haven't done in YEARS. Probably since 2012 or 2013... I used the StairMaster! 4,000 steps. 35 minutes solid. No stopping. I wouldn't have been able to do that even two months ago. It's a huge improvement in my cardiovascular stamina. I'd gotten so out of shape, I hadn't realized how badly until I started trying to do the things I once did. Well, I'm getting back there. Slowly but surely. And I'm still dropping weight, which is crazy to me. I don't remember ever having such an easy time losing weight. It's always been something I've struggled with. Now I don't. I eat what I want, exercise reasonably, try to sleep well, and it's just happening. Eventually I'll just settle at my perfect weight and when I get there, I'll be happy. I'm happy now, but I'll be content with wherever I end up.

I've got a pretty solid work week ahead of me. I'm not upset about it. I need the hours. But already I know I'm going to be tired tomorrow, because it's after midnight and I'm not tired. My punishment for being lazy all day.
