Push when pushing is right--breathe when it serves and dance whenever you can!

I think that working our bodies is a lot like working our brains. You know the neuroscientists say the more we learn, the more we can learn. Well, I believe that's true for energy as well: the more we harvest/use/generate energy, the more we CAN generate. Go forth and move that body!! YES: the energy is there for the taking, Cindy.

It was timely for me because I've been resisting committing to more intense working out. But the universe has hit me over the head several times in quick succession reminding me of what I KNOW but haven't wanted to address, namely that if I want more energy and strength to do all the stuff I want to do (heck, even to do a fraction of what I want to do), I have to get that energy from my body, which means cardio training. So! Your post (actually your whole project, but this post in particular) was another nudge in the right direction. :)<br><br>Cindy<br><br><br><br><br>________________________________ Sorry I missed this earlier email!

Today I made a huge decision to give up the rental house and move back to my apartment. Financially more responsible and taking stress out of my life as I simplify my life. It's about quality not quantity. Yesterday I risked telling my doctor my feelings about the relationship we have as doctor patient. He's not meeting my needs and I may have to find another doctor even though he's excellent at what he does. He pushes me hard but now he is pushing me too hard and I push myself hard enough. There is a limit we all have. We do our best and then we need to rest in the knowledge that we are trying and we are doing our best. Strive for better and better each day and then let go. We don't live forever. We will all die one day. We don't know when it will be. We could live to 100 or we could die tomorrow. I intend to focus on the quality of my life and not the quantity.

Good question: my weekends are really similar to my weekdays--I have clients on Saturdays 'n' such. It's funny, I think a real accomplishment for me has been taking these last few Sundays off--no exercise, not too much technology. I think "recovery" is uber useful. As far as temptations--do you mean food? Luckily, I'm not restricting too much, just writing it down (which does restrict the Krispy Kreme or the walk by See's candy the other day--passed them by because they weren't worth the self-flagellation that would ensue after). Tonight: I'm taking some kind of luscious dessert to a dinner party and you betcha, I'm gonna have some!

Maybe on a Mon-Weds or Fri, we can do our walks together? I can always do two;) I really appreciate the eyes. Right on, Diane–thank you for kicking it up a notch.
