KG showing her real and true personality!
As with everything else in my life, as everyone is getting out of blogging, I may just be starting. Couldn't do it in its heyday due to the needs and demands of small children - now that they have grown more independent, I have missed the blog bandwagon, yet, here I am, writing stuff and as the title says: "Living the life of Reilly!"
We are enjoying a beautiful fall with warm temperatures that seem as though summer does not want to leave. I'm kind of ready for a change in season ... ready for chili, soup, and slightly warmer clothes (maybe because I have "grown out of " my summer clothes?)
I had a great summer marked by sloth and laziness (great things they are!) but no good for my figure. The ice cream every night also did not help. But so enjoyable, and life is really too short.
But here I am on the verge of my 40th birthday and feeling quite out of touch with my body and its ability to move me through the rest of my life. I have had a couple of experiences in the past 2 weeks that have really brought this to the forefront of my thoughts ...
1) I pulled a muscle in my lower back that incapacitated me for an afternoon and some of the next day
2) such pulled muscle sent me to the physiotherapist which I have discovered is BETTER than an afternoon at the spa (shocking, I know) and
3) I started swimming lengths again after at least a 10 year break and used my muscles to pull me through the water -- what a wonderful feeling!
(by the way I did 1 km in the pool and still had time to read before I had to pick children up from school -- ah, life is good). I am looking forward to more exercise that I love (I will not run - as good as it is for my body, I hate it - so no point), and now know that physio is an hour of pure sanity to deal with sore muscles (thankfully mine were none too injured).
