I have once again missed a few days of updating my blog. Not a lot happened to report. Friday there was no yoga as it was canceled due to my teacher being sore. The weekend brought with it a migraine that hung around. Thankfully it was not as intense as some I have had but none the less I had a migraine. I am thankful to report that April brought few migraines or headaches. In fact the last I can recall was end of March or early April.
I am in the healing stage, coming to terms with what is. It sucks but it's part of life and my grandmother lives on daily in memory and in my heart. Each time I see Canadian Geese I am reminded of her. She enjoyed watching them from the hospital in her final months.
I am still seeing 7:11 constantly and have no clue why. Additionally I am not seeing 6:11, 9:11...and so forth. Messages from the universe but of what I am not sure. Hopefully the answer comes.
The weekend brought a lot of lacrosse, family dinner shared with my parents, sister, her husband and my two wonderful nieces. I adore them. Sadly they leave today back to Slave Lake. The weekend also brought nice weather although windy allowing for spring yard work to get done. Power raked, tidied...the yard is ready for some top soil, more grass seed and fertilizer...then in May sometime we can put in the flowerbeds and plant! I am so excited.
I had fun with my girls and we made dog and cat treats. It was fun bonding and gave the girls a fantastic idea which I will report on later if it takes off. The pupcakes they made were a huge hit and very tasty even for us non-furred folks. As for the cat treats...our cat is a prissy fussy little lady and stuck her nose high and turned her tail to them. The dogs on the other hand were happy to try a bite and loved the cat treats too which contained wild salmon.
April was a whirlwind of ups and downs. A roller coaster really of life. Looking back it was a month where I really took control and managed to make it through a challenge that only became harder with the loss of my grandmother and fighting my way through saddness to complete it. The time of 5:15-6:15am is challenge enough, but doing it all month minus a few days is something I am proud of. Especially when my husband bet that I wouldn't make it more than a few days. Pat on the back. Tomorrow completes the challenge and I will report measurements. Weight I can say has not changed but I'm sure there's been movement of measurements as clothing fits better. Over all yoga has brought me flexibility, strength, over all better feeling physically. I have had less migraines and headaches which I am not sure is linked to yoga but perhaps? My skin looks fresh. I recommend yoga! I will continue I'm sure. Like I said early in my blog, if I can be up at such insane hours for yoga I can do anything. This challenge was a real kick off for what is to come. I can do anything I put my mind to.
While I didn't finish my weight watchers 1/2 month challenge I did continue with healthy home cooked meals, and was more aware of what I was eating. As mentioned my weight has not really moved, but that said muscle weighs more than fat and if my body has leaned out at all and developed strength I have to think the fat has converted to muscle. Nothing happens over night and this blog is here for me to look back at to see how over time and with focus and positivity things do happen. I can see what works, what I enjoy and share with others my life journey.
A good quote to live by is the one above. If you don't take a step and try you'll never know what you miss. Take a shot...I'm looking forward to growing through the challenges and life experiences I will do each day, each month and through the years.
April also brought a reminder to seriously cherish and love those near and dear and spend time with them. I was able to enjoy more time with family all around, as well as family and cousins I haven't seen in years. It was great to see everyone and I am happy I was able to reconnect even given under the circumstances. My girls learned life lessons this month and I am proud of how they have treated one another and thought of family near and far during this time. I am raising loving girls who are completely amazing.
Tomorrow will bring the big report for April and I will touch base on May's challenge. YAY!
Today My Name Is...Progression
