WHAT'S GOING ON?

 Something seems to have clicked in place... and I'm on a roll.

I've decided to have another 'Mall Walk' this morning.

This exercise buzz is great.  Even walking on my own isn't bothering me any more.  I love being in the mall... all those lovely shops!  LOL.

NOT that I'm shopping, but hey, close enough.

And if I need anything from the supermarket, there's one right in the mall.  HANDY.

So that's where I will be this morning.  Then I'll come home and work on that Nautical Panel.

Doing exercise in the morning is GREAT... it's a good way to start the day, and it kills most of the morning.  I hope I keep it up.  

Totally up to me of course.  I've been here before, but I think it's more important to look out for my health, now that I'm that much older.

You have to stop taking your health for granted eh?

OH and I've just remembered that I'm due for my next quarterly HbA1c blood test.  I might do that today too.

I am keen to see if my number has gone down significantly again?  I  hope I've had another decent drop, though it won't be as HUGE as my last one I'm sure.  (But only because it was MASSIVELY HIGH last year) 

11 am:  And I just got home.  And dammit!

I forgot to do the blood test while I was out, so I'll do that after lunch now.

By the time I got outta bed I really didn't feel like walking, I was tired!

But I went.

ABOVE: Because the weather was very overcast and coolish, I decided to walk around the perimeter of the mall a couple of times.  That was lovely, even though it stared to rain half way around.  

I got a bit wet, so then I went and did one full lap of the top and bottom of the interior of the mall too.

ABOVE: It wasn't as long of a walk today, but still enough to feel like I'd done something.

Any exercise is good.

I use MAP MY RUN to record my walks, cos I like to see the word RUN.... cos I never run!  lol

ABOVE: The 'exterior loop' of Chartwell Square.

I did a small grocery grab while in the mall.  Mostly some fresh and frozen veges.

When I got home I put together a Chicken and Vege bake, and it's now in the oven.  Lunch is sorted.

I'm trying to change up what I've been having for my lunch.  Trying to incorporate more veges.

I wanted to buy a cauliflower this morning, but there were really small and $8 each.  I was like hell no!

Stew still buys fresh cauliflower, I bought frozen.  I'm sure it will be just as good, and at $3.50 much cheaper.

LYNNEY62: Thank you!  I am feeling so much better.  The past 2+ years have been rough because of family issues, and the death of my Mum, but I'm coming out the other side of all that stress now.

Deciding to NOT let other people's issues upset me has been a game changer.  

De-stressing my life, and eliminating certain people from my life has been the best thing ever.

ABOVE:  Done.  And that was by far the worse blood test I've had in years.  It stung like hell, I felt sick and dizzy and even now, 20 minutes later, my arm is still stinging.

NOT NICE.

But hopefully worth it when the results are in.

Which probably won't be until at least Monday now.

10.10 pm:  me arm feels ok now, thank goodness.

Had some left overs for dinner.  Stew enjoyed his serving of Chicken and Vege bake, it was a great success.

Time to sign off for the day, so I'll catch ya tomorrow.
