So let's set some goals for the next week. The above stretch is one of my favorites. It stretches all the big muscles and isn't nearly as uncomfortable as it looks. Though I suggest you go slowly at first and look up different variations of the pigeon pose to find the modification that is best for you.
I will work 6 days out of 7 this week (getting old for this crap) doesn't leave me a lot of time but I am in the push towards retirement. It been pretty hot in Cali this past week so my husband hooked up the patio misters and we got our fountain running which adds a certain peaceful tranquility to the back yard. Will fire up the BBQ later and cook some tri-tip and roasted veggies.
We are in the process of xero-scaping the front yard to reduce water usage and it's starting to look pretty nice. Hoping it will cool down enough to start walking in the evenings. So since this is my long work week I am setting my step goals at 3500 per day. Also have a goal to keep my blood sugar below 200. It always seems to go up after my evening meal even with the insulin, glipizide and metformin. My Dr. believes this is stress mediated and that I should relax more (Ha. Ha, Ha)
So how about it what are your goals?
Feel free to post recipe's, exercise tips and meditations. Please remember to play nice as people will have different ideas about diet, exercise lifestyle etc... It's OK to debate the various merits/problems with each as long as we are respectful to each other.
Since it appears to be a major source of stress please let's stay away from politics. I will redirect political discussions to the Politics group.
