ON SCEDULE


I’m losing weight, but gaining muscle – so the scales rarely waver from what they read. My face tells me that I’ve lost weight. My clothing tells me that I am losing weight; but hiking and exercises is toning me and smoothing things out … and the scales rarely wavers.

And that’s okay: I’m pretty much where I should be for a woman 5’3” and soon to be 64 years old. Admittedly, I’m on the upper end of where I should be; but that’s okay – I don’t care for the emancipated look. The emancipated look wouldn’t work with my body type anyway – I’m a curvy gal: I have breasts, I have hips. I'm never gonna look like those starved girls in the videos; and I don't want to. I just want to build upper and lower body strength again, so I can enjoy the life I have, doing what I like to do 😉

I’m happy with the way things are going. I’m right on schedule with building upper body strength, and stronger leg muscles for hiking endurance. My routine is to alternate hikes with dumbbell exercises. This morning I followed a dumbbell exercise workout that included cardio workout – in this, seniors need to be wise and discern what their own bodies are capable of; especially if you are living alone, like I am. My heart is fine … so I can do cardio workouts at this particular time in my life, and not stress my heart into a heart attack: but, I use common sense; I realize that in 4 months time, I will be 64, not 24 … there are some things I cannot do at 64 – that I could do at 24. For example, in the following video, there are exercises done on an exercise mat that I cannot do: so, I improvise. I can’t put weight on my knees, so I do pushups by placing my hands on a countertop, stretching my legs back as far as they will go on the floor behind me, on the tips of my toes; I do my ‘plank crunches’ that way. Trust me, you WILL FEEL IT; the results may manifest a little slower, but it works.

So, that’s what I did today to tone my body, and I’m liking the way my body is strengthening:

Building arm muscle with dumbbells; a few more months, and the underarm will be toned too. I'm going for softly sculptured arms, not a body builder's type.
Sorry about the jerkiness, but it's hard to record the back of one's self with a shot arm reach: building leg muscle with hikes and exercises.
Hikes and exercises pay off good. Shapely legs, & cellulite disappearing with hikes and exercises.

Then, I had to go into town a little later on.

While I was in town at my appointment, I had to wait a few minutes, so I checked my phone’s newsfeed, and read that Hurricane Laura has morphed into a very dangerous situation very quickly catching scientists by surprise: there seems to be an underling theme here – scientists can’t get a handle on coronavirus-19 either, despite all the demoncrat hysteria and insistence on ‘scientific data’. Hurricane Laura is not behaving any better than covid; both are killers that can’t be controlled.

MPO is that Elohim is tired of everything that is going on in America with the blatant murder of babies, the rebellious racial unrest applauded and encouraged by the demoncrats, and the total godlessness across the board, and He will not be mocked by obama, pelosi, biden, harris – or the rest of the godless minions that openly worship barak hussain obama and embrace/preach his evil political agenda.

What America is going through, is right on schedule in the grand scheme of things – and it could all be avoided if people really wanted to get serious about living/enjoying life, instead of the wicked mayhem and wholesale killings taking place in obama’s ‘new america’ …

In town for an appointment and heard about Hurricane Laura.


Following my appointment, I picked up some groceries (I didn’t really need groceries, but I bought things I will need for the next 6 months if inslee keeps things shutdown; don’t wanna be caught short again with necessities); and some Fall flowers to repot and set on the porch steps when I put the geraniums away for the Winter. If I repot them now, they will be established and bushed out right on schedule for a colorful Fall display:

Colorful Fall Mums for the front porch – they will be repotted.
Soil and new pots for the Fall Mums.

The sunset was colorful too …
