WOW, it has been over a year since I have written anything on my blog! A lot has happened in the past year, but more so in the last few months. Rather than go over the details of the past, I am going to write about the events of today.
I am sitting in my husband's parent's family room watching my 86 year old Father-in-law fade away. He has had a good life, raised nine beautiful children and has a lovely wife of 60+ years.
As we wait for him to pass, life goes on for the rest of us but in a different way. I answer emails and texts, post on Facebook, communicate with clients, little things that I can manage while tending to the patient and family. Working out has not been a priority this past week but I did manage to squeeze in a short run yesterday. My eating habits, well I am trying to eat healthy and for the most part I do. I am watching my fellow Crossfiters blog about their meals. I am not nearly as disciplined as they are. I had coffee, 2 eggs and Ezekiel toast with a drizzle of honey for breakfast, a few peanut butter pretzels and half a ham sandwich for lunch, and will probably have left over chili for dinner. Not much snacking in between. Perhaps I could do without the wine that I drink in the evening to help me “chill”, but now may not be the time to stop that ritual. LOL
I should mention that I am coming off an injury, partial tear of my hamstring, and am anxious to get back to tennis and be in full workout mode. In the meantime, the coaches at Urban Warfit Crossfit have been so helpful in scaling the WODS for me. A positive: I am getting better performing pull ups! I will be doing my hamstring strengthening exercises today and go for a long walk, Lord willing.
Thankfully, Real Estate has slowed down for me this month. I had two closings in December which is not too common during the holidays. I have a few good prospects in the near future who are taking advantage of the still relatively low prices and interest rates. It has been a blessing that my work has temporarily decreased as I have been able to be available for family.
And do I dare talk about the fact that Chris and I are going to be empty nesters soon? That will be another blog.
Getting back on the balance beam!
