Since July 2019 I have been working on myself; trying to stay positive even when it’s hard, eating healthier and working out. Since January of 2020 I started participating in Herbalife challenges, I started Mantra Mondays, Wellness Wednesdays, my blood pressure has gone down, I have lost some inches and 30 pounds. Recently I feel as if I have reached a plateau and have started to gain weight again. The fluctuation of 5 pounds could be water weight or I could also be building muscle, it could be that Totinos pizza I ate on Friday…Whatever it is, it’s making me angry and it’s difficult to stay positive about this and I need to step up my game. If I am not working with my trainer my workout routine pretty much consists of me taking walks around my apartment complex. If I am not walking Penny I will venture outside of the complex to hike the nearby trails. Perhaps you’re wondering why I don’t just take Penny with me outside the gates of Northland at the Arboretum which is a very valid inquiry so let me fill you in. Penny has one of those leashes that extends, you can lock the leash to prevent it from extending and it has a heavy hard handle. Twice now I have lost my grip on the heavy handle causing it to come crashing down on the paved road. Which startles Penny and she FREAKS OUT, starts running from the heavy handle that is now chasing her which causes her to run away from me and my panicked screams of “PENNY, PENNY, PENNY!” I am scared this will happen outside the gates and she will run into the street and get hit by a car all in front of my eyes. I rolled my ankle one of the times I was stumbling after her and the leash so naturally I sat in the street and cried a bit while trying to hoble to her aid. I then limped home with tears running down my face at this point hoping to God no one saw that particular performance of mine. On my walks I will of course see the regular apartment residents walking their dogs before and after work, the kids that hang out after the school bus drops them off and occasionally I will see Linda. I met Linda on one of my walks, she lives here too. She is an older lady, I am assuming in her 70s, she is shorter than me if you can imagine and walks with a pink cane of roses. She stopped Penny and I once because Penny reminds her of her Pierre. Pierre was her dog and best friend who passed away years ago but she still misses him. Linda and Pierre would go on walks daily but when he passed away she said she stopped taking walks. She sat on her couch mourning him for months and developed arthritis. She has told me this story twice now but I just listen, no need to correct or remind her. Today I saw Linda out of the corner of my eye but she was pretty much behind me at the point that I noticed her and I wasn’t feeling very social so I acted as if I did not see her. The fact that I might not have seen her was totally plausible and I moved on with my life. Later however I saw her again, I was headed right towards her and I wasn’t going to pretend this time, it was time to talk. I paused my ears buds to greet her for a chat. We caught up a bit and when she was asking me how far I think I walk she very politely called me out for ignoring her earlier. She said something like
“I see you don’t leave a stone unturned when you walk. You’re walking every inch of this complex, you’re all over the place. Like when you saw me in the front earlier.”

If buy viagra cheap you need to take this drug around one prior hour expected sex.

Thus viagra tablets uk the effectiveness and safety of both medications will remain the same. I panicked, ignored her comment because dang Linda you’re just going to call me out!? And I lied to her. I told her I walk 3 miles (at least 3 times a week) which is three extended loops around the complex. After realising I lied to her, I of course wanted to take it back but at the end of the day I don’t owe Linda anything, not even the truth apparently…lliiifffeee. We ended our chat with the fact that Linda is so proud of me and my three miles. Currently I do close to three miles but it’s not three miles. As I walked away from her I felt guilty for lying to this ole girl and then it hit me. Instead of feeling guilty for lying and instead of writing her some sort of apology card about it, I should just step my game up and walk three miles. Linda inspired me.
And she also inspired my Monday Mantra; Be inspired by others.
