OK, so ALL 12 pieces of the workbench are now in the back room. The pantry cupboard pieces are unpacked and sorted so that when I get my act together (tomorrow, Saturday at the latest), it SHOULD be an easy assembly. I know, famous last words. :)
I actually got it together to do my 1 mile walking tape this afternoon...with my new workout shoes. I found some workout shoes that are *ergonomically correct*... The heel is slightly lowered (like the old earth shoes), and by pushing the pelvis slightly forward, lengthens the spine and gets it into good alignment for tightening the abs and strengthening the back. The soles are also weighted, providing the benefits of walking with weights, without the same issues of ankle/knee injuries that ankle weights have...in part because the weight is even placed throughout the sole, and also because the shoes give ankle support and are supposed to be all about putting your feet into proper alignment. Each foot weighs approximately 3 extra pounds. Since it had been a few days since I'd worked out, I decided to go back and do the one mile walk...I didn't have ANY problems with my shins, knees or ankles while doing the one mile tape. I also didn't have any problem keeping up the pace and even with the additional weight I wasn't winded. I also did my stretches. YAY me!
I'm going to be winding down very soon. I think I'll go load the dishwasher, drink some water, fold some clothes and then take my melatonin and go to bed. Sleep sweet.
