10-Day Writing Challenge - Day 1



I have agreed to participate in the 10-Day 5-Min writing challenge.  This challenge is sponsored by Kate Motaung and all the info you need to join in can be found HERE! She gives a topic for each day and you spend 5 minutes writing about whatever comes to mind on that subject.  I am actually starting a day late, but who's counting, right.

So, I'm setting my clock and here goes.

The topic today is

TODAY!

After a very restless and short night of sleep, Dick and got up before the alarm went off and headed to the gym by 5:45 a.m.  This is not at all a natural time for my body to awaken, so it is never a surprise that I must drag myself out of bed if I am going to make it.

I meet three and sometimes four other women on Monday's, Wednesday's and Friday's to walk around the indoor track for at least 30 minutes.  This adds up to almost two miles and a lot of conversation.

After that I usually do three miles on a stationary bike before doing some of the strengthening machines.  Most days I then do some Pilates stretches and core exercises before heading home.  Dick will remain and finish his routine and showers and dresses there.

On the other two days of the week, I do various machines and weights as well as the elliptical before going downstairs where I do more core and specific exercises.  Since my hand surgery, I am also continuing some of the therapy exercises to keep the range of motion and strength in that right hand.

On this particular Tuesday, I am still battling a sinus infection but taking meds that hopefully will put an end to this hacking and snorting real soon.  The rest of my day will be spent doing some bookkeeping homework and possibly even some work on my Ancestry.com.

Cream of Broccoli soup is on the menu for tonight. 

And that is the end of my five minutes and an introduction to how I began my day TODAY.

  2. Well, that was fun and I'm so impressed with you and Dick's workout routine. Guess you have never figured out the deal with the margins of your blog. So aggravating I know.

  4. Ever since my husband got me divorced for the past 2 years, i v'e not been my self. I was reviewing some post of how i could get back my husband then, i saw a testimony shared by Marina Choas from SWEDEN about a spell caster named Dr. tunde. I contacted Marina Chaos to confirm about how Dr. tunde helped her and she clarified everything to me of how he helped her and that gave me the courage to get in touch with Dr. tunde for help. Dr. tunde assured me that my days of sorrows will be over within 48hours after he has finished with his work. I followed his instructions he gave to me because i had the believe, faith, hope and trust in him. Verily i say to you today that i and my husband are back together and i can proudly say and testify to the world of what Dr. tunde did for me. Contact him today via E-mail:(babatundesolutioncentre1@gmail.com) OR call him or whatsapp him +2348143581382 if you seek his help.
