Loving That Morning Stretch

The saga continues...
I can feel the changes but they are slow in coming.
This morning I woke up stiff and sore from the previous days' exercise and evening wine binge.
I don't usually drink but my boyfriend and I decided to buy some wine and watch a movie about 80 year olds singing rock music. We thought it would be hilariously funny but it turned out to be very touching and poignant (sniff).

Oddly, I was not hungover and had a good amount of energy and felt pretty good in my body.
I'd walked a mile in the woods and worked on my core strengthening the day before.
I decided to do some yoga postures and some stretching for about half and hour.
My body responded well. I was loose and noticeably energized. Freakin' fantastic!

I'm going to share a little secret with you...
Call me crazy but I'm still eating some things that make my joints stiff. Inflamation is one of the symptoms I'm dealing with and I need to change my ways. I'll keep you posted because I still long for the occasional wrap, a little cheese, a little dairy etc.

So the question becomes: "Do you want to eat grilled cheese or have mobility?" I'll get back to you on that. I'm thinking.

Another secret...My dream is to be able to run and or race walk.
Tired now. Feeling peaceful and tuckered out. Gonna go to sleep.

'Til then,
