December 24th – 28th
Look at me. I have already (somewhat) lost count of the days. It is kind of hard to believe it has already been nine days since Bill left to go back over there. I think doing a weekly wrap-up instead of a daily breakdown is going to be better for this blog. I mean the good thing about this blog is it is my blog, and I have the freedom to adjust it however I want.
There hasn’t been anything super significant that has happened over the last several days. I have been working really hard at getting into a groove with a routine that makes the time easier on me. I didn’t do anything for Christmas. I had intentions to watch my favorite Christmas movie, Love Actually, but I wasn’t ever really in the mood for it. That made me a little bit sad because I watch it every year and have for probably ten years. I still have time to watch it before the holiday season is over and I think I might watch it this weekend. It is such a great movie.
I am working on getting back into running, and today was day 3 of this program I started. I have done this program before and seen good results, so I am hopeful I will experience the same this time. I am very impatient though and want immediate results. I want to, RIGHT NOW, be able to run like I did 18 – 24 months ago. That isn’t realistic, so I am trying my best to just accept where I am and work towards where I want to be. What else can I do! I have also been doing the Peloton at least every other day, and next week I am starting a strength training program. Working out is the one thing that really makes me feel good & makes the time go by faster.
I miss Bill, obviously. There are times where I get really, really sad and lonely but those times don’t last long. Staying active and busy is so important.

Routine! That is all I’ve been thinking of the last couple of days. I’m taking advantage of my days off and I know I will need to shift my routine come Tuesday when school starts back up. So I’m going to go make a plan on what that routine needs to look like. I signed up for the Winter Solstice Distance Challenge again and am thinking of doing a couple of January challenges to keep myself motivated. You are SO right that staying active is super important. It sounds like you are on a good tract towards recovery. Keep going!

Thank you! I was going to sign up for the WSDC but went on to do it too late & it was full. I am so disappointed after doing it for 2020 & 2021. You are doing so great & I am so proud of you!
