I've had a problem with funk lately.  No umph in my step.  A few people have suggested working out.  It has mega benifits...gets the mood up, and the body healthier.  Sunday I push mowed the home yard...we have about an acre.  It takes me 3 hours to push it all.  Yesterday I pushed the yard at dh's office in Bburg.  Then when I got home I was thinking about all the suggestions, so I jumped on the bike and did a few miles.  When my son got home from school, and got his homework done, we took a nice walk.  Today, this morning, was a gold medal ceremony for my sons school.  It's part of a reading program they do.  Anyway, I got a medal too.  DH took our picture together, and as most girls know we don't like our picture.  When I looked at that picture I about cried.  Started to feel down on myself yet again.  After we got home I decided that only I HAVE THE POWER to change that.  So I got my behind back on that bike and did a few more miles.  I WILL get on this bike, go walking, pop in an exercise video..every day this week.  I WILL change my opinion of me.  It's all part of something that goes waaaaay back.  I've never had very good self esteem, even on a good day.  Anyway, those that gave me the advice to do some exercise to help with the funk, it's helping...and can only get better the more I do.   Next up for me today is to take a nice long shower, get myself freshened up..then get some work done around here.  I am picking my son up from school today so he can go with me to vote, and see what it's like.  Have a great rest of your week!!!
