I've been up since 2 in the morning unknowingly contemplating what's going on. Over the recent years of my life I've noticed changes that happened gradually. Couple years ago I noticed that my feet look like they had Age 5 years plus overtime. WTH! š¦¶š¾All dry and wrinkled. When I lie down, sometimes my legs feel cold for no reason. If I have to get up for the bathroom in the middle of the night, I notice my heart'sš« racing just because I got up. I'd think, maybe I just got up too fast. Well tonight, it really dawned on me.
Truth is I live in a pretty comfortable life where God has blessed me. 10 years ago around this time I was working hard labor jobs for almost nothing. Now I have the chance to work from home as a writer and be the housewife I always dreamed of but never thought I'd be. I guess for every good thing there's a consequence, and this is mine. I'm essentially destroying my body by trying to preserve it. So I don't know what the heck I'm going to do but I must have something ASAP.
We have been blessed with our first homeš”. It's modernized and just adorable. Only thing is that it is quite small. Not too much room for anything else besides the essentials. Where in the world am I supposed to add exercise equipment? The basement / man cave? The love of my life can call it whatever she wants. It's still a basement and that's where the creepies š·ļøšøļø live. I can't imagine myself in his own sweating my ass off enjoying the good work out and then all of a sudden to see a spider just web his disgusting ass dangling right in front of my face . This is not going to work! I'd rather be outside, and we live in the hood! Scratch that I'm petrified about that as well. Just about a month ago, I volunteered to take the trash out early in the morning, on my way so the back I began to pick up articles of trash from the property as well. Tell me why I heard five or six gunshots maybe two blocks away. At 7 in the morning? Really? What a tangled web we weave! I have been thinking about buying a cruiser bicycle to ride around the neighborhood.
I'm thinking that the best bet that I can do. I'm not the type to do weight lifting because I don't know what I'm doing. Dancing is something that I do seldom nowadays. But the idea of riding a bicycle everyday just sounds and feels absolutely delicious to my spirit. I used to love to dance! I used to stay in shape with dancing back in my 20s. Nowadays, if I danced too much I'm petrified I'm going to have some type of attack. I keep telling my doctor this but I think she believes that I'm using it as a scapegoat to be lazy. But I'm truly not , I really am scared.
Maybe after I start to lose some weight and gain some stamina, maybe my heart well let me feel confident enough to bust another latin move. You know what? I ain't s***. I didn't even write about my stupid smoking habit. I guess there's really nothing to say because it speaks for itself. Obviously I need to quit. How? Only God knows. But I have to f****** do it ASAP.
