I’ve struggled this year with my health issues and am finding myself facing even bigger health challenges going forward. It has become vital for my spinal health that I strongly correct my posture. A better chair isn’t going to cut it anymore. I need to exercise in a manner that will push my body to hold healthy core strength and good posture. Answer: return to Weight Lifting, and Ballroom!

I found a studio that is at my end of town and is parking friendly for my bigger vehicle. I have taken from this teacher before and while this is not my favorite teacher, I don’t care. I need to dance.

I love waltz, tango, foxtrot, quickstep and viennese. I got out of doing them because I wanted to dance with my husband, but I can see, a decade into marriage, that I am not going to get him to dance. So I am going to go to classes twice a week and dance. Goal, work up to dancing both classes each night for two hours of ballroom twice a week.

I’m also determined to return to lifting weights. At my age, I think no more often than twice a week. My body takes longer to rebuild after a hard session of weights than it did when I was younger.

Lastly, I need to find someone to meet at the park and play Ingress and to walk. I think I shall email prospective walkers today.

Dear Lord, please help me to resist any food not on my diet. Please help me to make exercise a habit I keep always. Please grant me success in improving core strength and posture. Thank you for the opportunity to make these improvements.  +Amen.
