closet stuff
I didn’t make it to the gym today – 5 am was just too early, and while I could have gone at 4:30 pm, I just didn’t. What I did do is continue with the master closet challenge and got the portable closet rack assembled in the basement and moved all the gowns and keepsake items out of my closet and into the basement closet. Then, I pulled out all the shoes and vacuumed and put them all away again. And then, I moved most of the rest of the craft stuff to the basement closet. And finally, I pulled all the wedding gifts out and moved my special stuffies over and organized the bags I am keeping.
Getting closer! Tomorrow, if I have time, I will go through my clothes again. I just did that a few months ago, but I feel like there’s a few items that could still go.
The best part about the challenge is that I found some closet treasures… One is a sketch my grandma did of me when I was little and the other was my pointe shoes. Yes, I tried them on. No, they don’t really fit and I think I injured my foot. But, this prompted me to look into one of my dreams and 2015 resolutions about taking ballet again and I emailed a local ballet studio an inquiry. Hey, if what’s her name can do it, why can’t I?
Oh, and since I am decluttering my magazine stash, I have been speed reading some of them first…I read that yoga will help decrease and or prevent the dreaded dowager’s hump!!! Yes!!! I am definitely maintaining my Thursday PiYo practice and may try to incorporate even more yoga into my regimen. I do not want a dowager’s hump*.
*This runs in my family. A dowager’s hump is an exaggerated rounding in the thoracic spine. For more information, see Medicine Net; WikiPedia; Mayo Clinic. For treatment, see, “LiveStrong – Exercises that Correct; osteopenia
This reminds me… I think I have a really talented personal trainer. She is certified in some thing that assess posture problems by taking a look at profile pictures and then she recommends exercise. Well, sure enough, the exercises she gave me are the same ones I paid a lot of money to be prescribed to me by physical therapists. I guess I need to do these things. Arg.
