We drove into Castle Rock to grab a few things … and along the way, revisited the Arkansas Creek area - I like this short drive:
Walking the grocery aisles & enjoying the drive was fun; the fallout that followed was not. This entire region is his family stomping grounds, and everything connected to it (alcohol-drug-sex fueled memories, places that hold sad memories, people connected to those memories, ect.), just seems to bring the devil out in him - and he will work the bitch button until he gets the response he's aiming for.
WA State - especially this section of it, is not good for him.
But, I didn't let the Redmill devils rattle my cage. I just distanced myself.
WA State - especially this section of it, is not good for me: it's not good for US.
After getting back home and stashing the things bought …

… we both went our separate ways for the rest of the Day.
He's going to keep acting out the entire time we are in WA - and I'm going to ignore the tirades and keep working on self care: I've come too far in the rebuilding of my life to allow the self-destructive redmill bullshit, to make damaging in-roads, that will move progress backwards.
I'm going to move forward, thanking Elohim for what's He's done for me so far - and what He will continue doing for me, today & tomorrow. There is always something to be thankful: I am thankful the Day started out good. I am thankful for the drive I enjoyed earlier. I am thankful for the items we purchased. I am thankful that no matter how stormy Life gets … I am still breathing, and I know Elohim has a purposeful Plan for my Life.
The best way for me to deal with the stormy weather is to work it out … thankfully, I enjoy working out.
To get substantial health benefits, older adults need three types of activity each week: aerobic, muscle strengthening/toning, and balance activities. Doing activities of all three types is important for improving physical function and decreasing the risk of falls or injury from a fall. Adults 65 and older need at least 150 minutes of physical activity weekly, including activity to strengthen muscles and improve balance = 21 minutes, x7 days or 30 minutes, x5 days.
With all the walking I did today, I hit the “sweet spot” in regards to my daily steps = 8,780 steps, today (Holland did at least 2,000 of those with me, before the Day got twisted out of shape).
The Darebee “Strong & Beautiful” workout is an upper-body strength and tone routine using dumbbells, designed to build power, control, and muscle definition, & can enhance muscle tone, bone density, and balance. Seniors should begin with fewer sets & reps, then increase them gradually if safe to do so. For older adults, starting with lighter weights (1- to 5- lb.) dumbbells; and focusing on perfect form & controlled movements, is safer - this reduces strain on tendons, ligaments, and joints. Darebee’s programs are designed for progression, but older adults may need to slow the pace and reduce intensity to match recovery needs. Monitor symptoms: Stop if you feel sharp pain, dizziness, or shortness of breath.
The Cardio Mini Cycle exerciser is generally safe for a 69 year old woman: and can be effective for cardiovascular health, joint mobility, and lower-body strength; and to gain at least 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week. Start with short, low-intensity sessions of 5-10 minutes and gradually increase the duration as your endurance improves. You can split the total daily time into several shorter sessions, such as three 5-minute sessions or two 10-minute sessions. Focus on consistency: the key is to keep those joints and muscles moving regularly without overdoing it. Always listen to your body … stop if you feel unusual pain, dizziness, or excessive fatigue.
When I went on FB to check out my Friend's Pages, a FB pop up's message, had perfect timing … the Day started well and ended sideways - but, by the grace of Elohim, I'm still golden 😉 Thank GOD for sustaining Faith!
We are going to be here until December - and possibly longer if Holland gets side-tracked with the nonsense and doesn't do what we came here to do. The months spent here will be like a trip to Hell. MPO I am going to need all the help I can favor from Elohim, the healing grace of Yeshua, and the discerning wisdom of the Ruach HaKo'desh to weather the incoming storms & stay golden - it won't matter what the season it is, the storms will blow through. It's the Redmill Way.
