New Exercises are - Potent!

Filed under: At My Place... — Ruth @ 12:09 pm

I’ve long been needing an exercise program tailored to my specific needs. I won’t go into all that just now, but I’ve been reading a book in the last week or so about anti-gravity-pull exercises. They looked easy enough, and were recommended to do before bedtime so that the limbered up spine and joints can rest in their newly relaxed state. I’ve tried them two nights now, and have noticed some interesting effects.

Yesterday morning I woke up bright and chipper, ready to take on my day at a run. Hey, I’d even lost 2 lbs when I weighed myself after my shower!

But this last night they changed my sleep patterns so much, that, although I heard my alarm, I found myself thinking, “Oh, jus-a sec-or two, I’m not quite a-wake…” and I dozed off. I even heard the alarm announce the time an hour later. But I stayed cosy under my blankets. Another twenty minutes later, I suddenly had a feeling that I’d overslept, and got up in a hurry!

Another effect is that the inner wall of my right nostril is rather thin and all that blood rushing to my head has given me a slow-drip nose bleed. Mostly it dries as a scab, plugging that nostril, yet when I clean that out, the drips start up again. In fact, my head feels like it has more blood than usual.

What do you think? Am I plunging into exercises a bit too fast? Maybe, instead of the whole half hour workout, I should just do two or three, and slowly add more? Obviously exercises are potent stuff!

I should add regarding the garden; Dad has started to harvest completely various vegetables. I’ve taken some photos, but will put off that photo story to tell you another one in Ruthe’s Roses, that is more front-and-center to me today.
