on being clear

lately i have been really noticing things going on within my body. i mean, i have always been aware, but i have started to REALLY listen and as such i am experimenting....soon i will turn 47, and when i was at the docs office getting my scrips for the trip, she asked me how i am doing and i said that things are great, no aches or pains..everything seems normal. Everything.

then about 3 weeks later i started noticing little things. like on my right hand, my pointer finger has this little pain in the first joint...who knows...maybe arthritis setting in? who knows...but then when i was painting last weekend, every time i had to squat down to paint the trim...OMG, my knees hurt like he$$ every time i stood back up..i mean hurt like red hot pokers were going through them...

so, i decided it was time to experiment...less running, more yoga for starters. so instead of running 25 to 30 miles per week i have cut down to 15 miles per week with 3 to 4 days of yoga. so far, so good....then i noticed that my mid section seems a bit puffy..or fluffy?! hmmmm, me no like that either...

so it has been a week with no red wine at dinner..my puffy/fluffyness has shrunk down..(oh, except for the dreaded pre-menstral thang) but i do feel much better and lighter. so i am going to keep on keeping on with this little test of mine and see how and what changes..

my finger by the way still hurts like he$$! ;0)
