The United States of America’s First Amendment  passed in 1789, protects my freedom of speech. If you don’t agree with something I wrote, keep in mind, this is my life, my story. Thank you.

While August is advancing steadily towards September with huge cloud formations in the sky above us, my cats and I have distinctly different ideas what to do with some spare time. While our four boys with Cookie on the chair next to them relaxed in a ray of sunlight …

(From door Whispers, Doodles, Charlie, Rusty on floor; Cookie on chair)
(Goodness, Charlie, you need to be brushed!)

 

… I was running around in order to make time for a chest and triceps routine in our backyard. Lit up with excitement,  I was about to christen my brand new bench press that my husband put a lot of thought and time into. Believe me, there was a lot of measuring and discussing and deciding. Between he and I, this is what was created:

 

Light to carry and very functional, I now own my very own bench press. Oh how grateful I am to my genius husband for I no longer even have to think about going to an insane asylum aka the gym. God bless you, my husband. I am so so grateful to you!

After being closed for 5 months, our King on the Throne decreed that those who go to the gym when they open next week must wear a mask. Those of you who are serious in a gym, can you imagine a power lifter, for example, wearing a mask? This is a preposterous and very dangerous “order” which will, no doubt, lead to illness, accidents and deaths. It’s very evident this man never stepped a foot into a gym much less worked out. There is no way I or anyone else can work out with a mask on! Thanks to Hubby I don’t have to.

Yesterday I had my very first session on my bench press. OH did it feel like I was right at the gym but even better because my view were the clouds. What gym to you know of has a view like this? Well, maybe if you participate in a beach gym you may have a view like mine.

 

Inhale, push as I exhale, eyes to the sky …… times 15, three reps. Three sets total of three separate different chest exercises. Flat bench press shown here. My feet are in the air to make the exercise more difficult.

FREEDOM is the right to BREATHE! And believe me, that I do well every moment of every day! And those 5 pounds gained, off they go!

What joy it is to be able to work out in my backyard. My gym is almost complete. Two more pair of dumbbells are on their way (one heavier then I have now and one lighter) and I plan to buy a stationary bike. My intention is to be self-sufficient for my exercise program and rely only on me especially in case our King on the Throne changes his mind and closes the gyms again, or this mask-wearing is going to be stretched out until eternity. Neither scenario sets well with me. So I exist in my own little Kingdom of my own making and despite the dysfunctional mess all around I have a very happy heart and home.

And besides, my immune system remains healthy and happy so that when flu season comes around, I stay well!

Love love love that you’ve created your own outdoor exercise kingdom amongst those clouds and without having to wear a ridiculous mask. But what I really love is your strength and conviction. I can feel the serenity, freedom and joy in your words. Go you! You do inspire me so much. Big hugs and lots of love across the ocean. xxx 🙏💪

    1. SMILING!!!! Miriam, I cannot begin to express how relieved I am that I do not have to be involved in the mess that will occur as these gyms reopen. Oh Lord! I will keep working out outdoors as long as I can and then transfer everything to the basement where I have been figuring out how to do what. If people don’t understand the dangerous practice of wearing a mask while exercise, they unfortunately will live to regret it, or perhaps not even live at all. What a horror show! NO for me! Yes I have serenity, and freedom and HEALTH and joy. Yes!! Coming over to you soon. If I told you what my mornings are like you wouldn’t believe me. Many of my cats are older and need special care ….. and I give that care. I’m honored to inspire you, dearest friend. I think of you often. Sending much love over the waters to you!!!

      1. I do feel your hugs my friend, in your words. And I can picture and sense your relief and serenity, I really can. I’m so happy for you and only wish that more people could see the absurdity of wearing a mask whilst exercising. One day perhaps they’ll wake up from their brainwashing. I can only hope. My hub, bless him, is one of those conditioned to feel the need to wear it at all costs. Argh.
        Take your time coming over to me. I know how busy life can get, especially when our precious pets are involved. Thank you again for being there, being a voice of reason and love and well, simply being you! Hugs xxxx 🥰

      2. fyi …. My hubs is like your hubs. Remember what I said in my email? When the collective realize how harmful these masks are, then and only then will the collective be ready to hear the truth. Oh yes there will be individuals who arrive at their own conclusions individually of the collective. In the meantime, I do my “thing” and hubby does his. I will no longer fight on this issue with him. I advise you to let go of your Argh. I get it. I really do. You’re just stressing you out, though. When hubby is ready to let go of his own fear and darkness, (as mine) that is when the light shall shine. No worries. All is good.
        Now off I go and do the rest of my morning “thing”. Good thing I love my babies. LOL And yeah …. simply put, I AM me! Teehee …. Night, Miriam!!! Love you! Sweet dreams!! xoxoxoxoxo

We wouldn’t be taking advantage but doing good. Well, when conditions are seen at the gym, people (the smart ones) will begin to think how to create their own gym at home. And that is where hubby and I will come into play. Huh. Now you’ve got me thinking.

      1. Wearing masks while doing physical exercises is insane! But on the other hand, I am of the opinion that masks are a must if adequate social distancing is not maintained.
        I am one of the few who don’t have the luxury of working from home. So I have to go to my office everyday and closely interact with many. And I was in contact with someone who tested positive for the virus. But by luck, the sheer force of our immune systems and the fact that we were wearing masks and proper hygiene whenever we couldn’t maintain a proper distance, none of us contracted it. But in another offices, it spread like wildfire and many people contracted it before they were forced to shut down the office. Later, we learnt that a meeting had been conducted and that social distancing was not exactly maintained. All the people who attended the meeting tested positive.
        But that being said, wearing masks while physically asserting ourselves is extremely dangerous!

      2. Agreed!! And, this gym is SO huge that when I used to work out there, the machines were at least 6 feet apart. So even before all this began, we were practicing social distancing. If there is anything that is coming from this social distancing it is respect for another’s space. I don’t know about you but I am uncomfortable when someone is too close to me. That’s how I’ve been all my life. That being said, social distancing in the right circumstances is appropriate. As our President and his Press Secretary keep saying, wear a mask when social distancing is not possible. And those are the rules I follow except I wear a face shield, unable to wear a mask.

      3. I don’t appreciate that either. When someone is too close for comfort but in my line of work, it’s difficult to do our jobs without discussion and team work. And often it’s impossible to maintain even 6ft distance.
        I know all about that mask part. It must be so difficult for you. I hope this ordeal ends soon

To many other who are cooped up in their homes, going out might seem like a luxury! Two perspectives. But there is so much tragedy

  10. Everyone has his/her own opinion about pretty much everything. People who want to disagree with me are welcome to voice their opinions on my blog; I may or may not respond. Only once did I decide it was advisable to delete a post, because it involved a new neighbor who took umbrage at something I had written (who would have thought people in my neighborhood even read my blog?!). My in-house attorney advised me to delete that post, which I did. And then we put up a screen barrier on our 6′ chain-link fence so we never have to even look at that neighbor. There are no issues with any of our other neighbors, and I don’t expect there ever will be. Works out well for all of us.

    As for gyms – I’m not a gym-goer, but I did wonder how hard it would be to exercise vigorously while wearing a face mask. I sometimes wear one while walking the dog, if I’m in an area where people are too close together, and that’s hard enough.

    BTW – wherever did you find dumbbells? One of my daughters has been looking for a set and having no luck finding them locally nor online.

    1. Hi, CM! These days are crazy are they not to the point I put up a disclaimer about the First Amendment? Honestly! Anyways … dumbbells. My first pair (15 pounds) hubby got lucky and found at Target. The others are from Walmart (online coming tomorrow) and Amazon (coming in about a month). Any kind of equipment is sold out! I know I will need a stationary bike and if I cannot find one I HOPE hubby can make some type of stand so that I can use my outside bike. Tell your daughter to try Target, Walmart and Amazon. I wish her all the best.
      Neighbors …. One is sending me texts that I am now ignoring containing political jargon that supports what she claims is true. I’ve stopped reading or viewing anything political, just going about MY life as I want. Other neighbors on the other side of us have turned into a bar with very loud parties going on until 5am. I approached the landlords for a second time and complained and said three times they are out. I will call the police. We have a noise ordinance that starts at 11pm.
      I am SO sore from yesterday’s workout! LOL Now to THINK what I can use for a leg press and how best to target my back muscles with the dumbbells. It’s been a very creative journey. I am NOT going to the gym. I know when I say it is dangerous to wear a mask and exercise. There is zero common sense these days as in horror I watch our great state and NYC come to its knees. I am doing my best to help those who have been hit so hard financially, emotionally, spiritually, mentally. Hope you are enjoying this dry breezy weather. I’m vacuuming. LOL xo

    1. Sad is the day I am guided to remind people of the First Amendment. SO glad you laughed. GOOD! However, I will not be muzzled nor will I be NOT heard. People have got to start THINKING, Julie! My God! How many more deaths do we have to witness, how many more people damaged from these masks, before the collective realize holy shit! What are we DOING? No way no way will I be any part of the horror that is about to come in those gyms. If those gym owners don’t stand up for what is right, are they prepared to go through the rest of their lives knowing they are responsible for people dying and getting hurt? The leaders dictating these insane orders don’t care if people get hurt or die. I dunno what it is going to take for eyes to open. News flash! What is happening is NOT all about a virus.

      Wish you lived closer. Hubby and I would make you one. I LOVE it!! BIG HUGS to you!! Sending oxoxoxoxo first class USPS! Oh no wait! I’ll send it Fed-Ex priority. LOL

    1. I know Hubby did a great job, Donna! I am SO lucky to have this bench and when I did work out on it, it felt exactly like those at the gym. I’m figuring out how best to make an incline position from out of blankets and such and as well, figuring out how if I can make a leg press. Not sure about that. Sadly, the First Amendment in the USA has been extremely violated. Anyone even remotely conservative or anti-v, or pro-T, gets kicked off of social media. It’s shocking. Even doctors trying to get the truth out have been kicked off social media and then demonized. A few have lost their jobs due to trying to speak truth. I stay FAR away from the obvious socialism our media has become. People really believe this is still all about a virus? Shaking head…

      That cloud ….. what struck me as odd how one side was straight. I was in awe at both how huge this cloud was and its formation. Our skies here have been outstanding this summer. Never have I seen such clear blue skies and for this part of the country to have this amount of sunshine is very rare. To say the least I have been enjoying the outdoors. Now to get my “winter gear” ready so that I am prepared to enjoy the cold. Have a great day today, dear friend!! Sending much love to you and yours!! xo

    1. We do not understand what we have not experienced and it is very evident you do not work out at the gym. Uncomfortable you say? Lifting, pulling, pushing weights, either free or by machine requires a full in-breath of air in order to exhale fully while exerting muscles. It is all about breath and form and it is impossible and dangerous to work out with the breath impeded by a mask. It is evident you are young. I am not. Many of my age are not even able to walk while wearing a mask much less exercise. I challenge you. Try to run with a mask on your face. Try to bike fast with a mask on your face. Try jumping jacks with a mask on your face and then you tell me if you can breathe properly without you feeling as if your chest is about to burst that is starving for oxygen. I am not only an RN but a seer, one who “knows” not only through experience but through “knowing”. If these gym owners don’t stand up for what is right for the right to breathe freely while exercising, they will have to carry on their shoulders the responsibility of people becoming ill, passing out, and some who will fall over dead from heart attacks. Don’t believe me? That’s OK. Again what you don’t experience you don’t understand. You couldn’t pay me enough to go to a gym right now.

        Though I know at my local gym, it is optional to wear a mask while working out, and I have seen quite a few cyclists wearing them- so it isn’t unheard of.

      2. Victoria, I know I came across strong yet when I see the harm that is coming out of the insanity around me I get passionate about what I know to be true. I just had a doctor’s appointment today and the subject of wearing a mask at the gym came up and it was agreed by this doctor(!) that it is dangerous and not only that just wearing a mask as she was doing, (sitting, walking, talking) was difficult to do. This woman was in her 20’s. If people wish to wear masks while biking or exercising, in the long run they will come to know it will harm them. Masks are mandatory at gyms here and not only are they but it is being stipulated you must wear an N95 mask. Gym owners are already saying NO this is not possible and how dangerous this is. I have worked very very hard for my health and I am not about to follow someone’s inhumane rules to bring harm to myself. I too have seen people riding bikes with masks on and honestly I cringe at the sight, knowing they are inhaling CO2 and instead of O2. I pray all those who are doing these things not realizing the ramifications wake up and understand how dangerous these practices are. I am speaking truth regardless.

NYC has been destroyed which to me indicates what is going to be happening to the rest of this once great nation. The way things are going, our economy is headed for a crash, a very brilliantly implemented plan that is unfolding. I’m watching a documentary that makes the viewer understand how backward when it comes to health and clean living our country has become. Yet there are those of us who have done their homework to stay as healthy as possible and to create a life that has nothing to do with the mayhem of today. Yes I have improvised and let me tell you it is empowering! I will keep exercising outside for as long as I can. Winters here are cold! May you have a really great weekend, Sandra!!! xoxoxoxo

I feel so much stronger and calmer and better and living with chronic pain, my pain is way down from what it was. To have my gym taken from me in the way it happened this past Spring, was a major shock to my system. Now I do not have to be exposed to the dangerous madness that is happening at the gyms now and not only that, I have my own gym, I rely only on myself for my workouts. A win-win!

      2. Yes preparation and adapting, as in being flexible and willing to change (NOT easy for many of us!) is key right now. I’m getting my gym little by little fully equipped. Some more dumbbells are on the way and then I have to choose a stationary bike. It will feel so good to have all in place. I’m making a special place for myself in my home once I bring my “gym” indoors when the weather gets cooler.

    1. He’s the greatest, Julie! He has watched me as I work out and now he knows how serious I am. Next what he is going to do for me is do research on the best stationary bike for me. I’m not going back to my “old” gym. It’s a frigging nightmare what is going on. I gasp and gulp for air in the outdoors when I work out as it is, my sides heaving as I get my breath back. I can’t imagine working out with a mask on. Hands down so so dangerous! These idiots ….

    1. Shelly, all bets are off that I return to a gym. The owners not only have lost my support but my respect as well. They caved. To know that they are setting people up for injury and perhaps even death, I want NO part in! It is NOT possible to work out hard with a mask on! As it is, when I work out my breathing becomes very hard and fast. As well it should!! This is called HEALTHY.

    1. My babies are the center of my life, dear friend. How they love the warmth of the sun and the days we do have it, they can be found in sunbeams. Makes me smile just thinking about it. xo
