Day 110: Aurora Borealis, Active Recovery and Gardening Progress

Thanks for coming by again! Today, being Saturday, there were no new lessons in the PN program, but it was filled with plenty of activity and a couple of pleasant surprises.

Extended Walks and Gardening

I took advantage of the day for some active recovery, starting with an extended walk with my dog. We also enjoyed her usual walks throughout the day, which always adds a nice rhythm to our routine. In addition to our walks, I spent some time in the garden, moving my strawberry plants into the new berry garden alongside the blueberry bushes. Learning that strawberries can create beneficial shade for blueberries was a delightful bonus to optimizing my garden's layout.

Aurora Borealis Surprise

A special highlight of the day was my husband capturing a fantastic photo of the Aurora Borealis in the middle of the night while I was sleeping. It was quite unexpected, especially given the usual light pollution in our area. This rare sight added a magical touch to an already relaxing day.

Using Tria for Hair Removal

I also continued using my Tria laser hair removal device today for a few stubborn hairs that I have because of PCOS. I’m pleased to report that most of the hairs I treated previously seem a few weeks ago to be gone, which is why I love having such effective results from the comfort of my home.

Reflecting on the Day

Overall, today was a day well-spent in active recovery, enjoying nature both in my garden and through the unexpected natural display in the sky. It’s these kinds of days that rejuvenate me and make me appreciate the simpler pleasures in life. Looking forward to what tomorrow brings!

Embarking on a new health and wellness journey can be both exhilarating and daunting.

It was more than just a formality; it was a deep dive into my health, lifestyle, and expectations. The Thorough Questionnaire After registering for the program, I received an email with a comprehensive questionnaire. I was surprised to see that I had dedicated a good half hour to complete it, and every minute was worth it.
