Friday Fitness Nite

It was Friday Fitness Fun Nite and my fanny did a fast four mile walk.  I wouldn't say I feel like a fitness fanatic just yet, but it was a pretty fantabulous feat that after a five day work week I found the time to do four miles on a Friday nite. You might feel this fairytale is a little far-fetched, but I insist, this is not fictious!

Inventory

Things are starting to fall into a rhythm according to reality television.  I have noticed that during Sunday's Amazing Race and Thursday's Survior I go along for the ride with my stationary bike.  The other 5 days are a mix of dvd's usually Leslie Sansone Power Walking, fitness ball, bands, hand weights...It is amazing how much exercise related paraphernalia I have collected over the years.  I have it stashed everywhere.  I have two fitness balls and two yoga mats, I have a Bean (came out after the fitness ball), and a total gym, I have a set of free weights ranging from 2 pounds up to 10 pounds, a variety of rubber exercise bands, I had a Lateral Thigh Trainer ( I think it went with a yard sale), and I had a treadmill (sold it to a friend).  I think have the makings of a fitness center!

Procrastination

I just had a conversation with my son about putting off responsibilities, waiting until the last minute, and trying to come up with a culminating Senior Project in a months time.  I gave him total and complete control of his senior year in high school and he is learning some hard life lessons from it.  I would have to stop here, and admit I am a procrastinator too.  I have waited for the last minute concerning many things, especially my health and fitness. Now, I am sweating through many pounds of "stored energy" all in an attempt to get healthy.  It is hard to stay motivated and moving, but I have procrastinated my life and good health away long enough. Tonite, I came home with a 10 minute Solutions dvd using a fitness ball.  I did 10 min of lower body, upper body, core and cardio, a total of 40 minutes.

Not Much to It

On Tuesday nites we have a Bible Study at my house.  After work I run home, pick up the house, clean the bathroom, and get something to eat, before everyone arrives.  Today, I decided to clean the garage so I could put my car in at nite.  I hate scraping frost off my car in the morning, it slows me down and its cold!
After everyone left at 9:00 pm I popped in a L.Sansone dvd and did a 3 mile walk, wiped off the sweat and went to bed.

My Underwear is Relieved

This is a strange title to an uncomfortable subject.  Well, my underwear was really uncomfortable, tight, small, and the coverage....well, it was no verizon network.  I would like you all to know that donning the necessary garments has been a pleasure lately.  I am definitely relieved and so is my underwear!  I did a L.Sansone dvd today after work and I actually had "flash desires" to workout while I was at work, several times!!  It was an incredible feeling and so is the fitting of my underwear!  I think the two go hand in hand....no pun intended...

Routine

Sunday nite, Amazing Race, Stationary bike...at least I knew there was a bike involved in the challenge and I did not incur a 30 minute penalty.....HELLO!

Candy Coma

Is Halloween about the dark night time fun, costumes, or gathering and eating candy until you fall into a candy coma?  What about when you become almost fifty years old?  It's too cold to be out in the dark night time, the costume does not fit anymore, and eating a handful of candy corn can send your blood into "sugar shock"
My kids are all grown up and Halloween does not have the same excitement as it had before. I was not even home to pass out the color changing cheetos snack bags that I had bought.  I spent all afternoon and most of the evening helping out my mother and her computer-printer "fall out" (they were not talking to each other)  At 9:30 pm I came home and popped in a L.S. dvd and did a 3 mile walk ending up at 10 pm, all sweaty, and ready for bed....no, make that a shower and then bed!
