Nightmare

Last night I had a nightmare.   I had a dream that I got up the next day, and when I went to put on my jeans they didn't fit, they were too tight, and I had gained weight overnight.  It really feels, sometimes, that you can look at food and gain weight, smell food and gain, think about food and the pounds appear overnight!  How in the world did I get so large?  You know, sometimes, you enjoy food, and "celebrate" a bithday or holiday with food, mainly sweets.  But, you rationalize, and you tell yourself that most of the time you eat pretty healthy.  Obviously, I don't....the evidence is found in the population explosion of "Tummy Town" and "Bootyville"...an eviction notice has been served, tonite it was in the form of a 3 mile L. Sansone walk dvd.

Evil Twin

I finally feel the bickering selves "Dooit and Don't" have stopped their arguments.  It has been pretty quiet upstairs.  But Dooit Later (Don't's evil twin) seems to be enjoying her vacation here a little too much and she is bossy. Tonite, she had us all waiting until 9:30 pm to get our 30 minutes of exercise in.  We did a 10 minute Pilates dvd.  We completed 10 min. of lower body, 10 min. of upper body, and 10 min. of core using bands.

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...
