It Was A Good Day

I may be getting addicted to exercise....I am so excited I found exercise t.v.,... that was my first clue.  The second clue is I wanted to try them all out in one day!  I settled for three workouts on Exercise TV, I did abs, am cardio, and a Leslie Sansone 1 mile walk.  My 17 year old son was astounded and kept saying "Mom!, really? another one?"  I think he was just wanting to use the tv for his x-box games and couldn't wait for me to go away.

Giddy

I am giddy with excitement!  Today, I took a moment to explore On Demand T.V.,  scoping out all the options that are available, and I found Exercise T.V.!  OH MY!, the choices....Celebrity workouts, Factor Five, Kim Kardashian, Make-Me-Over, Abs, Buns, Metabolic Boost, and so much more!  Its an addicted exercisers dream!  I was going to try one tonight but my husband joined in and so we did a L.S. walking dvd (4 Big Miles).  I didn't want him to hurt himself by trying something new, it might be too much of a surprise on his physique.

Sweat Equity

It is late again (10:33 pm) and I just finished the Biggest Loser Cardio Max dvd.  I am still on week one but I noticed it is getting a little easier.  Today, I had the opportunity to gobble up the left overs from Thankgiving. I didn't pig out, but, I thought about it!... the only thing that stopped me is "sweat equity".  I have noticed that I make better, concious choices about what passes the lips for chew and swallow.  I know how hard I have to workout everyday and when you put all that sweat equity into losing weight, you want to be sure it pays off

Tummy Full

We all got our tummies filled today.  It is Thanksgiving, The BIG Day where we eat ourselves silly sick.  I did not eat a breakfast and the family came over at noon to feast.  I will not eat again until tomorrow, so really, I only ate once today, but it was a belly-ful of food!  I had smoked turkey and stuffing, mashed potatoes with gravy, geen bean cassarole, cranberry jello salad and I passed on the roll and butter.  I skipped the sweet potato cassarole and the layered salad, but I had a second helping of smoked turkey.  For dessert I had one piece of pumpkin pie with lite whipped topping and some coffee.  After the family went home my husband and I did a 5 mile BIG Day Turkey Walk (actually it was a Leslie Sansone dvd)... I think I may have burned off the pumpkin pie.

Its Never Too Late

Is it ever too late to exercise?  I don't mean "late" as in age, although, I m sure that needs to be a consideration.  I was talking time of day, as in late at night.  I let "Dooit Later" dictate our schedule again today and we did our 30 minutes of a Pilates with Band dvd at 10:15 pm.  I believe "Dooit Later" is an evil twin with "Don't" and both are the spawn of their parents, Mr. and Mrs. "Procrastination".  Now lets consider age, is it ever too late to exercise?  I would have to answer, no...there is... "Sit and Be Fit"

Planning On It

It never works out the way you plan it.  It is an hour before midnite and here I am posting on my blog.  So, this is how it went today.  I had the day off from work and I slept in a little, woke up and laid in bed a little, got up, had coffee and played around on the computer a little.  Then, I did lite house cleaning to prepare for the BIG Stuff Your Face and Be Thankful Day.  I also had a sewing project that I worked on a little and several times today I heard "Dooit" say, "You better stop what you are doing and go exercise."  Dooit Later said" Nah, you've got plenty of time!"  Guess who won?  It is now 11:28 pm....oh, and by the way, I did 30 minutes on my bike.

Ditto

Tonight was a ditto of last night.  I did a 30 minute pilates dvd, upper body, lower body and abdominals.  It is the easiest dvd to do in your street clothes, no exercise garments needed.  After I watched Dancing With the Stars and the new show Find My Family it was 10 pm and I jumped off the couch and did my 30 minutes of exercise.  I have begun to notice it is a required part of my day,  I just wish I didn't wait so long or late to plop down and do it!
