Half Of Me

Tonight, I just didn't care if I exercised or not.  I am not feeling great and layed down on the couch at 6:30 pm.  My husband kept telling me what time it was in hopes of spurring me off the couch.  When that didn't work, he put on his exercise clothes and came down the stairs.  This, of course, loosened the glue that held me down and I, with no enthusiasm, went and put my clothes on.  He chose the dvd (L.S. walk) and only the lower half of me participated.  My head, heart and stomach were not into it, my knees, legs, and feet went through the motions...

CHESTer

Tomorrow is December 14th, exactly 3 months from when I started this project.  I will stop by the Doctors office tomorrow to weigh in on their scale to see if I am decreasing the population of Bootyville and Tummy Town.  I will have to tell you I discovered a new place called "Chester"  I know for sure CHESTer has lost some of its population...remember when I said my underwear was relieved?  Anyway, my husband may accuse me tomorrow of trying to kill him, we both did Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred dvd and I heard him huffin' and puffin'....tomorrow morning I may just get a little chuckle to start my day!

Darn It!

I did it again....exercised and forgot to blog about it.   I really, really, get aggrevated at myself when I do that.  I had a friend come over and we spent all day, from 10 am till 11:00 pm sewing on projects and cooking.  It was so much fun!  She brought her pressure cooker over to show me how it works and she made a roast in it.  We had roast, potatoes, asparagus, and salad.  It was a meal to die for!  While she was doing a second cooking project, I did a 30 minute walk dvd and after my exercise I went to the kitchen to take a peek at the results...I told you earlier I was easily distractable!  The next time my friend comes over to sew I will tell her I am not really famliar with how a crock pot works......

Tired

 Feeling tired, I put in the Pilates with Band dvd and did a 30 min workout at about 9:30 pm.  I really have no thoughts to give you about it right now...I am too tired...

Progress

Wow! I had alot of energy tonight!  After Survivor aired, I put a chocolate cake in the oven, and did a 45 minute walk dvd (4 Big Miles).  My husband joined me, which is always a kick.  he always has the most bored look on his face while going through the motions.  I breezed right through the 4 miles and felt like I still had enough pep in my step to do a fifth!  I think some of the other cardio intense routines (Jillian's Shred, and Steve Maresca's Make-Me-Over) have conditioned me a little farther...so, now I say... "Bring It ON!!"

Change Your Focus

Why do we associate the holidays with eating?  I would venture a guess that in the olden' days your food was a little more special on a holiday, than the daily mush.  However, today, our food is pretty special on a daily basis and we still center our holiday around the meal and special treats.  Is there another way to pull off a holiday without all the munching, crunching and belching?  I am going to try to keep my thoughts off the treats and on the real reason we gather together.  Tonight, I did a 30 min.walk dvd while I was changing my focus.
