Thoughtless

Tonight I am just thoughtless...I have no thoughts on my project.  I did my stationary bike while watching American Idol and watched as they chose the "Top 24".  I only rode it for about 40-45 minutes, but I managed to work up a sweat.  I have a Doctors appointment on Friday, just a regular check up and I am kinda excited to see how my project is shaping me up inside and out.

Presidential Workout

Happy Presidents Day?  Is that really something we celebrate as being a happy day?  I had a "grrrr-eight"
workout tonight.  I started with a mile walk dvd for an all over warm up and then I broke out the "Shred"...level 2 (it has started to become slightly, a teeny-tiny bit, easier).  Then,... feeling "Presidential"
I did a 10 minute express pilates dvd, going for 30 minutes, hips, abs, and arms.  I felt strong and fit (although, Jillian still gets me winded).  It was a Presidential workout, and I feel like I can take on the world!

Heart Day

Happy Heart Day!  Today is Valentines Day, a day to say, "I love you" with more than words.  My husband and I tell each other everyday as I am leaving for work, in some ways its endearing and wonderful, and in some ways it has become a routine.  I am glad we say it to each other, because if something happened to either one of us we would know how the other felt about them.  Today it is especially important to show others with more than just our "routine I love yous'".  We went out to breakfast and had a nice "couples time" over coffee and french toast,... and discussed our kids, well, one in particular, who is having his first ever REAL Valentines day with a girlfriend.  I think he learned it was an expensive day...dinner, movie, roses, Hallmark card, and a heart shaped giant chocolate cookie that he made....ah, young love, it was very sweet to watch him get nervous and ask a boat load of questions as he shopped for all the components.  I hope he never lets the magical feeling of love fade away.  To improve my heart today I did a 50 minute stationary bike ride while I watched the start of Amazing Race, I love that show...

I Can't Believe....

I found myself with a new exercise dvd again today.  Before I knew it I was pulling out my Barnes and Noble Membership, my 15% off sticker and my credit card.  I really had trouble choosing between several titles and decided I need only to purchase them if I have discount stickers.  I chose Mari Windsor Pilates for Pink Core Challenge.  It has 4 ten minute express routines for all body parts.  I did the whole workout and I 'll let you know tomorrow if I am sorry for that decision!.... "I can't believe I did the whoooole thing..."

Scattered Thoughts

I have had some scattered thoughts lately.  I am getting near the halfway point of 182.5 days and my mind is asking questions and searching for answers.  Some of those thoughts have to do with 365 days and the project is complete and then?  Do I keep going? everyday? for how long?  I have hopes that I will be addicted to exercise and if I don't exercise I won't feel right.  Maybe I will be teaching a Zumba class in the far future, or become a Walk Leader.  Teach weight loss yoga, or a combination of all three!  Tonight I did a Leslie Sansone 3 mile walk dvd with a small pilates mat workout, I love working my core!

"I Like'em Chunky..."

I first heard this song at Zumba class one week ago and I loved it!  I started to wonder where it came from and then I watched the movie Madgascar  Escape 2 Africa, and the Hippo is singing it to his girlfriend.  I must admit to you I feel like I am swinging my "hippo-hips" during this song.  I had Zumba again tonight and it was just as sweaty dripping, heart pounding as the first night....and twice the fun.  I can't wait to download the songs and practice the moves at home...."I like-em chunky"....
