Saturday- Recumbent Bike

While in pursuit of the Total Gym on Friday's Craig's List hunt, I found stationary Recumbent bike for sale for $30.00 in Chewelah.  I did some quick calling and secured a Saturday pick-up for that little item.  My husband rolled his eyes and groaned a little when I told him where we were going on Saturday and "what for" but I convinced him he would be speaking my "love language", Quality Time, while we were in the truck.  We did have a nice ride up there talking over many of the things we never have time to discuss for any length of time.  I have discovered that a nice long car ride is good communication time, someone should invent a counseling service that involves sitting in a car!  When we got back with the bike, up to my room it went and found its new home at the end of my bed.  I turned on a Saturday movie and jumped on for a 1 hour ride...only burning 165 calories?....really?....thats what my new bike said.

Friday-Craigs List

I did some shopping on Friday.  Craig's List had some fantastic deals on exercise equipment.  I found a Total Gym 1100 for $80.00 that was newer and had more accessories than the one Jaryl owns and so, I went in pursuit of it.  I called and called until I got an answer but by that time she was being offered $100.00.  I told her I would pay her that amount, within the hour, with cash!  I went and picked it up and of course it took all of my morning to arrange all of this escapade.  I brought it home and dashed off to work...needless to say I worked out on it after work at 9:30 pm.  Total Gym 1100 workout for 30 minutes.

Boring Bike Part 2

Another rainy day staionary bike ride....boring.... but I did decide I need a new staionary bike, one that will challenge me a little more, programable, garage sale and craigs list,...here I come!

Waiting

I hate waiting unless it is for something good.  Waiting to get your exercise done at the end of a long day is just wrong, criminal, there should be a law against it.  I warn you all now! Start your day with exercise, 30 minutes of it, don't wait, don't put things in front of it, don't kid yourself into thinking you will do it later, don't procrastinate....I speak from experience....I waited until 11:00 pm, again, and did 30 minutes of Pilates with a stretchy band and went to bed.

VTO Tuesday

Another "Brisk" walk around the neighborhood at 7pm.  Who can resist V.T.O. (Volunteer Time Off) from work when the finale of Biggest Loser and Dancing With the Stars was on television?!?  Obviously me...

Mentor Monday

This was a wonderful sunny Monday spent as a personal vacation day from work with my bestie Cindy.  We started our day with a latte and chat, then headed off to do some gardening.  It was not long before we needed some shopping...you know,...seeds and stuff,...electronic soil ph tester,...veggie starts,...fence posts,....oh and last but not least,..a BIG bag of organic soil infused with chicken poop!  After a long day of chatting, shopping and digging we ended with a "Brisk", (at least thats what Cindy called it) 30 minute walk. 

Judge Judy

I definitely waited and contemplated, pondered and procrastinated, delayed and deliberated the idea that all my shopping today was a substitution for "exercise".  Thank goodness that I have a third eye and can see that I have a good and evil, light and dark side and the third eye is there to see it all and weigh in as the "Judge Judy".  So, "Judge Judy" layed down the law at 11:00 pm and stated, " This project was set up as 30 minutes of exercise, that means you have to set aside 30 "intentional" minutes of exercise!...so off the couch we rose, all my body parts and me,...50 minutes of Biggest Loser Weight Loss Yoga.
