Razzle Me Wednesday

Well, to be completely honest I did not want to get up off my Bootyville and exercise.  But then I remembered thats how Bootyville grew in population.  So I drug my tired Booty to another comfortable position, one that has petals and is in front of a television, my recumbent bike.  I did my obligatory 30 minutes and went 5 minutes over just to be sure...

Summer Nights

I love summer nights.  They are often cool and sometimes breezy.  The perfect temperature for an outdoor walking jogging exercise time!  I decided to spend as much time outside exercising as I can before the snow flies.  I went for a 2 mile, 2 minute walk, 2 minute jog on a lovely summer night!

Late Night Yoga

Today was such an exciting day!  I started my new job at STCU in the phone center AND my son Garrett came home for a visit from the Marine Corp.  The only problem is,... Garrett came home at 10:00 pm and by the time I got around to exercising it was 11:30 pm.  So, yoga was the perfect fit for my 30 minutes of exercise!

Sunday Stroll

Just a plain ole fashion Sunday stroll.  What happened to that tradition?..  When did it die out and fade into the background?  What have we put into its place?  Probably television...no wonder we are an obese nation!

Huff an Puff

On a Saturday evening, after my husband came home from the Bistro, I was just leaving for my walk/jog when I asked him if he wanted to go for a walk...I forgot to mention the jog.   He said, "yes", so he did not bother to get out of his jeans, who needs to if you are going for a walk?  Well, we started out walking and when my beeper went off I launched into my light jogging mode and so did my husband.  He used to be a marathon runner, so I was suprised to hear him huff an puff as he jogged along side of me!  When I made mention of his labored breathing, he replied "Well, what do you expect?, I was wearing jeans!"  I never realized that denim is so hard on your lungs!...

Weight Loss Yoga

I did the Biggest Loser Weight Loss Yoga tonight and it is almost midnight.  I was sooo tired when I came home from work tonight so I laid down on the dining room floor and feel asleep.  My mind kept on saying "Get up and get your exercise done!" but the old bag of bones were unwilling.

Speedy Gonzales

Sunny weather and an outside speed racy walk...I walked to the limit of walking, the speed that is still walking just before you break into a slow jog.  You might be asking yourself, "why"?....the answer is, "I don't know."   Maybe it was a combo of things, I needed to get done fast, I didn't want to jog because my knee was hurting a little, and I wanted to see if I could do it.
