Friday Night Lights

Tonight I decided to go out for my walk/jog while it was still light out but, the sun was low enough behind the hills that it was cooling off the days heat.  I have to say the people in the hood were a little crazy over the fact it is Friday.  First, I had a truck full of teenage boys drive by and give me the old,... "WOO HOO!" obviously having their "happy hour" in the truck.  Then I had an old guy drive by in a suburban and tell me to "go faster"... this is another great reason why I like to exercise in the dark...  all the crazy young boys are out in the bars picking up girls and the old guys are kicking back in the "lazy boy" with the remote control...

Thursday- Taking Advantage

I am definitely taking advantage of the outdoor weather these days.  I know winter will be coming soon, I can already feel fall in the air.  When I enter stores I can see all the fall pumpkin and leaf decor on the shelves in the front and Christmas is setting up toward the back of some stores.  My favorite season is fall, as I love the warm colors and the cool air.  I have been going out consistently for a walk/jog in the evenings.  I have been enjoying the cool nights and the quiet of the neighborhood....the downside is I haven't found any money in the streets, its too dark!!!

27 Days

Twenty seven days to go,... I can't believe my project is coming to an end!  It seemed like 365 days was the whale in the room....now it is a minnow.  I did a walk/jog tonight and I increased my jog time to 3 minues and kept my walk time to 2 minutes.  I definitely need new running shoes if I continue jogging.  I have been doing alot of thinking about my next project, and I really thought it would be marathon training.  Well, I will train for a half marathon using the Galloway method as my exercise continuation,  However, I have always wanted to learn to play the guitar.  So, my next project will be learning to play the guitar.....I will start most likely on my birthday.... and I will practice everyday for at least 15 minutes....

After Work "Party"

At 5:00 pm it is really hard to force myself over to the workout room before going home from work.  But, as I sit here tonight (at 8:21pm) posting the details of my 60 minute workout, I am really glad that "Do-It-Now" forced me into the room.  I am home from the "Party" and I did 40 minutes on the Elliptical Trainer and the other 20 minutes doing ab exercises and bicep curls.  I should "Party" more often!

Half Moon

I remember a place in California called Half Moon Bay.  It was a quaint little place with shops, beaches, and seafood eateries.  The moon tonight was a beautiful half moon with a golden amber color and my mind thought about Half Moon Bay.  I have been so many places in my life, someday I should sit down and list them all.  I liked Half Moon Bay beacause it was small, and I like small places where you can get to know the shops and the people.  I have gotten to know my neighborhood pretty well.  I have seen each home in the daytime and the night.  I may not know the people on a first name basis but I could put faces with houses.  I have seen their yards in the daytime and their living rooms in the evenings, I could also tell them if their sprinklers are working and hitting the grass.  You can get a pretty good idea of their sprinkler system in the evenings while doing a 30 minute walk jog.

Another Sunday Stroll

I had to put my son on a plane back to North Carolina at 8 am and I had to drag myself through the rest of the day.  Sleeping is a way to shut off the emotions, so, sleeping was my "drug" of choice.  I waited until the sun went down and cooled the air to announce I was going for a walk.  My husband has left the Insanity workout for 2 weeks and so I knew if I invited him to walk with me he would go.  Walking is so much easier than the insanity of Insanity!  We went for a Sunday stroll and had a nice time talking about life.

Sad Saturday

It is a sad, sad, Saturday... My son came home for a visit from the Marines and it is the night before he has to go back.  He did a lot of prepapation for returning, cleaning his room and laundry, such a good squared Marine!  But I tried to stay busy with my own chores just to avoid going down to his room to sit on his bed and watch him clean up his room.  He would have thought that was totally weird of me but I wanted to get my "eyes full of him", before he left again.  He is such a handsome and mature 22 year old man with green eyes and I just adore him so.  Needless to say, I did not want to leave the house at all so I waited until 11 pm to go out for a walk/jog.
