Teachable Moment

I had a teachable moment this morning.  It all started when my eyes opened and I moved a muscle.  I felt the pain left behind by yesterdays "Biggest Loser Cardio Max" exercise routine and then it hit me...I didn't blog about it.  I felt terrible about the fact I didn't blog, there by messing up 365 days of blogging about my exercise. Now, I know you might be thinking, and I feel sort of stupid, about the fact that I did exercise, and that I should be happy about that.  I am estatic that I haven't missed a day of exercise!  However, the other part of the discipline is the accountability of the blog, a record, like showing up to weigh in at a meeting.  I feel like I missed a meeting with the keyboard.  So, today there will be two entries, just to make up for yesterdays blog report that went A.W.O.L..  And, I did, I did, I really did exercise yesterday, I promise!  If only you could see me get up and walk away from the computer, you would know I did by the stiff limp.

Rain, Rain.....Go Away

I know Winter is coming soon, Fall came without Summer leaving.  You could probably say Fall arrived and blew Summer out the door!  My blogging might get a little cold and dry (like the weather) because stationary bike riding is not that exciting.  What I can tell you is that the bickering selves have quieted down and Dooit was the boss today.  That is actually quite exciting, but I don't want to "count my chickens" just yet, its still too early in the project to say that exercise is a part of my life.  I did exercise today, on the bike, and I have noticed keeping to a schedule keeps Dooit Later from showing up!

Tortilla Chips Lament

It was cold and windy outside today on my walk  I went backwards on my route, just to mix it up a bit, I walked on the other side of the road.  It was a nice walk under blue skies and sunshine and, as always, I was looking to get paid.  I did not even see a penny.  I see many interesting things on my walks and today it was a busted styrofoam container of salsa, tossed to the side of the road and splattered all across the sidewalk.  How could someone do that?  Salsa does not go bad, so they did not toss it out because it was rotten.  My concern is for the poor tortilla chips that now have to be eaten dry and without their best friend salsa.  Who would do such a terrible thing? Why would you eat chips and salsa while driving or maybe strolling down the sidewalk, and who would you eat tortilla chips without salsa?!? They were meant to be together, the wet compliments the dry, the red looks great with the yellow, the salty pairs with the spicy.....I am starting to feel a little hungry now, time for breakfast!

Wednesdays Stink

Every sport has its dangers.  Walking has dangers...you may be thinking about it right now and asking yourself..."walking has dangers?, what dangers?, should I go walking if its dangerous?"  Let me just say, Wednesdays are especially dangerous.  You should be warned of the dangers, so, let me educate you.  The following are dangers, seven days a week, twenty four hours a day.  Sprinklers, barking dogs (you never can be sure the fence will hold them back), cars turning into driveways, and driving crazy fast through neighborhoods and around corners, and the worst of all....loogies on the sidewalk.  But, Wednesdays, in my neighborhood are especially dangerous.  Wednesday is trash day and it stinks.  Not only do you have to walk by everybodys stinky trash cans, recycle bins, and rotting grass clippings, but then there is the trash collectors truck stirring it all up into a unique aroma.  I hate to admit this, but, Dooit Later might be invited in on Wednesdays.

Bits and Pieces

I exercised today in bits and pieces.  I got up this morning, at 7 am, and it was cold outside.  I told myself "I'll walk later when it warms up."  Of course, as the day progresses, you find yourself in the mode to get all the errands done, house cleaned, and dinner made, before you know it the sun is setting and it gets cold outside.  I did manage to get 8 minute abs in during house cleaning, and 15 minutes of a new cardio dvd while the soup for dinner simmered.  I got on the stationary bike tonite to finish out my time of AT LEAST 30 minutes and when I was done I felt good that I "got er done" if only in bits and pieces.

Seriously

I served an eviction notice on Bootyville and Tummy Town 15 days ago and I don't think they are taking me seriously.  I know Bootyville inhabitants are not listening because this morning on my walk my arms are still hitting land mass.  I think Tummy Town has decreased population by a little, my jeans are a little less stressed.  I also wanted you to know I got paid again today, I found a penny and then a quarter!  That makes the total  $1.37, oh, and I also saw a dead snake in the road.  I told you I see interesting things on my walks around the neighborhood!

Un-Welcomed Guest

Yesterday I told you about someone new that I met named Dooit Later.  It seems that Dooit Later came to visit for the weekend and I hope she is gone by Monday.  Dooit Later was not invited, nor did she ask to visit, and if I had my choice she would not be invited back.  Do I have a choice?  I think Dooit Later is even more evil than Don't.  I did go for a walk but, the sun had gone down, and it was cold, but my sister and I went for a walk around Liberty Lake.  It seems when  there is a schedule to keep Dooit Later is nowhere to be found.
