Wee Bit

I am sweating just a wee bit right now, I just got done with a Leslie Sansone Walk and Kick dvd.  It was just a wee bit fun, and I wish there was an option to play this dvd just a wee bit with the music only.  Don't get me wrong I love the woman a wee bit too much, I use her dvd's almost every day.  It her use of language that has me a wee bit on edge.  If you have ever seen one of her dvd's...you would understand just a wee bit more of what I am refering to.

I Lost Something

No one was home at the time when I decided to break out, once again, the Dancing with the Stars Latin Cardio Dance dvd.  This is the type of dance dvd that, unless you have the body of a 20 something, and are too young to care about why you are grinding your hips, should be done without an audience.  When I was young and perky,  I could cha-cha with the best of them, mambo like there was no tomorrow, samba all day and nite, and mix it all up with a little merengue in the morning!  I have lost something over the years.  My samba is sad, my mambo has lost its "bo", I can only cha, and forget about the morning merengue...the dvd did promise that no partner was needed, and right now, I would not want my partner to endure such visual torture.....

The Early Signs

Today I came home from work early because I felt like I was coming down with a cold.  I get those early signs that over the years I have learned to recognize...excessive tiredness, my nose gets cold and I start to sneeze.  I went home, put on the pj's and went to bed.  I am trying to address the symptoms early in hopes of stomping it out, before it slams me full force and lays me flat out.  If I get really, nasty sick its going to be really hard to exercise.  I got up this evening around 6 pm and did a 3 mile indoor walk dvd and it did not take me long before I was sweating ( I probably have a low grade temp).

Cocoon

Metamorphasis, today I am thinking about metamorphasis.  I can honestly say I resemble a big, sluggish caterpillar munching my way through life, eating everything in sight.  I guess exercise could be considered my cocoon, only, it is not restful at all in  my cocoon.  In my cocoon its a little hot and sweaty and after spending time in my cocoon my body starts to ache.  In the past I have used sleep (naps) as a cocoon.  I would come home from work and take a nap to find some peace and quiet.  Today I came home from work and used exercise, Leslie Sansone Walk Strong dvd

Have You Ever Wanted to Exercise?

Today I waited for "it" to happen again. "It" is the feeling I had yesterday that I actually wanted to exercise.
I think I felt that feeling around 2:00 today except it happened so fast I would have to call it a "flash" feeling.  It was like a hot flash but faster and without the sweat.  I was waiting all day for the feeling and was not even sure "it" would re-surface.  I hope the feeling grows, thats my hope, that my day won't feel right without exercise included.  I want to be addicted to exercise, its my only hope to be and stay healthy.  I have focused ALL my lifetime on eating right and I know what I am supposed to consume and what I am not supposed to ingest.  I have never had to ask myself if I wanted to eat, thats a "no brainer" to someone who's overweight, but I have always battled with asking myself if I wanted to exercise, thats also a "no brainer" to someone who's overweight.

Amazing Race

I got on the stationary bike tonite and watched the amazing race.  I really felt like I was a part of the race, except for the heat of Dubai.  My friend Siti is moving soon to Dubai with her family and I already knew that the world's tallest building was there.  I would love to go visit and see the world someday.  Right now, I can't even leave Spokane for the weekend.  At the end of the project, I plan to visit my sister in Colorado and exercise my 365th day with her.  I am looking forward to taking that trip and many others.... How do you sign up for a show like The Amazing Race?....

"IT" Happened

Today my husband and I had many errands to complete and most of it involved the RV that my Mom and Dad gave us.  While we were driving around town.... "it" happened in the car today, a strange and unfamiliar feeling, it startled me enough to realize I have never felt like that before.  The feeling that I had a glimpse of was...I wanted to exercise today.  I know, it almost took me aback, it shook me up a little, it was weird.  I came home from errands and although a little sleepy, I change into exercise clothes and did a 4 mile walk (Leslie Sansone dvd) instead of laying down on the couch for a little nap. I wonder if I will get that feeling tomorrow?
