I Won!

Remember back when you were a kid, and you and your best friend ran a race and you both got to the finish line and shouted "I win!" at the same time?  Then, you both had a verbal sparring match of  "I won!", "NO, I won!", "no I won!", "NO, I won!".  Well, I feel like a kid again, and it makes me giggle!   My friend Cindy started exercising yesterday and I am SO PROUD of her!  But I knew she would run right home from work today to exercise again, because she and her husband and some other friends and family come over on Tuesday nites for a Bible Study at 6:30 pm.  As she was leaving tonight she said, "Ha, Ha, now you have to exercise!", in her best little girl giggle.  I quickly replied, "Nah uh, I already did it!, in my best little bratty girl voice.  She turns around and says, "Well, I bet I did it first!",....  "OH YEAH!?, what time did you workout?" I snipped, "4:30" she gloated.....out came my best weapon against a friend....I stuck my tongue out at her!
PS. a mile walk warm up, and Jillians Shred level two and I bet I have worked out MORE DAYS than my friend Cindy....nee, ner, nee, ner

The Super Bowl of Workouts

I bought 3 new exercise dvds today!  The Biggest Loser Weight Loss Yoga, Leslie Sansone 3 mile Slim and Sleek Walk Plus Pilates, and the third dvd, 10 Minute Solutions Rapid Results Pilates.  I also had a massage today at 1:00 pm and I should have done the workout before I went for the massage.  Instead, I did my workout tonight after the Super Bowl.  I decided the Pilates would be the least counter productive to the massage.  I have an intense desire to workout my abs now and will search for any ab workout that will cause me to wake up the next day "ab sore".

News Just In.....

Ladies and Gentleman the news just came in that the populations of Tummy Town and Bootyville have significantly decreased.  Residents of the town have been overheard saying the the Mayor of these  two towns has declared hard labor on every citizen who live in the city limits and some residents who live on the outskirts of town as well.  One resident, who refused to be identified, was quoted as saying, " I didn't vote for her, and I don't support her, not one little bit...she has us working long, late hours...she has totally ruined our lives and made it miserable for everyone.  I know about a third of the town has packed up and left!"  The Mayor refused to comment on camera, but sent a statement.  And I quote, " Tough Patooties!, Adios, Good Riddence, and don't let the door hit your Big Booty Judy on the way out of town!"  After that statement was issued she ordered them back to work, and had them doing a two mile walk later that evening.

11:21 PM

Came home tonight to find an earthworm on the sidewalk!   An earthworm in February!!   Doesn't he know its still winter?  I got so excited to see it I quickly ran the groceries into the house, grabbed my camera and ran out to take a picture.  This all, of course, made my exercise workout time go late into the night....(wink, wink)  OK,ok so its not the worms fault...I did a 30 min pilates workout....the worm just did stretching...

ZUMBA!...Ditch the Workouts and Join the PARTY!

Tonight was my first night of Zumba class and everything about it was F-U-N!   The music- fun, instructor- fun, vocabulary for the dance moves-fun,...people trying to swing their hips in a circle-funny!  It went super fast from 6:40 pm to 8:10 pm.  We learned about 3-4 moves to a song, and we did about 7 or 8 songs and a small cool down and stretch.  I learned how to do the "wee-wee", and the "washing machine", I had "jellyfish" arms, and "snake" arms,  I was "stabbing and pushing", "scooping water and pouring it on my head"....oh!, and you should see my "Egyptian" hands...Cleopatra would be proud!

Mixer

Tonight was a mixer.  I was not sure which way to go, so I turned on exercise tv to peruse the menu for a new workout.  I tried a little Bollywood, it was fun, but not enough.  I would use it as a good warm-up.  The next one I tried was Boost Metabolism with Jillian.  It was a good workout, but her Shred workout is harder.  Then I tried Biggest Loser Power Sculpt and on that workout I probably needed heavier weights.  I was using 3 lb weights in each hand and I did not feel the "burn".  I can tell I am getting a little bored with my routine, but tomorrow night I get to start Zumba classes amd I and so excited!

Control

I had to start by looking up the definition of control.  I thought it would have said to have power over..., I was close, it said to "to exercise dominating influence or authority over, direct, a check or restraint.  I am finally starting to realize I have control over "my will" to ignore the health of my body.  I am certain that "Don't" has packed up and left, and I hope very soon "Dooit Later" will follow closely behind.  I have gained a dominating authority over my mind and body and it has been a very long time since I have felt this good.  The feeling of control I have is like water to a parched soul, it is generating the want for more.  The want for more is maybe the basis for addiction?  Today, I came home from work and got right to the business of exercise, I did Biggest Loser Cardio Max levels one and two and I was happy I worked it hard and got it done!
