Double Portion

I can definitely identify I have fallen into a routine.  This morning I climbed into my exercise clothes, donned my shoes and socks, popped in the dvd and started to walk.  Half way into my first mile it occured to me that today is Thursday!  Now, you are probably thinking...."ok"...right....but this had me thinking "why am I exercising now?, on Thursdays I have an evening Zumba class!"  At this point I could have stopped the walk dvd and gone on my merry way but, I thought.."what the heck, I have already started to sweat and I have allotted the time....so, I finished a 3 mile walk, AND went to Zumba tonight....hence, a double portion!

Walking

I love walking, it is so basic and natural.  I suppose the whole reason I started my project was because if you don't move it, you lose it.  I spent time at my Mom and Dad's house with my Sister in September when this all came about.  My Sister and I had gone to see the movie Julie Julia and the idea for Julie Nancy Project stemmed from that movie.  However, what planted it firmly in my mind was the fact that I was headed down the same path as my Mother.  She has always had an issue with her weight and so have I.  She can barely move, and she has moved practically everything in her house within arms reach so she does not have to move...I did a 4 mile walk today and it felt marvelous!

Good Ole' Leslie!

I just love the simplicity of her walk dvd's!  While I am waiting for my T-Tapp book and dvd combo (I ordered used from Amazon), I will continue to walk everyday and add in some yoga and other things that I like, but I am not certain I will hit it so hard with weights anymore, maybe just using my own body weight and the proper form (point of perfection).  Today I did a 3 mile walk in the morning!  My schedule at work has changed and I don't go to work until 12:30 pm, which makes it easier to get the workout done for the day!

Introducing....

T- Tapp!... never heard of it before?....me either...until last Sunday.  My massage therapist, Dian, mentioned this after I was telling her about my exercise project and all the areas that are aching and tense!  She simply said, "Have you heard of Teresa Tapp? or T-Tapp?"  There are so many things in this world to see and learn and do, and I am having a hard time fitting them all in or at least trying them all, but this one I will spend some time learning about and trying.  It makes sense and if you google it you will see for yourself.  I gave this a try off of her site T-Tapp.com and of couse I did 30 min of looking and trying it all out!....very interesting...

Concentrate

I can't concentrate!  The computer sits right next to the television, in the living room, and is blaring in my left ear!  I can't concentrate, much less, type out any thoughts about exercising...

It's Official

It's official, I am now under 200 days remaining for the exercise project.  When I started at 365,  I thought it would take forever until I was under 300 days.  I can hardly believe I am now under 200!   I will set my mind on the next goal of busting through 100 and into the tens. One hundred days from now and I will be celebrating 99 days to go!  Tonight, I did Jillian's Shred dvd level 2 and Leslie's 1 mile walk dvd.
