Its All Downhill From Here!

I used to focus on the "countdown of days to go" for my project and lately when I have been signing on to The Julie/Nancy Project, I haven't really glanced over at that little window off to the right.  Today I noticed I am getting close to 100 days!  In about a months time, plus 9 days, I will be entering the last 100 days!  It is unbelievable to me I have gone this long exercising.  Even when I was on the swim team in my youth, I did not swim EVERY day! I felt much better today going after a ttapp total workout again and I sailed right through it.  That workout is amazing!

Total T-Tapp Tuesday...

... oh my goodness....it was tough, no lie!  I haven't done a total ttapp in about a week and I felt sluggish and rusty.  My body was starting to feel achy and cranky and I did not want to endure a 55 minute workout.  But, I forced myself to do it and boy am I glad I did!  I feel so much better and I think my day at work will be much better because I feel energized!

Lazy Monday

Here I am playing catch up again.  I think I sit around too much in the morning trying to wake up, sip my coffee and watch the morning news.  Then comes Regis and Kelly and, by then, I should be in my exercise clothes and turning on the dvd player....should be... Dooit Later has come out of hibernation and taken up residence.  I did t-tapp 18 min to tempo (speeded up) and flat stomach dvd which rounded me up to 30 minutes....speaking of rounding up....I have eaten banana chocolate chip muffins lately like I have been on an island for 39 days...they are homemade, and a Weight Watchers recipe....but still...3 a day?

Sunday...Walking in the Dark

It is Sunday nite, and I am playing blog catch up.  I really should not be so lazy about blogging.  I used to be lazy about exercising, but what is so hard about typing a few words about it?  Maybe it is the typing,  because I am not so good at it.  It is probably more the "discipline" of doing it, having to think of things to say about how I took care of my health today...Tonight my husband and I went for a walk in the dark around the neighborhood.  After Bible study ended at 9 pm I went and got my shoes and announced "we" are going for a walk!  "NOW?....in the dark?" he replied, "sure why not?" she said....and so they went....  I think you walk faster in the dark, either because it is dark, or because it is cold, or....maybe it is a combination of both.

Saturday...

Jumped up out of bed in the morning ready to go for a walk outside around the neighborhood.  I had gone to sleep knowing that I did not fulfill my 30 minute requirement on Friday and so I was ready to get back to the original plan of at least 30 minutes of exercise!  My husband went with me and we went in between Spring rain showers.  It was fun and I made him walk backwards for one whole street!  It works different muscles and we had a race...well, at first I said it was not a race but toward the end I made it into one because I was ahead...

Friday...

Waited again to workout...I went to Deb's house to introduce her to T-Tapp and we worked out doing the basic 15 minutes and then I would pause it and talk about each move and the correct form.  I don't know if it all amounted to 30 minutes of a workout, I highly doubt it, but I waited fully until midnite to see if I was going to chip in and do some more exercise to make it a full legal 30 minutes and as it turned out I just didn't care!  I tossed and turned a little in bed as there was a raging war between "Do-it" and "Don't".  I can't really beat myself up over whether or not it was 30 minutes of exercise, because it was EXERCISE!, plain and simple, I did exercise!   So, I move on and I exercise everyday, it is still a project, it is still better that not doing it at all.

Its Thursday...

I waited again until the evening to fit in my 30 minutes.  I did the basic plus T-Tapp and a 1 mile walk.
