Kinda Cranky

I woke up kinda cranky today and I did not want to exercise, but I knew that a little session of ttapp would not hurt me and may even lift my mood.  So, I doned the necessary clothing (step 1), set up the tv and dvd player (step 2), and popped open the dvd drawer....this is where I have to decide, commit, make a choice about what I want to do (step 3).  I looked over all the exercise dvd's I have collected and the one that seems to GIVE me energy and wash away the "crankies" is t-tapp.  I decided on the 18 minute basic workout (same as yesterday) with a 12 minute "Leslie walk". Oh, and by the way, I feel better....

Hey!... Its a Miracle!

Now, don't get too excited...I am just really glad I exercised and blogged about it all in the same day!  I was getting a little lazy about it (blogging).  I will admit it is so much better to get it done in the morning and not have to worry about it for the rest of the day and night.  I did ttapp basic plus tempo series, it is an 18 minute workout, so I added a 12 minute walk to it, making it a slim and trim 30 minutes!

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...
