Boring Bike Ride

You may be wondering how a bike ride could be boring, it was on my stationary bike in my bedroom.  Granted it was in front of a tv, yet, I get kind of bored with my arms moving back and forth, what does that really do for your arms anyway?  I need to drag my "real" bike out of the garage soon and take it for a ride someplace.   This is a really dangerous time of year for me...lots of people are having Garage Sales.  I ALMOST bought a treadmill the other day at a Boy Scout Sale, it was for a good cause, but I could not figure out what room to put it in....maybe when Marshall moves out.....

Snap Crackle, Aaaaahhh......

I did a T-Tapp Tempo workout, the whole enchilada, a total workout in 40 minutes!  I haven't done T-tapp for a week (except for Saturday's workshop).  It felt good to stand in one place with correct spinal alignment.  I think I did my own chiropractic adjustments while doing several of the movements....aaaahh

Keeping Up

I am keeping up with the blogging!,...who knew this would be the difficult part at this stage of the game.  Speaking of this stage of the game I noticed I am nearing the 100 day mark!  I will feel so relieved to see 99 days.  I think I will break out in the song "99 Bottles of Milk on the Wall" and, yes, the word milk was intentional....you all know "milk does a body good"....I wonder if there is a tee-shirt out there with that slogan on it...that would be funny!  Anyway, I did my body some good today, by doing weight loss yoga.

Ta-Dah Tuesday!

Got up early this morning to exercise (that's the ta-dah part) because I had a hair appointment at 9 am and I knew that if I did not" knock it out" this morning I would not want to do it after work tonight.  I am feeling a little stiff and achy in certain places from yesterday.  I decided that today would just be a 2 mile walk and that would be just fine for all the body parts involved!

Marathon Monday

I went out for a walk today and wore my heart monitor and felt like I was going to walk and run for 2 miles.  I would watch my heart rate go up and down and judge the running time and walking time according to the heart rate beats per minute.  However, when I got started I got busy watching the bpm and the time it took for it to go out of range and back into range.  I did my walk/jog in about 25 minutes and I felt pretty good, so I went around again!  Another 2 miles, only this time I did 1 minute of walking and 1 minute of jogging staying strictly to that schedule.  Total distance was 4 miles and it took about 45 minutes.

Survior Sunday

Got up and went to church.  It was puppet Sunday and we had a skit to do for the children.  I came home from Church and contemplated, from the couch, doing my workout.  The consensus was I did not want to break out in a sweat because I wanted to go back in the evening for Graduating Senior Sunday.  It was a special service featuring the teenagers who are graduating from High School.  My son was one of them and he did not want to participate, but two of his friends Sydnee, and Matt, did participate and I went to support them.  It was a little heartbreaking that I did not assemble anything on behalf of Marshall, despite his unwillingness to be there.  I was there and I wished he had made the effort to be there for his friends.  After Church it was time for the season finale of Survivor Heros vs. Villians and Sandra, a villian, won.  This is a 2 hour show including and hour of the After show where they chat about all the awful things they do and say to each other.  When this all was over it was 11:00 pm, and time to exercise!!!!... yeah...I did the total gym and went to bed.

T-Tapp Workshop

This was a T-Tapp workshop in Liberty Lake that I assembled.  It was from 10am-Noon with a certified trainer from Idaho.  It was so much fun and sweaty!  I met some new people and I hope that we can come together again in the future.  It was great to see, in 3-D, the postures used and align my body the same as the trainers.  We had lots of laughter and fun doing a 15 minute workout in 2 hours time.
