Half Moon

I remember a place in California called Half Moon Bay.  It was a quaint little place with shops, beaches, and seafood eateries.  The moon tonight was a beautiful half moon with a golden amber color and my mind thought about Half Moon Bay.  I have been so many places in my life, someday I should sit down and list them all.  I liked Half Moon Bay beacause it was small, and I like small places where you can get to know the shops and the people.  I have gotten to know my neighborhood pretty well.  I have seen each home in the daytime and the night.  I may not know the people on a first name basis but I could put faces with houses.  I have seen their yards in the daytime and their living rooms in the evenings, I could also tell them if their sprinklers are working and hitting the grass.  You can get a pretty good idea of their sprinkler system in the evenings while doing a 30 minute walk jog.

Another Sunday Stroll

I had to put my son on a plane back to North Carolina at 8 am and I had to drag myself through the rest of the day.  Sleeping is a way to shut off the emotions, so, sleeping was my "drug" of choice.  I waited until the sun went down and cooled the air to announce I was going for a walk.  My husband has left the Insanity workout for 2 weeks and so I knew if I invited him to walk with me he would go.  Walking is so much easier than the insanity of Insanity!  We went for a Sunday stroll and had a nice time talking about life.

Sad Saturday

It is a sad, sad, Saturday... My son came home for a visit from the Marines and it is the night before he has to go back.  He did a lot of prepapation for returning, cleaning his room and laundry, such a good squared Marine!  But I tried to stay busy with my own chores just to avoid going down to his room to sit on his bed and watch him clean up his room.  He would have thought that was totally weird of me but I wanted to get my "eyes full of him", before he left again.  He is such a handsome and mature 22 year old man with green eyes and I just adore him so.  Needless to say, I did not want to leave the house at all so I waited until 11 pm to go out for a walk/jog.

Friday Half-n-Half

I did a half-n-half.  I went over to the small workout facility during my lunch hour, to see if I could squeeze in a few minutes of exercise and to test out how sweaty I would get.  I really only had 50 minutes so I walked on the treadmill for 15 minutes at about a 3-4 miles per hour pace.  I wished I could have gone longer but by the time I walked over there and got my shoes on and got on the treadmill, I only had 15 to spare.  I did work up a small sweat, nothing to write home about, but I knew if I went any longer it would have been a tsunami of sweat.  Then about 5 minutes used up getting back into my work shoes and across the parking lot and to the cafeteria.  It left me about 20 minutes to eat.  Good thing I only had a salad...I finished up my other 15 minutes at home later in the evening with pilates and stretching.

Forced

I stayed after work to get my e-mail sorted out and filed or deleted.  I recieve about 70 e-mails a day and some of them pertain to the phone center where I work, and the rest are sent from other depts and I just need to delete them.  By the time I got all of it done it was 5:30 and I just wanted to go home but I knew if I did it wouldn't get done right away.  So I forced myself into the gym.  I forced myself to do the elliptical machine for 45 minutes and it was tough.  I came right home and ate ice cream for dinner.  I know,... it does not make any sense to me either....

Two Miler

This is my posting for yesterday, because when I came home my son was on the computer, well really he was on his x-box with a connection to the internet.  So, on with the post... nothing exciting... I did a two mile walk run,...mostly running

Double Whammy

Today I did a double whammy.  I whammed it up one side and down the other.  First, I whammed it up with Jillian's Shred Level 2 and then I whammed it up again with a 2 mile mostly jogging, sometimes walking workout.  I am feeling kinda like a pot roast and potato dish, the one I consumed last night with 3 pieces of french bread slathered with butter.  Tonight, we ate out at the Mission Bistro and I opted for the salmon but again had a tuscan roll with butter.....when will it all end?   Tomorrow is Garretts birthday, and we will eat out again.... is there a light at the end?
