Sorry, I haven’t had anything up the last couple days. Mike shared his stomach bug with me yesterday, so no workout, but definitely a quick diet plan ;-( Today, the day seems to be slipping away from me as well, and yet at 8:36 pm, I still haven’t found time to make supper. It’s probably one of our worst eating habits that we frequently don’t find supper until 9 or 10 in the evening. If it were up to me I would grab a small sandwich or snack in the evening, but the kids and Mike are usually ready for a larger meal. I usually have an evening appointment so when that’s finished I’m trying to figure out what to cook quick. Now with basketball season, too often it’s hot dogs and nachos at a ball game, or pizza after.
I did get into the cc late this afternoon, and YEAH, I found teammate Debbie getting a tour of the facility. Her son Casey was coming out of the pool and youngest Dillon was in the nursery. Glad to have one more friend to keep me in line while I’m up there. When Debbie caught up with me, I was on the stair climber. I usually just run on manual and turn it up as I want to, but today I stuck it on one of the strength training workouts. 20 minutes of three mountains to climb. I really felt it by the time the 20 minutes were up. I’m not good at talking and doing anything else at the same time, so, sorry, Debbie, I was probably huffing away at you. Then I found my favorite treadmill open so I ran 1 mile to the sounds of TranSiberrian Orchestra. Ok, it was weird music but it definitely was energetic. A little ab workout at the end and I was definitely was ready to go home.
At home, I found both my kids shooting baskets in the Rutland gym. It was nice to know they were getting a little exercise as well. Tomorrow morning we GET to start our day at 6:30 swimming. Mike is SO excited.
I did sign up for the indoor “Try a Triathalon” at the end of February. It’s a shorter version of the triathalon we did in April, and it’s all inside. 6 laps in the pool, 6 miles on a stationary bike, and 1.5 miles on the treadmill. So, here’s your suggestion for the day: Pick a goal that you can accomplish in the next month to six weeks. Choose something that is not a weight loss goal, because well, we all have those goals, and it’s too easy for weight goals to be out of our controls. Maybe it’s running your first mile on the treadmill without stopping, swim forty laps in the pool, or maybe try the triathalon with me, or complete the entire Biggest Loser dvd workout plan. Pick something that has a definite beginning and an end, and then start working at it. Plan your time around accomplishing your goal. Let someone else in on your goal so you have someone who helps to encourage you. Then make sure when you reach your achievement, you reward yourself, and also, let us know, so we can cheer you on.
