Move Your Boggie Body

This is to help all of us be more motivated to reach and keep our health and fitness goals. I just want the leotard....

Keeping deamons in check.

I don't think you ever really break a bad habit. I think you just learn how to cope with them and keep them under control. With that said, I've felt like I've been batteling my bad habits for my life the last few days. I don't know why. I don't think that today has been all that bad, but it hasn't been great either. Scarlett O'Hara once said, "Tomorrow is another day!", but I think I use that excuse too much. I need to tell myself that while tomorrow is another day, you are living in today and will have to deal with today's choices tomorrow, so it's best to just leave today where it's at, the here and now.

I've also been thinking about a conversation I had with a very good friend the other night. We had, had a girls dinner party at her house and I was the last one to leave. She and I began to talk about my weigh loss and about some of the others in our group who were all on WW. As she was asking me how I was doing on my program she saked me how I had, had to change my life.

The changes have come in many ways. For one thing, I had to confront my food demonds and figure out why I was eating all the time. I think I was and am like that is because I feel like there is not much to do with my life. I know today I have felt pretty useless and have therefore been so tempted to eat all day. I've fallen a bit, but withheld as well. I gave in to the PBJ craving and skipped the ramen noodles.

It's a constant battle, here's to keeping the demon in check for another 24 hours.

Eulogy for a bike

Good bye excercise bike. You served us well as you took us to nowhere. You went and went and went, and yet you stayed in the same place. Saturday night when you fell apart, it was sad for us. But more than that, it was sad to have to clean up the mess your untimely demise left. Now you're going to a better place--the dump. Have a nice time there with the bugs, crows and garbage. We won't miss you too much, because we've already replaced you. No, we have no shame or loyalty, we're just that shallow. And in a million years when some archeologist digs you up and wonders what you were, we'll look down from heaven and laugh at you--because you were a bike that went nowhere.

I feel like a woman--a snow woman!

I get extra points today for walking...in the SNOW!

Ya, the snow. It's been absolutly lovely the past three weeks here, but today a sorm decided to move in. I walked out and then had to walk back in and dig my scarf, mittens and coat out of the closet.

The snow which was snowing was not a wet snow--more like styrofoam beanbag bi-bi's, so I pressed on and finished the walk, and stopped and did an additional two laps around the park, which added 1/2 a mile to my walk.

I will say this, I need to really dig thru my vast collection of CDs--there are hundreds at this point, and remember what I have. I put "The Corrs--In Blue" and "Shania Twain--Come On Over" (Man! I feel like a Woman!) on the MP3--which make my snow walk extra great today!

Here's hoping for no more snow--till November. Happy Walking!
