I gotta work out. I keep saying it all the time. I keep saying I gotta start working out. It's been about two months since I've worked out. And I just don't have the time. Which uh..is odd. Because I have the time to go out to dinner. And uh..and watch tv. And get a bone density test. And uh.. try to figure out what my phone number spells in words. ~ Ellen DeGeneres
Ellen DeGeneres is hilarious! I worked out this afternoon after a three-week break from my Pilates class. I think I hurt my back somehow. Drat!! I will require a soak in a hot bath before this evening is done. It was only yesterday that I had a massage to make me feel great. Oh well! Such is life. Maybe Tai Chi will help on Monday, too.
Why is it that many of us avoid working out? I am doing this 40-day Change Your Habits, Change Your Life program. I did better on vacation last week than I am doing now that I am back home. What is up with that? Like Ellen, I find I have time to do things like stare at the ceiling, watch TV, think about exercise, search online to book a Pilates class, and check out the Groupon discounts for new exercise places, but do I actually do it? Well, that is another story. Though I must admit I did buy a 20-visit pass from TeamBuy for a new-to-me gym for body sculpting and that might inspire me. Does that mean that it is an art class or a workout class though? I was not completely sure.
I am doing better in other areas of the 40-day challenge. I find I am sleeping an average of 7 hours now which is great. Sometimes I even make it to 8 hours. I am eating more fruits which is a big thing for me, as I tend to consume my veggies but not enough fruits. I am drinking more water. I am eating fiber for breakfast which is one of the suggestions. I am trying to eat less in the last three hours of my day.
I am wavering on the empty calories though. Darn addiction to sugar! Of course, those girl guides had to show up at my door this evening. Be prepared! Just say no—how do you say no to kids dressed up in their cute little camp outfits? Besides my back pain was crying out for comfort. I have not quite devoured half a box since I bought them two hours ago.
Hey, I wonder what my phone number spells in words?
Peace,
Suzanne
