Still Kickin...

Kick Kick Kick the pig! I don't know why I don't do it enough... Getting started is the hard part. Once I'm into it... I roll!

Still looking for some sort of motivation. Maybe I'll order a fitness magazine. That would help me refocus at least once per month.

Small Streaks

I've made a small streak of three days with exercise. I'm trying to focus on establishing the routine more than the intensity right now. Maybe if I think I HAVE to run on the treadmill it is a dreadful thought, but if I just need to walk on it for say 20 minutes... it's easier on my mind. PLUS I ran some too yesterday and today AND I extended an additional 5 minutes just because I was feeling good! See how easy that is!

Notably, it is time for my 6 month lab check to see how my cholesterol is doing. After my last visit with the doc, she prescribed some Omega-3's but they are ultry expensive! Like over $165!!!! My insurance doesn't cover them - yet. I'm hoping maybe sometime soon they will. So because it was not cost-effective, I got some over the counter Omega-3's at the drug store. They give me heartburn and make me burp fish- YUK!!!! I threw them out!

So if the little bit that I was taking actually DID make any difference, then maybe I'll spring for the expense and take just one per day or every other day instead of 2 or 3 per day. As long as that is okay with doc.... We shall see.

Remind me to call for a lab slip! And while I'm at it I'm going to ask her if there is anything I can do to effectively increase my ability to FOCUS! I'm telling you I am somewhere between ADD and OCD... maybe a little of both!

I NEED to lose my double chin! Focus is my problem. I am really really good for a while and then I lose focus and have to start all over. Anyone know some good remedies for KEEPING focused? I've GOT to find some!

Sing it... Back In The Saddle Again!!!

YES - I exercised today! I'm running and walking half and half for 20 minutes with a 5 minute warmup and 5 minute cool-down. This is accompanied by some pre and post stretching, 3 sets of crunches, and some simple weight training. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh... It feels so good!

God meets me at the treadmill. He is my workout partner! I love it!!! Where do you go to meet God? Do you have a special place? A special time?
