Hi all, just checking in from work. My walking buddy had to attend a class today so I took my I-pod and walked by myself. Actually, it was kind of nice to listen to some music and not have to talk. Glad I went, it is suppose to rain later on tonight and all day tomorrow!
Elle: Good for you for being able to come to a compromise and get a 30 minute workout out of a 70 minute one! I have times when I will be so tired after work I will at least try to do at least 20 minutes just so I don’t beat myself up all night with guilt for missing a workout. I think that is why I have such an incentive to keep up with my daily lunch walks—so in the event I work late or if something comes up when I get home, I have at least done something on my exercise agenda and won’t let the guilt get to me.
I am right there with you in spirit when you say you need to change your way of thinking. Right now, I am in awe of everyone here who is doing these 60 and 70 minute workouts and tough ones at that—I’m still struggling with trying to complete a 45 minute workout and I have to stop several times during it!
Good for you with joining WW—let me know how it goes!
Walkingchick: Great job on Step Blast—you have reason to be proud of yourself! It’s always nice to be able to see progress! And, congratulations on your son graduating from preschool – seems like time flies by so fast and before you know it, you will be attending his high school graduation!
I agree with you, as far as I am concerned, the entire summer could be like yesterday—warm, but not too hot and definitely NO HUMIDITY!!!
I think I will try getting up in the morning one day this week and see if I can handle getting my workout done. I’m with you, I like to get things done and out of the way, but the older I get the tougher it seems to be to keep that mentality, at least when it comes to doing my workouts. Maybe I just need to get into the habit of getting up earlier than normal and doing it – they say it takes 21 days to form a habit. . .
I was looking at CTX on Cathe’s site – I like the fact that they show segments of each portion of the video and you don’t get just a 30 second blip. Aren’t there like 8 different routines on 2 dvd’s? That would be awesome and should last me for a while. I may be joining you and buying it while it is still on sale.
Well, guess I better get back to work. I will try to check in later tonight once I get my workout out of the way.
