RE: Tough love!
That's a big step, Shelley! But you know what they say, "A moment on the lips, forever on the hips." Have you ever wondered who "They" really are? "They" say so many things and so often the ones you don't wany to hear.
I've always thought the best desserts are the ones that aren't lying about, sending out temptation vibes. If they manage to sneak themselves in, pitching them is a good alternative to letting them tempt you into even a taste. I thought I heard chocolate calling to me last night but it turns out I was hallucinating. My husband knocked off my dark chocolate stash, the dog. He only consents to eat dark chocolate when the milk I buy for him to keep him out of mine is gone and it's gone very quickly. I buy twice as much milk chocolate for them and never ever get to finish my hoard. I guess that's not a bad thing but it is really icky the way he eats one after another and keeps going back for more. AND he weighs the same as he did when I met him.
You added a kilometer! That's wonderful! You know whats even more wonderfal? Extra kilometers AND uneaten brownies! There's a formular for sucess in meeting goals and don't you feel great? You should!
Yesterday, with today having the potential to push me off the deep end, I considered that it might simplify my life to run. KickMax, while fabulous, means pulling out my mats; I have 12 of the interlocking gray mats that make working out on tile possible and then there the steps and risers. (I have 18 risers and I have never been able to find a way to use all of them. I have tried to give them away with an extra step and had them returned to me each of the 3 times and never made a Cathe convert, if you can believe THAT?) Anyway, I can't put down my mats and set up my step until the couch and end tables are moved aside and it's a pain in the derriere. Induces much sighing and a generally bad attitude although I used to consider it bonus work.
I have a brand new pair of running shoes I bought months ago and have never used in spite of the realization I have to start sometime. If I dropped the kids off at school and came home and dusted off some running gear, I could be done inside an hour without having to put furniture back and dismantle equipment. it's been awhile but it's been on my mind and I think today is the day! I mentioned that to my husband and his eyebrows shot up.
And now you've mentioned that you ran and ran and it does have such a nice ring to it. Minus the hills!
