Hi everyone. This morning I was on fire. I am tired of being lumpy and frumpy and told myself I was going out for an hour of cardio even if it killed me, I mean even if I had to walk some of it. Well I didn't walk any. I took the dogs out for 20 min, returned them home and set out again. I just listened to Cardio Coach and away I went. Jogged the whole hour following Sean's instructions (some was quite slow but at least still jogging). I went over 4.6 miles according to my Nike + and burned over 500 calories. And Lance Armstrong came across my IPOD and congratulated me on my longest event. I was standing in my driveway so excited that Lance was talking to me. Ok for those of you who think I have lost my mind, when you use a Nike + adaptor with your IPOD(certain models), it keeps track of your steps and calculates your time and miles. When you accomplish something different (faster speed, longer distance) then a famous athlete's voice comes on and congratulates you. So far I've heard Lance and a woman who I don't know (i think she is famous for volley ball).
Roxie, enjoy your rest day. As for a month off, oh my gosh I wouldn't know what to do. The only time I have had more than a week off from work was when DD was born and that was a total of 7 weeks. One week before and 6 weeks after. And that was over 21 years ago. If I had a month off, I would love to go travel. Of course I would need the money to go with it, so short of winning the lottery, I know it will never happen. I have always wonder how the people who do reality shows do it. Like Survivor and Biggest Loser. How do you take off for months at a time?
Andrea, back to work comes too soon. My DH works 4 days(long days) with 3 days off and it even comes too soon for him. Part of that is because we only have 1 day off together so it makes it hard to fit everything in that one day that we need to get done on our weekend.
Amelia, sharing chinese with your sister is a treat. You have to splurge every once in awhile.
Elaine, glad to hear your ds is doing OK. Hopefully things will stay calm.
Ok, lets get motivated. Be thinking about your challenge for the week and let's post them on Monday.
