Who cares what day it is?

"There are flowers everywhere, for those who bother to look." -Henri Matisse

I remember how bad I felt in Florida in 2000. Boy, did I feel bad. Every part of my body hurt, especially my feet. I was unhappy with my job, had just moved to a new city where it was HOT and humid all the time, and I was just plain yuck. The good news is that I have vowed to NEVER look like this again! Why not? Because it feels gross and it looks gross in the mirror. Besides, my feet couldn't withstand cute high heels in this bod.

I'm on my way. Today I walked the dog, then worked out at the house. I got on my little stepper, turned on the FitChannel (just for kicks) to watch and laugh while I did my own thing. I was feeling like some leg work today, so I did some squats and lunges while flailing my arms around to get my heart rate up at the same time. Oh, what fun. After 25 minutes, I hit the floor, did some leggy side raise thingies till it burned, then stretched it all out. I'm not thinking about what I'm doing, I just did something before I could talk myself out of it. And it's over with for today! I've done my exercise for today and I'm done till tomorrow!!!

Who knows what day it is?

It's been too long since I've posted!  I've been up and down (mostly down over the holidays).  The last few weeks have looked a little better, though.  I've been jumping on my little stepper at home for 30 minutes a few times a week.  I'll grab my little hand weights and do some curls or overhead presses with them for about 15 minutes while I'm stepping.  

Well, it might not feel like much, but it's in my zone for now.  I'll feel stiff the morning after a workout, so I know it's better than nothing.  

I'm so hard on myself for not keeping up my Xena level of fitness.  That's OK, right now, I just know that I'm doing a little bit and that's good enough for me!!
