Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
Let's get the boring excersise stuff out of the way - slow week. Too much on the TV (DNC convention) to allow for proper aerobic time with the Wii. But I did keep up with the weights 4 nights. Still feeling good, but I feel like I need to trun it up a notch this... Continue Reading →
Had to go off the schedule with this video. Home made by a Daily Kos member and I think it is so brilliant. Much like Al Gore had to walk a fine line as far as campaigning with Clinton or creating distance (long term analysis is that creating distance hurt him), McCain has a similar... Continue Reading →
Another great week for weights. 6 full routines. I actually lost count of how many reps I am doing. A minimum of 200, but possibly more. I've been doing them in two stages with some stretching in between. And you know what? Just as happened when I was quite dedicated about going to Curves, my... Continue Reading →
More focus on the arms. Still feeling good and strong. Some pedaling, walking and gardening kept the aerobics up. A pretty good week overall. Now for the book: Bleachers by John Grisham My review rating: 4 of 5 stars I read this on the flight to Austin two weeks ago. Totally up my alley since... Continue Reading →
My 4lb hand weights. I've had them for AGES. I honestly have no idea when I got them - pre Sportsboy I think! But this is the first year that they have gotten regular use. If I keep this up, I may graduate to 5 lbs weights! I upped the reps I do and added... Continue Reading →
A great week (finally!) when I met all my goals by Friday. Not only did I make it through an avg of 5-20 mins aerobic sessions, but I also increased my arm weight reps from 150 per routine to 180 during two of them. After 2 hours of yard work mostly trimming way overgrown shrubs... Continue Reading →
IF my weekly goal was 2 - 30 min aerobic routines and 3 strength routines, I would meet it every week. But I should be doing 5 - 20 min routines so I keep falling short. I have caught up enough at work to be able to join the daily walks so that will help.... Continue Reading →
Do any other cat owners have one of these? I call him Bathroom Cat. He can frequently be found either in the shower or else on the floor in front of the shower. Mostly in it though. Always in my bathroom too. More oftne than not when I go in there to use it, he... Continue Reading →
Did a much better job moving this week. I would have met my aerobic goal if it had not been so hot yesterday! But, high 80s inside the house is not the best time to try pedalling 😉 I did pedal 2 other times though and used the hand weights 5 times. Sportsboy leaves Wed... Continue Reading →
Greed: Low Gluttony: Low Wrath: Low Sloth: Low Envy: Very Low Lust: Very Low Pride: Very Low Take the Seven Deadly Sins Quiz LOL - how I did not end up with Sloth being higher I do not know!! I had a shot at gluttony with the car question (since mine is considered a luxury... Continue Reading →
