Official Vacation Results - A Flop

Hi.  I hope you're all having a nice weekend. It's very, very cold here, 25 degrees right now.  We got a little snow yesterday, just a couple of inches.  Makes me want to cuddle up with the newspaper and just hang out today and not get anything done, but I've got A LIST, and must be finished by 4:30 gametime.  Go Eagles!

Sorry.  Got a little distracted for a second.

Anyway, on to my topic.  Went to my meeting and weigh-in yesterday, with not such good results, but I expected it.  I gained almost 4 pounds.  There.  I admitted.  Now that that's out of the way, I have to say although I'm frustrated now at what I did not accomplish over my vacation, I'm confident in what I can accomplish now, which is it to get back to where I want to be. 

That starts with one big thing.  Even though it's Sunday, my intention is to get a workout in.  Even though my whole body is aching right now, my intention is to get a workout in.  Even though I have a lot of cleaning, putting away Christmas, cooking, that kind of stuff to do, my intention is to get a workout in.  Even though I have some work that I should do for my job, my intention is to get a workout in.

What will that be?  Well, I have options!  Don't we all?  We all have options as far as activity goes every single day.  Yeah, it's cold, but if I dress warm, I could go for a walk.  I could throw my gym clothes together and even though it's not a normal thing for me to do on a Sunday, I could go to the gym and run on the treadmill.  I could just head down into the dark and dreary basement and get on that beautiful elliptical that hardly ever gets used.  I could put the Christmas tree away so I have more room and work with my hoops. 

The question really is when do I want to get my workout in and which one will I pick.  Hmmm, think I better get some breakfast and finish my coffee. 

What's your favorite go-to workout when you really need to push yourself back into activity?

  2. Hope so, Marisa. :) Got
    30-minute workout in on the elliptical. Hopefully, I'll get to the gym tomorrow and Tuesday, skating on Wednesday, gym on Thursday and maybe that will kick it into high gear. Of course, that all depends on the weather.

    I did follow the program after we got home, but I guess it wasn't enough to offset the damage I did on vacation, and most of that was while I was in the car!

  3. Thinking of you today, Reen!!!! I had to mosey on over to your blog to say hello.

    The 4 pounds will be gone before you know it. You're too sassy to keep those suckers around! :)

    Been in a rough spot for a few days but starting to feel better.
