Get Off the Couch and Pick Up Your Weights!

Okay, fine!

Done.

Add to my walk tonight and my day of exercise will be complete.

I am trying to add pages to my blog. I managed to get my home page tab up... Now to figure out how to add others. I would like to do a photo page and a couple of others. All in it's good time. I'll figure it out.

Diet Sunkist... OMG! Happiness in a little aluminium can. I love orange soda. I don't drink it often, it is one of those things that I really need to have a real taste for, then I slurp. I was craving orange soda and Son happened to bring home a couple of Diet Sunkist orange sodas. I have slurped both of them this this afternoon. I don't drink a lot of soda, anymore. I am sticking more to water and Crystal Light. The Diet Sunkist was a nice treat.

I owe pictures in another four pounds. Eeeek! *throws camera out the window* lol

Get Off Your Arse and Walk!

Walking. It isn't an option. It is mandatory. My inner voice now tells me, at that time of day to get ready, lace on my walking shoes, put a bottle of water in my bottle bag and get out to the lake and walk.

So I do.

Now, I need to get the voice telling me that it is time to grab my little weights and work with them, as well. I need to make working with weights as much a part of my day as my walks. And the only way that is going to happen is to just frakking do it, already. Not make it a maybe, or an option. It has to become mandatory.

We went out to the lake and did two miles. I actually felt ready to go some additional distance but Husband wasn't into it, tonight and I couldn't ask him to wait around for me to do it on my own. (Please, don't ask.) Perhaps tomorrow. :D

Food was good today, as well. Calories were 1245. Hydration is adequate. I can do better.

Okay, 'nuff boring on for one day. Erika out.

BYOC Challenge ~~Day 2

In my BYOC last Friday I upped doing something to help my health and weight loss for one day to two, just for my own benefit. My challenge was to do work with light weights twice, this week.

Challenge met for the second day. I did all my arm exercises with one pound weights, added another exercise and more reps.

My house is clean and sparkling, pets cared for, load three of laundry is in the washer and I am now chilling under an air vent and watching my fucking ankles and feet swell. Bleargh! My feet are up and I am pounding water. Fat lot of good it is doing me.

I am so sick of this shit.

Seriously. It's bad enough to be fat. Why do I also have these swelly, puffy, nasty ankles and feet? I have been dealing with this since just before puberty and I am over it. *sigh*

Okay, I wasn't supposed to complain and whine, today. That went well. :p

It is very humid and the clouds are rapidly building and I have been hearing some thunder. I love thunderstorms. If it rains hard and soaks the trails out at the lake, we will just walk the sidewalks out on Willow Creek Road. You have to have a back up plan, dude. :D

BYOC Challenge ~~ Monday

Soooo... I promised in my BYOC Challenge to do light weight work on my arms today and Wednesday.

Well, I almost forgot. But I did get it done. I did bicep curls, shrugs, triceps thingies (don't know the name but do know the exercise) and rows. I used one pound weighted gloves and worked for about ten minutes. I plan to slowly increase number of reps, sets, weight and frequency.

I am a little sore, already but I feel good, too. I got nice and warm and lightly sweaty. And I am glad that I didn't bail on this part of my challenge.

And that you all won't be landing on my doorstep with wet spaghetti noodles. ;)

It is humid, today. Rapidly clouding up, too. I wonder if we are going to get rained on while we are out walking, tonight. That should make Husband happy. He thinks that he will melt like a cake in Macarthur Park if he is outside when it starts raining.

What a wuss! lol
