Excuse Me?

Its true! I am guilty. I haven't been doing my part in the posting or the working out. The guilt is accepted. But not the procrastination. I was gonna procrastinate but then I decided I could just do that tomorrow. I didn't get a chance to run today, but I did just finish my 150th push up for the day. I don't think that gives me the points I need but getting back up to speed is a slow process. I do plan to run in the morning in chilly Green Bay, Wisconsin. It is supposed to be in the high 40's in the morning. Should be awesome. I need to run extra cause I ate "fried cheese curds" tonight! Fried Cheese Curds holds the Genius Work Record for the largest difference in how good it actually is compared to how good the name makes you think it is. Yuk name but Yum! Yum! They seem like they should be served only at the state fair. Thanks for the kick in the pants Maureen, I am back on the Schedule. Try not to pressure Scott though, cause I think he has some ratio issue based on the physical space between his ears compared to the lack of matter contained in the same space. And yes, that is why he hears everything in an echo - 0 - 0 - 0!

The point of this blog...

... is to guilt us all into working out. The fact that no one is posting should be the GUILT in this equation, people. And, again, I'm not. the. numbers. person.

Just because Scott and Barbara are hosting a slew of family, and just because Keith's busy at work (wait, Keith's not busy at work. He's probably just procrastinating.), doesn't mean you can't be working out! If I were down there in Texas, I'd round you all up and make you go for a bike ride! Now, come on. Post. Make fun. Put others down. You're GOOD at this, people!

OMG!

I swear, I didn't see this comic in the paper today until after my earlier post.

Not a numbers person

I know I'm not the numbers person of the group. But explain to me how this happened...

(secret, I weigh myself religiously every morning before getting in the shower. I just don't post the numbers up here like Scott! So besides not being a numbers person, I'm also not a brave person!)

How could it be that in addition to hitting my goal of 65 points yesterday, I actually did EXTRA working out through a second walk with the dog, and yet, the scale was higher today than it was yesterday morning?

That doesn't exactly help with the motivation today!

My numbers for this morning:

weight 184
Run 10 min(utter lack of motivation)
strength 30 min
abs/stretch 10 min
PU 50

Keith and I have discussed the fact that some days you feel great and some days you just don't have it. Today was a don't have it day. Not sure why. I think I was rested and hydrated. Actually more rested than yesterday but much less motivation. Did have a large meal last night which is a possibility. We'll see how tomorrow morning is. In the meantime, I will be working on my golf game in absolutely perfect, spectacular weather today! Ain't no flies on that...

Tonnage

Here are my numbers . Been sketchy in reporting the past few days. We've had evacuees (barbara's family)from Beaumont due to Ike the past few days so I've been eating extra comfort food in support of the family. Can't seem to get much traction on reducing my tonnage. Focus, focus, focus.

Saturday
183 lbs
run 2 miles 16:12 level.5
strength 30 min
PU 50
abs/stretch 10 min

Sunday
Bike 1hr 10 min (outside some hills)

Tuesday

Bike -spin class 45 min

Nashville

In Nashville this weekend (cross Tennessee off the list of states I've never been to!). Embarrassed with the lack of work out yesterday, but got a good jog in this morning at a park near Vanderbilt. Of course, I've also been eating like perhaps today is my last day on earth (can we say several cup cakes from the bakery across the street?). I also want to know if contending with a mild concussion can count as points on my "miscellaneous" column?

This Week's Cumulative #'s So Far

I do still exist! Spinning 110 minutes, elliptical 62 minutes, upper weights 42 minutes, lower weights 44 minutes, pushups 125 (50 of those were today at the club), and various situps, squats, etc. Hopefully will get to the club tomorrow a.m. early. Katy and Scott and I went to the club this morning, while my other sister said "I hope you enjoy your physical culture! (that is, exercise)". Both sisters are here up from the evacuation from Beaumont because of Hurricane Ike. The rest of my family is okay, but will be without power for WEEKS. I'm hoping if they can get out that the rest of them will come to Dallas. They all filled up with gas before the storm. Conditions are worse than when Rita hit 3 years ago.

My #s for thursday/Friday

I'll be back later with more smack talk!

Do I look like a wide receiver?

I can't seem to get away from football at the high school track.

There was no game going on tonight, so I got a good jog in. But, the quarterback was doing a bit of solo practice in the middle of the field (which the track circles). There was also one other woman jogging on the track.

The quarterback was doing a lot of running and turning, and throwing the ball as far as he could down the field.

At some point, he started to "play" with me and the other jogger. Whenever we'd get to certain points around the track, he'd turn around, run, then spin and fake throw right at us. Like he was trying to guess where we'd end up if we were moving and he was moving and he had to throw the ball to us.

When I told this story to Mike, he said I'd be considered a wide receiver.

Personally, I prefer tight end.
