Catch Up and Stir it Up

To catch up all my loyal readers (all 2 of you, hahahahahaha) my exercise program is progressing. No, I did not exercise at 5:00 am on Monday morning, but I did try. Yes, Sunday evening, I got out my old VHS tape of "Yoga in the A.M." I also went searching for my yoga mat. The last time I saw it, I believe it was in my closet. But after cleaning out my closets earlier this year, I believe, it might have been taken upstairs to the attic. The last time I remember doing Yoga was..... well, perhaps the VHS tapes speak for themselves. Let's just say that DVD was not an option at Walmart that year. Not sure Walmart was even an option.

Anyway, the yoga mat was not found, but I figured I would be OK on the laminate flooring - it's not too slippery. With that I went to bed.... forgetting to set my 5:00 alarm. Ugh! My usual alarm went off at 5:30, but I figured it was still early enough to get in a 30 minute workout of Yoga considering I don't usually get up at 5:30 in the morning anyway. I consider the 5:30 alarm to be my warning - WARNING! WARINING! 6:00 is coming pretty soon.

So - I padded out to put my VHS tape in my player and you won't believe it, but it would not work. Seriously, I pushed the tape in and the DVD/VHS player spit it out. I pushed it in and it spit it out. Over and over again. You know the definition of insanity, right? Doing the same thing, but expecting different results? Well, I didn't know what else to try, so after 6 or 7 pushes. I realized that exercise was not to be. Darn!

However, Tuesday night after work, I did put on my walking shoes and out the door I went. 35 minutes later, I walked in the front door, opened up a Coors Lite and sat down to watch The Biggest Loser. Yeah, man, I'm living the life!!!! Don't you know it!!!!!!

Tonight, there was not time for exercise. I had to buy spray paint for my 17 year old daughter. Kids can't buy spray paint these days. No Sudafed either. It's a shame. Anyway, she is dressing like a nerd for Friday's Spirit Day and so she needed some Purple Spray Paint. You put it all together - Nerd, Purple? Not so sure, but she's more creative than I am. Anyway, I didn't get home until 6:45 and was already late for my 6:30 Book Study.

So, I have exercised 2 times this week. That's a 50% success rate. There's room for growth there.

So much for catching up - let's talk stir it up, shall we?

The book study is on Women Food and God. I was fairly certain that any issues with Food were long gone in my past, but hey, I'll be part of the group and attend anyway. WRONG!!!!!! I felt stirred up and churned up, and I'm thinking I might still have a few eating and food issues left inside me. Well, at least a lot of that stuff that can surface into food issues - you know that pain and shame goo. So, I don't get out if this study so easily. It appears to be, perhaps, another growth opportunity for me (said with a touch of sarcasm). Grow, grow, grow.

Namaste
