A Critical Time
|
First of all it is raining AGAIN! I don't mind the rain, but it has been raining here non stop for a couple of weeks. This is unusual for us. Normally the last two weeks of July and the first 2 weeks of August are the hottest weeks of summer and then we start to transition into fall. This year, the grass is vibrantly lush green. I pout when I can't get out on the boat with Jim. Summers here in Canada are too short as it is! |
So I am feeling a little sluggish and blue this morning. I have decided that I need to step up the exercise. My life is in front of my laptop 14 hours a day. The little bit of exercise I am doing is not going to get me fit, and it isn't going to help me lose weight. I need to move more. SO today is the start. It will be treadmill AND bicycle every day as well as weights.
I personally should be exercising 3 hours every day. Now I do not mean that 3 hours needs to be strenuous gut wrenching nauseatingly difficult. HOWEVER, I don't move at all, so it needs to be at least an hour of strength training and real exercise, and at least 2 hours of just moving.
Last night we went out for supper. I had a stir fry on a bed of rice. The rice I only had a few mouthfuls of. It was good, I was just not hungry by the time I ate all the vegetables and chicken. It was done in a teriyaki sauce and was tasty but I was aware of it being a little greasy as well. Of course we were in a tavern, so I wasn't complaining. Any place that sells draught beer by the pitcher is not likely going to have a cordon bleu trained chef on staff! LOL
I don't have much in the way of motivation for you today. I am simply going to buckle down. I have my eating controlled, and now it is time to get the exercise regimen under control.
I caught sight of myself in the full sized mirror in the ladies room last night. My shock at what I saw should be motivation enough! :-)

Hi! Many people have been complaining about getting too much rain lately; however, here in Pennsylvania we haven’t been getting enough. Think you could mail me some? ;-)
