Exercise: Treadmill, yet again
Ice cream: Turkey Hill Moose Tracks Light, 1/2 cup
Food diary: I got all smiley faces yesterday
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Okay, first of all, what is the use of 1/2 a cup of ice cream? That's less than what I would feed to Keira. Honestly I only ate it because MyFoodDiary.com informed me that I was 151 calories under budget and the serving size of ice cream was 140 calories. And I really couldn't find anything else in the house (that I wanted to eat). Anyway, that 1/2 cup was just enough to make me hungry, so I dug out another mini peanut butter cup out of the carton and called that the extra 11 calories. But I digress --
I need a goal. (Obviously I have lots of goals. E.g.: (1) Raise Keira to be happy and healthy; (2) Acquire the rest of the Anna Sui "Gossip Girl" collection; (3) Try to keep my hair color consistent long enough so that my child doesn't do a double-take when she sees me.) But I need an idea of what I'm working towards with this whole fitness thing. I'm not trying to lose a certain amount of weight, I'm not trying to fit into any kind of faboo dress, and "trying to get healthy" isn't really doing it for me as far as true motivation. Ditching the cellulite that is creeping down my thighs could work but it's not bikini season any more, so who really cares? Besides, I'm never wearing a bikini ever again, but that's another story.
So give me a goal. Should I try to run another race? Should I try something new like a sprint triathlon? I don't know what to do with myself.
And along those lines, what *should* I do with myself? The treadmill, notwithstanding its various programs and options, is getting a little dull. I'm okay with doing it every other morning for the cardio and butt benefits, but I'd like to do something else on the other days. (Plus I hate having to wash and dry my hair every morning, which, after half an hour on the treadmill is inevitable.) What can I do in my house? I have an exercise ball, a yoga mat, some MTV workout videos and Bob's adjustable dumbbell thing.
Who knew that exercise required so much thinking? I don't have time for this!

Run a marathon. Find a cool destination one to train for and make a vacation out of it. Problem solved. You're welcome.
ReplyDeletecan you have your people call my people? let's get you on a plan. i can show you some good exercises with that ball (no jokes please). i think a 5K or a 10K is a good starting goal. also there are a ton of mini triathalons to train for. unfortch, the season is pretty much over so you have a nice long time to train for it. it's something i'm looking into doing myself.
