Couldn't resist, so close. How are we all doing today? Thank you again for the always wonderful comments on my journal.
After I posted that journal I decided to make ya'll proud and get my gym time out of the way, so off to the gym I went. I did twenty five minutes on the elliptical, then I ran a mile on the treadmill, and cooled down. All in all about an hour of gym activity. (It's two dollars an hour for tot watch, and I'm not buying two lol) I ran my mile in just under fourteen minutes, which included a few minutes of walking to warm up. Ran at 4.7mph, a new best for this chic. I'm glad I went first thing, as it was easier to go while my husband was still at work, and I felt very accomplished for the rest of the day.
Spent the majority of my afternoon on cleaning up the house, then we did some shopping. We have a Kmart that is going out of business, stopped there and got a good deal on some new shoes for the kiddos. I also got a ten pound dumbbell so I can start doing some upper body workouts I've found on pinterest. I can do a lot with a kettle bell, but I'm super excited to add some dumbbell moves as well.
Which reminds me, I pinned this picture of a girl doing a push up, then reaching to the sky with one arm turning her body vertically to the sky. I wanted to start training so I could do that difficult looking task... gave it a try and as It turns out I can already do that lol. So this got me thinking, what else am I holding myself back from because I still *think* that I'm not strong enough. Interesting, right? To infinity... and beyond!
Click here to see the push up thing I did lol - It's number 6 in the listI have discovered how to add URLs to this journal, how do you folks add pictures??
Nothing special going on today, visiting family and then hopefully spending a quiet evening at home. I hope you all have a wonderful day :-)
Oh, and I also wanted to mention that I stumbled across that bolthouse yogurt dressing and picked up a bottle of salsa ranch... OMG, delicious. Thank you guys for sharing that yummy little secret with me!
