Adventures in Life and Writing

Aside from being bad and not working on my writing…  I’ve been good in that I’m finishing craft projects and I’m starting to exercise more.

Since I cleaned up my room, I’ve moved my laptop back upstairs so now I work from my room.  This means I have to go down the stairs anytime I want to eat, so I’m making a sort of game out of it.  I have sheet next to my desk with tally marks.  Everytime I go iown and come back up the stairs I make a mark.  The goal is 10 a day. It may not seem like a lot, but when I did Leslie Sansone’s Walk Away your Waistline DVD, my calves started killing me after just one mile.  Not to mention I’m usually running up and down the stairs when I do them.

That also brings me to the walking!  I went for a walk twice last week and then did the DVD with my mom.  We have plans to do the DVD again tonight and then hopefully we’ll go walking at least two or three times during the rest of the week.

Aside from that, I snagged the extra 2.5 and 5 pound weights that I’m doing arm exercises with.  And since the 2.5 pound ones have straps it makes it really easy to hold multiple weights together when I need some extra weight to lift.

I also found out how weak I’ve become from not working out regularly.  Time to buff up and tone these flabby arms!

I’m also going to try and add an ab workout at least once a week.  I have many options to choose from, which include just doing a variety of situps, using the abs ball, and various other workout DVDs we own.
