A wonderful day off

Started out with one of my favorite workouts, walking and jogging intervals at the track, been doing 2.25 miles down there. It comes out to 10 times around the track. I jog on the corners and my goal is to be able to jog one time around the complete track by the end of summer. Just one time! Today was not a good workout however, it just didn't feel good. Think I went to early without enough water in my system. Legs, and joints just didn't feel like working, it was just harder than usual.

We planted flowers, played in the pond and took a ride with the top down to eat a quick bite with my family.

A wonderful day off, back to work tomorrow. All too soon though.

Abundant Sunshine

Happy Days are here again! I am off, there is abundant sunshine, high around 70, its 43 now and I am planting flowers, flowers, and more flowers! Will be outside this entire day, no housework here today! I am decorating the outside!

55 degrees stinks

It is really hard to believe how cold it has been this spring, so far it shows no signs of changing. I planted flowers today in pots and had to move them back under the carport for fear of frost getting them. Had to bundle up in sweatshirt and pants out there to even plant them. 55 degrees the middle of May is a bit hard to deal with.

I've been studying today, stayed up last night studying too for the first time in a long time. Have been slacking on those books, just not enough hours in the day. Took the books out by the pond to relax for a while, it felt great. I'm reading right now about the joints, and muscles. This book is a real butt kicker. Will be glad to get these next two done and onto the nutrtion and healthy eating that is coming up next. I wonder sometimes if I really should have done just the personal trainer instead of the nutrition and fitness expert too, but guess there is no hurry to get it done. I just want to learn it all and it seems to be taking forever sometimes. Guess I'll get there eventually.

Relay is coming up next month, they moved it to June this year instead of July which cuts us short a month on fundraising, plus they are doing it Friday from noon to Saturday noon this year. That is a real pain too, usually its Saturday to Sunday. We've raised $1000 so far this year. We are doing an Avon fund raiser this month, it will go till the 8th. Hope we make a nice amount with that. Plus raffle tickets with 12 different prizes, chances are only $5.00 a ticket.

Life

This was in an email from Sparkpeople today. I don't know who wrote it, but wanted to share it with all of you.

Don't put off living the life you want There is no lesson for today.

You have permission to stop thinking for a moment and just enjoy yourself. Stop looking at your computer right now and go look at the world. Rediscover the natural wonders that you walk past every day. How can there possibly be that many shades of green? Let your mind be grateful for a break. Don't think, don't strain. Let the memories of loved ones remind you of your favorite times. Close your eyes and try to smell the sunshine. Listen to your heart beat in your ears. If it's raining, smile at the thought of the flowers that will soon follow. If you're surrounded by buildings, celebrate the creative genius of human beings. See the hope, the alarm, the love, the grief in faces that stream by. Thank whomever you'd like to thank for the chance to even be here. For a moment today, don't worry about being better. Just be.

Plans, plans, plans

Good morning everyone, its a day off and boy, do we ever have plans for the day. First off is my workout. This morning is going to be Turbo Sculpt. Cardio later this afternoon or early evening. I have an appointment to tan at 9:30 and from the looks of our spring, that may be the only time I see "sunshine" for a while. Its been very cold and wet here. My dear hubby has an eye appt and when he gets back we are off to do some errands and some shopping. Bushes, shrubs and flowers for the front yard, we have a new project we are working on. I'll post pics later when its done. We need to upgrade his cell phone, stop for mothers day gift and birthday gift for the granddaughter and make a quick stop at walmart or kmart. Then hopefully home for the day before it gets to late.
Sounds like a full day, should be a fun one though. Hope you enjoy your day whatever your plans are.

computers, lists and nonsense

its a day off, I love days off,
I am making lists, I love making lists.
My list is a list of things I want to do today, it includes stuff like playing on the computer, which I am obviously doing. It inclueds getting in a walk at the track, Ijust did that, 10 times around jogging on the corners, I love it and may start that before work in the morning. My list includes getting in a turbo jam workout, been a while since I've done that and I miss it. Of course, the obvious day off things are on this list, laundry, clean house, change the sheets,etc. The list goes on.

Somewhere through this day is study time, I am on Fitness Anatomy and Physiology 1 and really want to get through this one this week. Next is part 2, then the course goes on to healthy eating.

I am really enjoying this course. Have a great day everyone.
