Body: "...subway rails or railroad track. Slow porch swing; five lane fast track; dirt road, black top, girl don't look back, there's a farm boy in the rear view mirror, with a tremblin' lip and dust bowl tears, he say's 'You gonna chase your dreams or chase me? What's it gonna be......." This song by Farmer's Daughter helped me to pick up my pace today on the treadmill. Nothing like a song with great lyrics and a boppin beat to make you want to work harder!!!
I also managed to squeeze in my ab workout, using my 8 lb ab ball. Don't have the name of the video, or instructor close at hand right now (save that for another blog), but I bought it from Jenny Craig (not the actual person, or Valerie Bertanelli either) the franchise. Right now my body is sending me conflicting messages. "great work out Stacey." "why are you putting these stomach muscles through so much pain." It's almost like having those little angels and devils on your shoulder, talking at the same time. keep going;stop;keep going;stop I can see why people think they are hearing voices all the time.
All this before I had to leave to take my car into the dealer at 10:00. Impressive you say. Not really. You should have seen my hair....unfortuanetly starting this journey is going to result in a short haircut again. Hats off (no pun intended) to those people (judging from my son, not just ladies) who have the patience and talent to recreate the look each day. Maybe in a future blog that will be one of my ways to be good to my body!!!! (I'd better not have anything else going on that day, cause it could take awhile)
Also had over 10,000 steps on my pedometer!!! Yeah.....
Mind: I recently purchased "The Secret" on CD and listened to all four of the CD's over a three week period. It was a lot of information to absorbe. So today, I pulled out the CD's again and made it half way through the first CD. I hope to make notes on a few things that I find useful and poinant to me!!!!
Also had a nice visit with a friend from work today. RP stopped by with her younger sister who was visiting her from Taber. They had been to the Farmers Market and J bought some Salt Water Taffy. Delicious. J explained to me how salt water taffy was invented. If you didn't know, you should look it up. Very facinating. Maybe we should have dropped some in the hot tub while we were out there and we could have invented chlorinated Taffy!!!!! Thanks for the visit ladies; it was very relaxing.
Write tomorrow
Stacey
